My absolute "coup de coeur" of the Paris trade fair are definitely these objects made of wood pieces caught in the middle of transparent acrylic... Pure art. Click here for more details.

>fashion has gone MAD Men!

I'm a big fan of the MAD Men TV series, all about the AD men of MADison avenue in the fifties and what's funny is that it has been invading fashion lately!
A little example: above the new Vuitton Campaign and below one pict of the MadMen cast...

>blog of the week: Design Sponge

I know most of you know Design Sponge but what i would like to talk about today is their "living in" feature that talks about the DA (Artistic direction) in a particular movie, and then shows different inspirational stuff to recreate that mood... Especially that the Darjeeling Limited is one of my favorite movies...

>celebrate originality

Love this Adidas fun campaign! they are simply tagging old stores steel window, with the shop's validation of course... creative, fun and still brand oriented! I'll try to shoot more because each is different.

>80ies...in the mags...

I am preparing a new series on this blog, a plunge in my mag archives of the 80ies and 90ies, and I was going through the press ads of this period and there is one that I remember quite well, as well as its Tv ad.. It is: "la femme est une île, fidji est son parfum"...
So it was quite funny to see it on Garance's blog today...

>funny how lily goes...

This frozen vegetable packaging was a project we worked on a few years ago, and the brief was "vintage, homemade, in a 1950's kitchen by aunt lily..."
Clearly the communication agency (?) did not get the same brief, or maybe perceived the brand as "fashionable and trendy cooking" because of our design??
Or maybe two or three years ago vintage was an emerging trend and now it is highly fashionable...
In any case, it is the first time someone else works on the communication of something we created from scratch and I actually like it! Does it look edible though?

>vive le quebec!

I'll let you indulge in the funniest packaging text, courtesy of Air Canada!
"Maized and confused..."

> a few days left...

Enchanting imagery, Celtic inspiration, and more importantly the scenography of this exhibition is amazing...
