some things just simply stand out

I've always like design.
Concepts, colors, textures.. ambience.. the feell...
How you can move just several things around one space...
within minutes... portraying totally different views,
sharing totally different feel with just a simple play of colors, textures and lighting.

Let's share some pix.. not to say that I like them in whole..
but some bits and pieces from the image that stands out..
where we can interpret them into another whole piece of different design.

Going online, surfing, reading books, browsing magazine.. exploring new places..
whenever you're in a sudden need or rush to bullshit advise your clients...
these things helped a lot in generating "sudden" ideas to bull provide genuine opinions..
Right??

i've always like raw design. rugged. bricks, concrete, a bold color that stands right out.
A texture that you'll never get bored of or "out-date"..
Modern can get easily bored off.. or just walk into Ikea. *grins*

I never like things too plain. No lining, no grains, no plush.. nah-uh.. *shakes head*
Well, I just can't never stand a place way toooo modern or so-called-self-proclaimed-minimalism for my own personal liking.
When your client tells you, they like simple simple.. minimalism.. little bit enough.. etcetc...
simply means.. no budget lor. *groans* so can save money to buy a 30k stupid couch that nobody will notice the branded logo.. and worst feels like some china-made polyestor sofa that made your backside itchy

Avant Garde not that bad either. Modern classical? hmm.. or maybe some vintage items standing out in front of a plain muddy boring color. yummy..


A designer's taste changes from time to time.
So bear with me.. beautiful people.

to house a cafe there...

Check this baby out. I looooveee it.. *grins*
Well.. at least something outta the blue that we WON'T haven't seen here..

"The latest branch of The House Café chain at the shopping mall Kanyon, is an integration of the mall’s original architecture, The House Café brand identity and the architect's design approach.
A site-built structure made of steel and glass, which functions as a transparent box to house the café, is carefully planned and designed to fit the valley-like architecture of the mall and sat on a walnut platform to add warmth to the café’s interior.
Although an extension, the structure bears its own strong design identity while blending in with its surroundings."

Nice right? It's in Istanbul, Turkey. Hmmm...

The House Cafe's official website *click*

Why can't Starbucks look like this? Hmm..
Arghs.

lights anyone?

Been online-surfing a lot lately to look for new ideas.. concepts.. different interpretations..
and to look-see look-see what's happening on the other side of the world.. *grins*
Running out of inspirations lately... still trapped in my own illogical "fantasy".. *blushes*
Back to reality babe~ haha

Was checking out new things in furniture shops whenever I found time.
in and out browsing items showcased.. window-shopping for lights & anything ID-related..
Any items in the market.. and replicas of designers' edition.. super over-high-pricey "numbers"..
Where do these people get these money to buy these things... I wonder.
When only I can have these kind of chance where I can buy without my brain's presence?

A lil' fancy with lights recently. Like to look at lights.
Hang lights, mount lights, table lights, wall lights.. any lights..
See see the pix below..

I saw something like this in Club Monaco, Pavillion KL.
Not bad. Classy. I like.
I did snapped a pix but it's still in my phone. Lazy to transfer now. =P

Not bad huh? Simple but made a difference.
Can you believe all these are interiors in China? Hmm...
Whether or not the lights are China-Made, I'm not sure.... Hehehe..


But the one below.. DEFINITELY IS!!
