Just discovered the work of a young Irish designer, Duane Dalton. Graduating from IADT, his overall body of work comes off very experimental, with lots of fascinating fragments of ideas strewn throughout. I especially enjoy his more recent work that plays with geometric patterning and masking, Glorified Objects.

Hope to see more from Duane in the coming years!

Anyone who knows me, also knows I’m a huge fan of Marian Bantjes’ work. She just lets herself go with every project, and seems to never let a new idea go un-tried—a consistent quality that’s taken her career a long way.

I love these hand-assembled number illustrations she prepared for Men’s Health. I’m feeling compelled to hop off the computer and bring the physical object back into my design. It’s been a while. Also, the pattern design for Wallpaper/Laser Sailboat is TOO cool. What an amazing project to take on!

Check it outtttt.

The triangular patterns created in these ceiling lights are lovely! I could spend some time with this… a tasty bit of geometric design inspiration.
