Hina Aoyama- Paper Decoupage Artist

Pictures Via Hina Aoyama

Breath-taking paper cutting art by Hina Aoyama, a Japanese artist living in France. The way she demonstrates her cutting the paper looks so easy breezy. Oh so meticulous and time consuming. Can you believe it she did all of these only with a pair of sharp pointed scicors?. See more of her artwork here.

Swarovski Crystal Light Switch -jewelry for the wall.

Image Via Trendir

Swarovski crystal light switch sounds way too over-the-top and unnecessary? Especially now? Hmmm....let's see what we learned from the past. Chanel accessories, lipsticks and perfumes were sold like hot cakes during the depression-era. Little luxuries like this helps us going through hard times. Well my dearest, that is just a little-theory of mine. This precious little jewelry for the wall is that little luxury add that little "ooohhh and ahhhhh" affect in our "humble-little- mansion". You dont need much, just a nice pristine wall as it's background. Especially while you are entertaining, you could brag a little and say something like " Oh, Mon Dieu, it is so dark in here! Let me turn on the light dears! et Voila!" *wink wink* Manufactured by a German manufacture Berker, which means quality and this light switch would last a life time. Might be another family heirloom for your future grandchilden? A...oui??? See more images here.

out of the cupboard- Jo Meesters

Picture Via Jo Meesters

It is a very fresh approach to re-invent the look of an old funiture by a young Dutch industrial designer, Jo Meesters. I love his sensitivity and unpretentious approach in his designs. His work values the importance of nature, craftmanships and back to basic values. I saw a lot of honesty, down-to-earth approach and sophisticated details consistently in all of them. Click here to see more of his work. In some ways he does romanticizes some aspect but in a very suble way which makes it beautiful. Below is a quote of his concept.

"The basic principle of Jo Meester’s work is sustainability. By integrating various aspects of craftsmanship, sophistication, and detailing, Meesters aims to imbue his projects and products with an emotional value. In this way, he emphasises his commitment to the creation and perception of a bond between object and user.back..." (via jomeesters.nl)
