+919168240606 This conceptual tower pushes the boundaries of form, function, and sustainability. A beacon of futuristic architecture, it stands as a dialogue between nature and structure, light and shadow. Designed not just to rise, but to inspire.

typeface Bau

Continuing the work on my typeface — bau, a modular grid-based alphabet inspired by the structural clarity of the Bauhaus. Each letter is constructed within a strict square system — limiting expression to geometry, yet revealing rhythm through form.

This is not a decorative font. It’s a study in structure, in constraint, in balance. Where every shape follows a logic, but keeps its own identity.

Built on the principle: less, but better.

The Weight of Design: Embracing Structure and Patience

Structure comes in all shapes and sizes. It plays with gravity. A design can influence its form. As with all lessons we have to learn to take the weight; to take the wait.You can not calculate the time it takes to uphold this reality, but it requires the fear of god.

The placement of the repeating brush stroke pattern on the rippled surface of this yunomi guides your eyes around its bulging form while inviting your grip into its curves and indentations - what to fill it with? #yunomi #tea #mug #cup #hojicha #genmaicha #ergonomic #porcelaneousstoneware #surfacedesign #formfollowsfunction #ceramics #clay #pottery #potteryporn #instapottery #pottersofinstagram #etsy #etsyceramics #etsypottery #minneapolis #minnesota #kickwheel #potterystudio (at A-Mill Artist Lofts) https://www.instagram.com/p/CNEOEqvjoN0/?igshid=trolqkovv8uk

Metal. So hard to #work with... and just as rewarding. My respect goes to #metalworkers and #metalshapers that are using metals to create things, especially if they do it by hand. This chain was lost, then found and rusted, used to produce natural dye and then cleaned, polished and given a #blackened finish. It will look amazing with black silk and cotton, rust dyed cotton jersey, dusty chiffon and #recycled leather. I chose the abandoned materials because they deserve another chance and purpose. When the material is in a perfect condition it can be recycled manually, which is the most #sustainable material there is.

Pausing

With the state of the world as it is, we risk foregoing the importance of simple things like rest and self care. We’re busy with our routines – their efficiency, and our bandwidth. So, this week we want to take a pointed note to pause in the noise of each of these days. This post is dedicated to that intention, and specifically to our favourite kind of pause: the coffee break.

Looking into a brief history of it, we found that the coffee break is intrinsically linked to the dawn of an eight-hour factory workday that took place in the early twentieth century. The establishment of a set workday fueled the formation of unions, who in turn demanded breaks from their strenuous work. Enter: coffee, a perfectly energizing pause, and a product that also began to be commercially available around this time. Our research led us to realize that the world’s love for coffee breaks set in place a high demand for their functional counterparts: the coffee and tea sets. What we’re showing here are a selection of our favourites, tracing the timeline of the coffee break from the late 1800s onwards, and marveling at these marriages of form and function. The incorporation of thoughtful design into each of our daily routines is something we celebrate. These give us all the more reason to do so.
