Seltanica Light // Zoe Coombes & David Boira

March 20th, 2012

If you think these stunning lamps are reminiscent of a moonscape or the hills and valley’s of some far off landscape thats because the Seltanica Lamps were designed within modeling software normally used to create animal membranes for animation. Made from Gypsum these lights were built to express formalism unique to the contemporary world, the Seltanica’s interiors are as much a product of technological experiment as they are guided by classic compositional rules for the creation of desirous adornment. The interior is created by a wet machine controlled and skillfully manipulated by hand and the exterior maintains clean, industrial characteristics that allow it to be replicated with precision.

Star Wars Identities // Bleublancrouge

March 19th, 2012

The nerd in me has been looking forward to this since my mom called to tell me about it last November. Now the designer in me is just as excited thanks to the beautiful work of Montreal’s Bleublancrouge. Their work on the Star Wars Identities exhibit poster that has recently begun popping up across the country. Opening in Montreal, on April 19 the exhibit then makes it’s way to Edmonton on October 27. According to the smarty-pants at Blueblancrouge the posters and the exhibit are meant to explore the theme of personal identity both in ourselves and in the characters that inhabit the Star Wars universe. They achieve this by building six portraits that represent extremely different Star Wars personas, ones that in some ways we can all identify with. The poster series includes: Yoda, Darth Vader, Amidala, C-3PO, Boba Fett and a Stormtrooper.
