Wallpockets by Ampersand

February 24, 2009 // kristen // 0 replies

Check out Wallpockets, smart, modern cardboard creations by Shea Springer and Tim Karoleff, fifth year industrial design students at the University of Cincinnati. The pair offer their product line under the name Ampersand, and Wallpockets are their latest collaborative work. What an original way to store small items that would otherwise clutter up your space!

Wallpockets are die cut shapes inspired by textures created by clusters of barnacles, and they can be manufactured in any color combo. I can totally see these right at home in an industrial loft or living space or a modern office. – via 2Modern

We’re a long way from spring here in the Northeastern US. Sure, it’s been a little warmer, and most of the snow from past storms has melted, but I know better and fully expect at least one more big storm before the season’s out.

No matter what season it is outside, we can all have a little spring in our homes throughout the year with these oh so pretty origami cherry blossoms. The Flirty Guide shows us, step by step, how to make our very own. – via Curbly

Trine Tealight Candleholder

Swoon…this laser cut paper lotus flower blossom tealight holder is incredible. Created by Singapore’s Trine Design Associates, the candleholder features three rings of intricately patterned petals that feature traditional floral motifs found in Chinese, Arabic, and Islamic art, respectively.

These three cultures represent the majority of Singapore’s population and cultural heritage, and the lotus flower is symbolic of the wish for peace and hope for the nation. – via The Dieline
