NENDO DESIGNS THE WOMEN’S FASHION FLOOR OF A JAPANESE DEPARTMENT STORE



One of our favourite design companies "Nendo" does it again. Great report on www.designmilk.com Posted by Caroline Williamson

Nendo gave the women’s clothing floor at popular Japanese department store Seibu Shibuya a completely new look. The Key to Style floor received a visually dynamic new look that was inspired by an amusement park, with a monotone color scheme to complete the space. Using a light blue on the ceiling and wood in certain parts, the department comes together with graphic zig zag flooring and white details interspersed throughout.

Designer spotlight - Jean-Paul Gaultier

Image
Jean-Paul Gaultier Jean-Paul Gaultier is a French fashion designer born on April 24, 1952 in Arcueil, Val-de-Marne, France. At age 18, he joined the house of Pierre Cardin before moving on to Jacques Esterel and Patou. The debut of Gaultier’s own collection was in 1976, but he did not officially launch his own design house until 1982. His style is known to challenge standard views of fashion. He collaborated with Madonna in 1990 to create her infamous conical bras. In 2003, he became head designer at Hermes where he worked until 2011. Diet Coke appointed Gaultier as its new creative director in 2012.   Early Years The only child of a bookkeeper and a cashier, Jean Paul Gaultier developed a taste for fashion at a young age.

As we look forward to future trends, we start to see a very interesting development starting to take place, a development so quirky and fun it is bound to bring a smile to anyone’s face. It is as if we have come to realise that we are sick and tired of all the doom and gloom of the recession and it is time to have fun and stop taking ourselves so seriously. As consumers, we want to smile and embrace all things positive and without a doubt, we want to smile in our homes when we do have those rare moments of free time. Worldwide, this new approach to design sees an exploration of fantasy, fairy tale and the imaginary, sometimes even bordering on kitsch; these designs uplift the spirits and make great points of interest in even the most conservative of homes.

Chair Trends by Dave Nemeth

One of the oldest pieces of furniture is the chair, this functional piece has its origins dating  back to the Stone Age, where Archaeological evidence of sculptural relics at Neolithic building sites suggest chair and bench-like areas. Ancient Egypt has some of the earliest surviving physical examples of the Western world’s use of chairs. Egyptian tombs that have been unearthed contain chairs and stools from as far back as the Egyptian Old Kingdom, about 2680 B.C., well preserved by Egypt’s dry air. Regardless of how far back the design of the chair dates it is the continual evolution and constant reinvention of this exceptionally functional piece of furniture, which continues to intrigue. From British Louis chairs to American Chippendale chairs, almost every notable and world famous designer and architect has at some stage designed a chair, this includes the likes of Macintosh, Frank Lloyd Wright, Le Corbusier all the way through to Philippe Stark and Karim Rashid.
