Trip Pixel Furniture by Studio Badini Createm for Seletti.

Studio Badini Createam and Selab teamed up for this collection of three pieces, an armoire (or wardrobe), a two drawer and a three drawer chest from Seletti. The classic furniture pieces are decorated by hand with a pixelated image of a woman's face, melding the traditional with the modern.

Pixelated Eyewear From Samal Design

Futuristic glasses with pixelated frames from Dzmitry Samal of Samal Design were inspired by the 80s, referencing old 8 bit video games such as Tetris. Although computer images and graphics have evolved in recent decades, Samal wanted to exploit the roots of digital graphics and remind us how technology has inspired all that is in use today.





The glasses, of which several different styles are available, are made entirely in France of acetate and have 100% UV protected lens from Christian Dalloz Sunoptics sunglasses or transparent glass. Each pair can be customized with different colors, including the temples and the frame of the lens.

Fabric Covered Padded Pixel Portraits Made With The Help Of Prison Inmates.

As part of textile brand Kvadrat's Hallingdal 65, a project in which 32 talented designers were asked to to create entirely new works using the textile originally designed by Nanna Ditzel, Dutch designer Hjortefar designed two giant portraits (BUM and NANNA) made up of fabric covered padded pixels in 29 colors. In total each piece contains 7200 pixels and measures 3 x 6 meters.



Each portrait is created using 60 × 60 pixels, each pixel being a 5 × 5 cm small padded foam piece on a base of MDF. The pieces have been padded by inmates of Denmark's Vridsløselille State Prison.



BUM:




The project asked the designers to explore new applications for the fabric. In his own words, Hjortfar describes the thinking behind his portraits:

‘When I told my dad about my participation in this project he just replied “BUM!”’, remembers Mads Hjort aka Hjortefar. ‘First I was puzzled but later he told me about a book published by Kvadrat 25 years ago. It was a story about an unusual man, answering to the name Bum (Boom), because he was born the same year World 
War I began’.

Hjortefar had to know more.‘I found the book on my grandmother´s bookshelf and got hold of a short documentary about Bum from the Danish Broadcasting Corporation’s archives. This proved to be a thrilling encounter with an exuberant, vivacious and tireless entrepreneur who among other things collaborated with Nanna Ditzel when creating Hallingdal.’ After getting to know Bum and Nanna better, it became obvious to Hjortefar that he wanted to create portraits of these two masterminds.

About eBoy:
eBoy was founded in 1997 by Kai Vermehr, Steffen Sauerteig and Sven Smital with the acquisition of the eBoy.com domain. The basic idea driving eBoy was the embracement of the new possibilities of the emerging digital world. The decision to directly work on and for the screen led to the use of pixels. A modular based work system started to evolve and resulted in complex object rich artwork. eBoy is lucky to have worked with some of the finest clients and partners. Among them are Adidas, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Paul Smith, DKNY, Kidrobot, MTV, The New York Times, Wired Magazine and many, many more. eBoy currently is based in Berlin/Germany and in Vancouver/Canada.

Wallpaper Republic of Australia is yet another wonderful wallpaper company who collaborates with artists to create wall coverings that are not mass-produced. Like Rollout of Canada, they have many styles of artwork by artists from all over the world, which has been printed as wallpaper that can be purchased from their online store here.
