‘Blah, Blah, Blah’ by Louise Campbell

‘Blah, Blah, Blah’ meeting room interior concept, like all the designs by Louise Campbell, is characterized by poetic, subtle, feminine attention to detail and seems to play with graphic outlines. The meeting room was created for Gl. Strand, Danish fine-art exhibition hall in the heart of Copenhagen in 2008. 

"Focus is on the enormous amount of words used during meetings, of which only a fraction are truly useful." 

Louise Campbell established her own studio in 1996, and works mainly with furniture and lightning design for companies such as Louis Poulsen, Zanotta, HAY, Royal Copenhagen, Holmegaard, Stelton, Muuto and Interstop.

At Copenhagen studio three guidelines rule: 

always start from scratch - find the core of the issue - dare to be different.

Surreal from Studio Job

The lead designers of Antwerp-based Studio Job are Job Smeets and Nynke Tynage, who met as the students at the Design Academy Eindhoven. Their creative work is known for historical inspirations, crossing the borders between art and design, and concern with moral issues.

The furniture designed by the duo was featured at 'Telling tales' exhibition London Victoria & Albert Museum last year. Following the success of the exhibition the series was presented at the Carpenters Workshop Gallery in London.

'Industry' series, which use images from traditional and contemporary iconography, creates a meaningful parallel between medieval and modern symbolism. The work contrasts the natural, creating forces, and the manmade, destructive ideas.

Styled by Faye Toogood

Writing recently in surreal atmosphere, I can not avoid mentioning Faye Toogood, a stylist excelling at creating dream-like spaces for exhibitions and set designs for photoshoots. In her superb works we can find a lot of absurd sense of humour and surrealistic play with the scale.

Faye Toogood cooperates regularly with many magazines (Vogue, Wallpaper*, Elle Decoration), designers (Tom Dixon), fashion labels (Burberry, Topshop, Comme des Garçons) and creates advertising campaigns for numerous world-known brands.
