{Mid-Week Inspiration} Marimekko Process…

When I cracked open my new dwell magazine, I was delighted to see an article called, “Helsinki Ink” under the PROCESS category. You know I love Marimekko, but I also love reading about everyone’s creative process. This article lets you step inside Marimekko’s printing factory- oh how I would love to go in person! But for now, it was a nice studio break read.  

You can view the “Helsinki Ink” article here or check out the new September issue of dwell magazine pages 72-76.  It was just the little piece of mid-week inspiration that I needed to get back to work. Hope you are having a great week!

{Inspiring Design} the Do Nothing Machine…

It’s a sunny Sunday & if I had this cool contraption in our back yard, it would be movin’ like crazy! I was just able to sneak in a little break & picked up my new dwell magazine to find an article about the “Do Nothing Machine” (pgs 86 & 87) designed by the Eames Office in 1957. Ray & Charles Eames (my all time favorite designers) made this intricate toy due to a request to design something that would show off the potential of Aluminum Company of America’s lightweight metals. This awesome machine gets it’s energy from a sun-charged battery pack.

What a perfect day to learn about something that does nothing, creatively… by the power of the sun- which is what I hope to do a little of today. Thanks again Ray & Charles for inspiring me with your genius. Now, back to a little dwell reading & drooling (over the design of course) before I head up to the studio.  Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
