Breathing Cloud by Dorette Sturm. A monumental floating organism. Its shape is soft, curved, enticing yet intriguing. The technology was designed in such a way that its breathing rhythm is supported by the strong LED modules and a mechanism. It becomes physically bigger and smaller, embracing the surrounding space with its bright light.

Some Shirt. I like this limited edition graphic shirts by Some Shirt. Six times a year they issue a limited edition of sixty shirts, with exclusively designed fabric. They resemble ordinary striped shirts but up close you’ll see metro or modest queue tickets. Initiated by graphic designer Gijs Sierman (Amsterdam).

AKATRE ‘ZERO TO FIVE’. Last saturday at the ‘Papierhier’ event Amsterdam I saw the presentation of French design agency Akatre (founded 2007). Highly original, experimental work which cross fluidly between graphic design, art, typography and photography. Zero to Five is the first book (Gestalten) to showcase the visual creations of these three guys from Paris. The book features both non-commissioned work and work designed for clients in art, culture, music, fashion. Unfortunately the book contains only images, there are no project/concept descriptions included…?
