These crayons are almost magical.
Even seen a 5000 colour rainbow?
But this rainbow of 8 meters long and 5,000 Pantone chips rainbow is here as part of an effort to increase the awareness of the variety of colours that Pantone offers. Aptly put together by hand to form a rainbow, it was the hard work of days and nights. The result: a well presented and effective ‘poster’.

The Perforated House by Kavellaris Urban Design .
The site is nestled between a row of single fronted Victorian terraces and a double fronted Edwardian weatherboard house. To respond to the period setting, the architects designed this Perforated House as a response to establish an alternative language to the accepted notion of the cultural attitude towards critical questions of identity and heritage.
The built form is essentially an urban infill within a 5.5×14.4m envelope. More than just a facade reinterpreting traditional facade typologies with liberation, the building instead allows the external facade to be experienced internally. The facade is also a multi functional device that constantly transforms the built form from solid to void, from private to public, from opaque to translucent. By day the building is heavy and reflective and by night inverting into a soft translucent permeable light box. The operable wall or the absence of the fixed facade removed the idea that houses are static. This architectural manipulation of space blurred the boundaries between inside and outside, the public and private realm. The manipulated spaces overlapped and borrowed the amenity and context of its surrounding environment.
"This project to us is a platform to establish a critical dialogue within our built environment; to raise questions as much as it is to finding solutions. The project is a critique on our cultural attitudes and how we determine them. A critique on what we consider to be of heritage significance and how to narrate such ideas in a critical and contemporary manner." -- Words of the architect
Always one of our beloved brands, absolute once again brings a smile to our faces!
Celebrating creativity, Absolut debuted “Anthem” on August 3, a new visionary TV commercial that artfully embraces the brands legend as a pioneering and culture-shaping brand.
Created by six real life artistic installations, this cinematic, inspirational film, shot by Rupert Sanders, is both a literal and metaphorical manifestation of the brand’s ethos – In an ABSOLUT World, Doing Things Differently Leads to Something Exceptional. The commercial will launch globally, and is for many markets the first ever TV commercial from ABSOLUT.
At six different locations a crew of artisans have created large-scale installations out of ice blocks, wheat, two thousand hanging ABSOLUT bottles, flying lanterns, gigantic balloons and a myriad of glass cylinders. Each installation forms a word and is crafted to tell its part of the ABSOLUT story – from the iconic shape of the bottle and the Swedish winter wheat distilled to the urban landscapes in which ABSOLUT VODKA is enjoyed.

Hellmann’s - It’s Time for Real from CRUSH on Vimeo.
This is a must-see. This beautifully made infographic animated movie "It's Time for Real / Eat Local, Eat Real" highlights the increasing tendency of food importation, and how this phenomenon influences the economy, the environment and our neighborhoods. With a graphical style similar to the Stranger than Fiction opening scene, this movie is part of the campaign Eat Real, Eat Local [eatrealeatlocal.ca], by the Unilever brand Hellman's. The message is mainly meant for Canadians, but certainly applies universally. A project by Ogilvy and Unilever.
