Pleats

Israeli designers Yael Mer & Shay Alkalay of Raw-Edges Design Studio created an astonishing series of plush seats. To do so, they borrowed a pleating technique used in fashion production, and a special material (DuPont ™ Tyvek ® sheets). The method of pleating allows the flat, non elastic material to become a springy, three dimensional cushion when filled with soft polyurethane foam. Brilliant!

Mysterious letters

Designed to prompt neighborly discussion and promoting community curiosity, Michael Crowe and Lenka Clayton decided to write a handwritten letter to everybody in the world. This project kicked off writing to every single household of Cushendall, Ireland. In two weeks time Michael and Lenka wrote 467 letters, and in trying to be personal they put in the time and effort to make each letter entertaining and stunningly beautiful. Imagine receiving such a letter? How wonderful would that be? I hope one day I will find one on my doormat too...

Another treasure... the simple and elegant clear-line & watercolor illustrations from the Japanese Micca.
