Triangle Notebook by Tan Mavitan
Books and notes have always taken the form of rectangles, however, this time, one little nifty product goes beyond the shape to increase productivity. Artist and product designer Tan Mavitan has created a one of a kind notebook that one can immediately spot from first glance. Instead of having straight four corners, one can only find three angles to which this object rests its uniqueness. The smaller size and the new shape makes it easier to carry and more convenient to use.
Still Life Paper Cut by FIdeli Sundqvist
Fideli Sundqvist repaints still life images with paper, glue and mixed media materials rather than a paint brush. Using her skills in paper folding, plus her eccentric way of protruding three-dimensional appeal to her works makes these objects appear as if they were the real thing. Like familiar dioramas students used to make during their high school days, the charming touch placed into every object upon the stage seems to create a vibrant little life, all worked out in full details to embody the truest mimic as much as possible.
