I stumbled upon beautiful art by Catrin Welz-Stein. Her work is wonderful
mix of collage, illustration a digital art. Abstract and surreal, it has a
dream-like fantasy quality belonging to another world.

Beautiful Art & Photography
Lighting layers and reflections by Autumn de Wilde
Beautiful.
Beautiful Lighting Design
This Symphony Lamp chandelier designed by
Anna Strupinskaya is stunning. The concept of the
chandelier explores the connection between light and
sound waves and their resemblance. Light, color and
sound are visualized in three interlaced spatial ribbons.
The ribbons of translucent silicone imitate rows of
tubes that contribute to the perception of the musical
instruments theme. Love the translucency and
beautiful color overlaying effects.
Beautiful Furniture
Love these chairs. Véronique Baer’s Bounce
is conical foam sculpture which transforms
into a soft and comfortable chair the moment
someone sits on it. Bounce is a family of three
seats, Anton, Christine and Olaf, that easily
adapt to body shapes and that bounce back
after users get up and leave. Their symmetrical
shape invites people to sit from any side and
in any position. Bounce is on display now at the
DMY Berlin exhibition until June 1, 2014.

Beautiful Architecture
Asymptote’s proposal of the Guggenheim in Guadalajara
competition imagined the museum as an undulating
mass rising from four sculptural corner volumes,
with a central atrium acting as an “urban balcony.”
While they lost to Enrique Norten, their surprising
proposal has since been attracting attention and
acclaim. With a strong, iconic architectural expression
on a spectacular, clifftop site, the diaphanous specter
seemingly hovers like a spaceship. It is touted by the
architects as a space that performs simultaneously as
a “dramatic viewing platform, a gateway, a gathering
place, an urban theater and an outdoor exhibition space.”
Beautiful Thought to Ponder
“Everything good proceeds from enthusiasm.”
– Brian Eno
Beautiful Brand
Zappos simply gets it right.
Take note.
Beautiful Commencement Speeches
It’s that time of year when many are graduating.
Over at NPR discover 300+ commencement speeches
dating back to 1774. Must have been a monumental
task, enjoy one or two…or three.
