Have a super weekend!
Oh my god, these chocolates look fabulous!
For the Maison & Objet trade fair, Japanese design firm Nendo (the people behind The nesting shelf and Seven doors ) created Chocolatexture. While the size and taste is identical, these nine chocolates have been created with unique and exquisite shapes. Each chocolate is directly named after Japanese expressions used to describe texture, like “sube-sube” means smooth edges and corners or “fuwa-fuwa” is soft and airy with many tiny holes.

This place looks like heaven for the kids!
Copenhagen-based COBE Architects designed a kindergarten modeled on simple children’s drawings of houses with peaked roofs: “We have worked to create a simple expression, as a caricature of how a child might draw a house.”

“Little Sofia loves her grumpy granny: even though she is always hungry and eats what little food they can buy. Her pension is the only thing keeping her and her father alive. To what extremes will they go to once granny is no more?”
My Stuffed Granny is a short animation with plenty of black humor, inspired by the current Greek financial crisis. Effie Pappa’s stop-motion animation, is not really a fairytale for kids, but an allegorical take on Greece’s younger generation who must become creative and persistent in order to build a better future for their country.
A series of surreal city landscapes of Turkey straight from a sci-fi movie. They are from Istanbul-based artist & photographer Aydin Büyüktaş.

“Designers and artists all over the world use Pantone’s color guides to make sure their blue is actually blue. Like a Webster’s dictionary for color, Pantone guides are a standard against which anyone can check their own work. Those standards are created at Pantone’s factory headquarters in Carlstadt, New Jersey. In this video, Quartz talks to the workers who maintain and enforce those standards.”
Inside the Pantone color factory: This lovely video gives an insight to the making of the famous Pantone colors we all know and many of us use every day in our work.
