Sunday softness
Today I feel like a mix of soft pastels.

Living like Lotta II
Remember my blogpost about Swedish stylist Lotta Agaton's Stockholm apartment here?
Now she has moved. But she is true to her style.
It's the same colors scheme (black and white)
and most of her old designer items are there.
Quality last.
These pictures are from the December issue of RUM.
Personally I love all the big, green plants,
which add a soft feel to the edgy monochrome style
which we are familiar with in her prop styling.

Vintage elegance

Great photo of vintage seats in a simple, yet elegant space.
The space in between
Yup, I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
I LOVE German stylist/photographer and let me say artist
She knows the great still life masters.
Like Morandi.
She is a master of in between space.
Just watch these arrangements.
It's not easy to work with an "empty" spaces.
Most people aren't even aware of them...
But Dietlind Wolf knows her craft.
In these examples, from her blog, she plays with creases and lines
to create interest in the "empty" space between the objects.
Masterful!
All images found at her blog.
Where nature and design meet
You've probably heard of the Golden Rectangle.
It's taught at art and design schools, as a tool to find the perfect balance
in a picture, a design, or in architecture.
Or for that matter, all sorts of arrangements. Like still life.
It's good to know, And practice.
But can make a design, painting or arrangement slightly boring,
unless you add a twist to it - skew it a little.
The mathematics behind it all is based on the Fibonacci sequence.
Look closely, and you'll find it everywhere in nature.
Like the shell above.
Or the white rose or green leaves below.
And lots, and lots of man made design.

What a clever design. Very clear message!
It's talented blogger Emma Fexeus' new T-shirt design against breast cancer.
