As a full concept design studio we encounter numerous unpredictable things.

These days our studio is completely occupied with creating unique artworks for the ceilings, curtains and carpets for one of our newest South Beauty restaurants located in Taipei. The artworks are huge watercolor paintings filled with elements from Chinas rich nature and culture put together in a fun and quirky way. It's a fun but challenging job that involves the whole design studio.

Here is a tiny fraction of the main 800sqm ceiling.

Three weeks ago Laura's Bakery opened in the new gastro market Torvehallerne, in the centre of Copenhagen.

Maybe these pics will make you stop by soon and have a taste of all the deliciuos godness.

It is always interesting and inspiring to learn about new materials and technologies - last week our design team went on a study trip to the annual Material Fair in Bella Center. This is one of the craziest and most groundbreaking new materials that they encountered. Inventions like this can only stimulate the creativity. What would you do with this?

These stylish earphones by the japanese designer Nendo, are inspired by the transparency and unity of the jellyfish. The earphones are named otokurage which refer to oto=sound and kurage=jellyfish. The photos continues the jellyfish analogy and we like the arty pictures and the clear and simple design of the earphones.

LED is the technology of the future and there are many interesting ways to integrate light, design and technology.
