Christian Bason: Director of MindLab

This is the future.

I am so excited to be starting my career when design is being recognized as a true driver. Not just in the artistic sense but in a business/public sector/government/social change sense.

I know I'm a nerd. I have never been one of the cool kids. But I know where my passion is and I am proud of it.

This is my future. And I cannot wait.

one day..

Viewfinder bangle

purdy..

Alison Watt

i have a thing for fabric. not in a 'nothing but 100% pure Egyptian cotton with a 200 thread count will ever touch my skin' kind of thing. but i love fabric that has been painted/sculpted in another medium. take the mad paintings of Alison Watt for example:

 

 
 
 

or stunning Renaissance sculptures:
 






i love how fluid and soft the fabric is.. the attention to detail in terms of light&dark and the creases is just ridiculous..
