World Map by Julie Marabelle for ISSEY MIYAKE

While writing this post this morning about Famille Summerbelle's new collection the Performers ... I discovered that founder and paper cut artist Julie Marabelle collaborated with fashion icon and designer Issey Miyake from Japan for their Pleats Please range.

The items of the WORLD MAP series from Famille Summerbelle are used as printes for a whole range of clothes and home accessoiries. Isn't that very impressive! according to Issey Miyake the world map series vividly express that all aspects of the world, such as people, animals, plants, nature, and buildings, live together on this earth. 

And in the image above is the original and beautiful paper cut World Map framed ... available here.

Twilight, shade, dawn ... new collection by Tas-ka

Absolutely worth waiting for ... the new collection by Dutch design studio Tas-ka.

Twilight, shade, dawn! ... are the six new prints screenprinted on high-quality cotton, all fabricated in The Netherlands.

The ladies from tas-ka are bgining the sensation of 'Schemer, lommer, dageraad' (dutch for Twilight, shade, dawn!) which is the elusiveness of what happens in the early morning and evening, with the clear colours of the rising- and setting sun and the darkness of the night.

And the new collection is now available in their webshop.

Many more images below.

I Like You...

Esme Winter (yes, that is a real name - gorgeous!) is the London based designer behind these lovelies above. Though I find her style to be more contemporary than I usually go for - the bright, and then often muted colors she uses agrees with me! You can learn more about her notebooks here, and wrapping paper here. And these are the shops that stock her products.

Another shop that is using a textile background, and bringing a more contemporary twist to paper, but this time in origami form, is Birdtoldme. Britta Manger is the bird, who is behind all the designs and creations at her shop. I've never been crazy about origami, but this way, I really like it.  - Tiffany King

Sandra & Susan

{Seaside and Flora pillows by Dermond Peterson}
Via “hoping for happy accidents” vond ik Dermond Peterson Design. Sandra & Susan ontwerpen functioneel textiel, veelal geïnspireerd door de natuur. Deze kussens zijn uit de Seaside en Flora collecties. Mooi voor in je beach house of tussen de bamboo potten op je balkon. Alle produkten worden met de handgemaakt met milieuvriendelijke materialen, zoals waterbasis inkt. Helaas, alleen nog te koop in de US, maar je kunt ze emailen en een internationale order plaatsen.

By Fribert

{By Fribert. Clean and crisp designs by Kirsten from Denmark}
Sia van Siagrafica vertelde me laatst over By Fribert. Kirsten Fribert uit Denemarken ontwerpt te veel om op te noemen. Ik doe een kleine greep uit haar mooie collectie. Kirsten's ontwerpen zijn herkenbaar door uitvergrote organische symbolen in felle kleuren tegen een witte achtergrond.

Fris en vrolijk. Ik vind zelf deze portemonneetjes en tafellakens het mooist. Op haar website kun je de volledige collectie zien.
