I love good design.

Product design is a very satisfying passtime and there are many parameters you need to think about. It is a marriage between creativity and logic. Design following function. Durability and artistic vision.
Those are the things that draw me in with good design. But every now and again  you come across a piece with that something extra. An excellent addition on top of those principles.

I’ve always been a complete sucker for interactive objects and multi-purpose designs. PeonyForest‘s animal toys embody all of this in a brilliant design.

Owl

Her magical owl is the perfect example of my idea of an excellent design. It’s an adorable toy and you can also use it as a necklace or fridge magnet.

How cool is that!

Be sure to check out her other pieces. I’m also the happy new owner of a Coco the lop-eared  bunny from PeonyForest. I can’t wait to get it so that it can have a long happy life on my desk.

I’m jaded. I spend way too much time on Etsy. Sometimes I think it’s impossible for me to get that jumpy, slightly, giddy feeling you get when you see something unique and beautiful.

When you see so many beautiful, amazing things every day you imagine that you won’t be surprised anymore. I’m happy to say, I’m wrong.

I discovered KUKLAstudio last night and her work is jaw droppingly beautiful. I fell in love with her resin color pieces.

Why do I love it so much?

First off, her workmanship is exquisite. The colours amazing. The finished pieces entrancing.

What really intrigues me is the mystery. I like figuring out how things work and I’m absolutely baffled by her resin technique.

Basically, her work encompasses everything I love about art. But mostly the way that it makes you feel. Like a child looking at the world in wonderment.

I’m looking forward to some more happy surprises. Do you have any artists that delight you with their work? Let me know, I like discovering artists and love the feelings it evokes.
