Best in Park

February 29, 2012 in Fashion & Accessory Design, Pet Design

There is no denying that we are huge fans of our furry four legged friends, and also no denying that we also have fun spoiling them like they are our own kids.

Best in Park understands this, hence since 2009 have been hand crafting in Australia cute and cheeky dog collars, and accessories for our canine counterparts.

Not to mention, we are suckers for the good old fashioned bow tie!!

To purchase online, please visit their website here – not to mention, that for purchase over $100 spent online, $4 is donated to the PALS (Pets are Loving Support) program.

Tiki stool – bright, fun, practical, and brilliant. These are just a few words that popped into our head when Tiki popped up into our lives.

Designed by “derlot” a design company established in 2003 by Alexander Lotersztain, the stool is available in two heights and in a spectacular array of gloss colours. It’s mouth-like opening acts as a foot rest, and is also available with an optional seat cushion if required.

Freefold

February 23, 2012 in Furniture Design, Interior Design

The idea of customisation is always appealing, and to some degree Freefold has acknowledged this.

Ideal but not limited to house renting is the Popup Box and Popup Shelf, which are fabricated from 97% recycled materials and are 100% recyclable.

Popup Boxes provide an ideal storage solution, that can be arranged vertically or horizontally, and in any configuration that pleases you – big or small! Convenient enough to be flat packed when not in use, yet durable enough to with stand the weight of a TV, the modular units can be tailored to suit any space.

Popup Shelves are made from recycled cardboard and obtains its strength from the clever design of its folds. Again the flexibility to, place in any configuration is an easy possibility.

Let your inner interior designer and creativity unleash.

Muesli & Yoghurt

February 9, 2012 in Greenery Design, Interior Design

By far one of the guiltiest of all guilty pleasures at Design Scale is having the presence of fresh flowers or plants within the vicinity. Though our eyes and noses appreciate it -our weekly budgets don’t always, even so we are tempted to brave the early morning hours of the flower markets to sooth and over indulge in our dose of freshly cut flowers.

It is this guilty pleasure which constantly draws our attention to young and aspiring talent such as Muesli and Yoghurt, a fresh Melbourne design company specialising in innovative floral arrangements for individuals, events and special occasions.

Led by fashionista and trend setter Katie Evans, Muesli and Yoghurt is a professional and down to earth establishment that are sure to brighten up any occasion, day or room – but enough of the rambling, we will let the pictures do the talking……………….

To get in touch with Muesli and Yoghurt please visit their website www.muesliandyoghurt.com.au or facebook page. Be quick to get your orders in for a certain day of “love” next week ladies and gents……

Brett Coelho

February 7, 2012 in Furniture Design, Homeware Design, Lighting Design

Manufactured from legally collected and recycled street signs are these nifty furniture and homeware products designed by Melbourne based designer Brett Coelho.

Did you ever imagine yourself owning a piece of road authority that at the same time does not make you feel like you committed a crime of vandalism?

The recycled signs are water-jet cut and hand folded, and then sprayed with a polyurethane seal to protect the original surface of the street sign.

“Speed Light” pictured below vary depending on the size of the recycled signage and wastage is kept to the utmost minimum.

An assortment of “Speed Bowl’s” are also on offer, which are fabricated from hand folded roadsigns with non-scratch pad bases made from vinyl billboards.

To view some of the creative artworks and installations created by Brett, be sure to check out his website.
