Richard Mosse Photography

elitalice — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 12:17:59 +0000

What can a photographer do with a 40 years old infrared technic in the wilderness of Congo?

He can take our breath away. I was lucky enough to see these amazing photos by Richard Mosse on an exhibiton here in Dublin but the photos work just as much on his website. The technic was used to detect camouflage in the war.

Beware, some photos are not for the light hearted!

Let Them Sit Cake!

elitalice — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 13:56:35 +0000

This is really cool, however, looking at it gives me a serious craving for chocolate. So serious, I have to sit down.

These sofas are called LetThemSitCake! and were designed by Dejana Kabiljo for the Beijing Design Week. The bags are simple flour bags and the fake chocolate icing on top is made of some kind of sponge material. It is obviously reuseable. Omnomnom!

Octopus Chair

elitalice — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 13:37:22 +0000

There are things that never change. Like octopus being my favourite animal. So even though this may not be the fairest of them all, I love it!

The Octopus Chair is by Maximo Riera. This is the first in the ‘Animal Chair’ series. The Rhino and the Walrus are already up on the site and we are looking forward to see the Lion, the Whale and the Beetle chairs.

Men in Black

elitalice — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 11:39:55 +0000

This is not a fashion blog, especially not for men, but the more I look at these beauties the more I want to share them. So here they are.

The designer is the amazing Conquistador with German born, Athens based, Greek stylist, photographer, creative director and part time creative consultant, Tassos Sofroniou behind it. His photos and ideas are just fantastic, worth to look around his work! Oh, and if someone would throw one of these at my boyfriend, I surely wouldn’t mind!

I am back from traveling the world! I am not suggesting that I will restart Elit Alice but hey! Look at this!

The napkin is part of the “In Plain English” dining set by Afroditi Krassa. But if you seek something more eloquent, here you go.

Appetizing

elitalice — Mon, 15 Feb 2010 23:15:39 +0000

I’ve been thinking about when I will break the silence, but there is no special reason why it is happening today and not six weeks ago or two weeks from now on. Maybe it is because I am sitting in my cozy room while it is raining outside, and I am just back from a lovely dinner with friends and then I looked at these plates and thought: woah!

Now look at it again.

Amazing. The ‘Rose from Weimar’ was designed by Dirk Kels. More can be found here.

Gingerbread House

elitalice — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 11:22:07 +0000

It is bloody freezing out there, all I want to do is hide under my duvet with a hot cuppa. Tea or coffee, or if you are like me, hot choc – it doesn’t matter as long as there is a comforting biscuit with it.
Of course, festive style.

Fly in my soup?

elitalice — Sun, 29 Nov 2009 18:34:08 +0000

I need new inspiration! What are your favourite blogs? Favourite new sites? The newer the better! I feel my resources are a bit old now.

Of course, some bizarre things always appear in my reader. Like a fly that makes your soup tastier.

No worries, this is not a real fly, but a fly-shaped pepper by taiwanese Balance Wu and Chin Yang at Ahead Create.

Bon appetit!

Toilet Paper Dresses

elitalice — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 03:36:25 +0000

There are thousands of unread items in my Google Reader. I remember the days when I spent so much time on the internet that the count was always near to zero. Dreadful. I am so happy that those days are over, but of course it means that I am unable to keep up with daily updates. Sometimes I was thinking about getting one more person to write the blog but I gave up that idea. Entries may be random, but the blog stays mine!

I admit it, this was a typical thought you encounter while on the toilet. Let’s see how others are inspired by the restrooms!

This dress is entirely made out of toilet paper by Evan & Dean. The idea came from the canadian Cashmere company who sells – yes you guessed it right – toilet papers. They’ve been inviting up and coming canadian fashion designers since 2004 to create beautiful dresses crafted from their toilet tissues.

Chrysler Pasta

elitalice — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:36:32 +0000

Ever since my visit in September, I joined the group of avid New York fans. And even though pasta is not amongst my favourite (too many calories!) but it seems like the perfect souvenir!

It may not be 100% but still, quite impressive! Alex Creamer designed this packaging for a university projekt last year. “The spaghetti sits on a 3d model of the Chrysler Building that was modelled on CAD by my friend Ben Thorpe“.

I want this in production!

Love is…

elitalice — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 21:39:49 +0000

So what is love? Love is… patient? Perishable? Layers? In this case, it is the latter.

Hand embroidered, double layered t-shirts, shirts and hoodies from the amazing UEG team. The projekt is a collaboration with Przemek Nowakowski polish screenwriter, using the words from The First Letter to the Corinthians.

Love is this.

The Clock I Can See

I have to admit, even though I know I am not colourblind, I enjoz proving it through tests. It would be only natural to me to hang this clock up on my wall. Like that I could celebrate my non-colourblindness-ness every day.

The cutely named “The Clock I Can’t See” is the product of the british Sonodesign.

Hi there lunch!

elitalice — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 11:24:54 +0000

Can you imagine two months without internet? I couldn’t either. But it happened to me. I have to admit, I spent my time well and productive. After the panic of the first few days I calmed down, didn’t look for wifi on every corner, I watched a lot of films, walked around a lot, slept early. I’ve been to London, Paris, Oslo, Madrid, and of course to Budapest a few times. But this is the past. My internet is back, I have no more free time!

And what would be a better comeback post than this DIY lunchbox? This is exactly how I feel about my lunch. And about my breakfast too.

You can make it easily, just head over to Design Sponge for instructions!

I disappear now again for a few weeks for another trip, this time overseas. Back properly at the end of September!
