Tokyo studio Nervous System applied generative design algorithms to neckwear and came out with 3D-printed bowties that look like they were pulled from a mathematical equation. Each one is unique, and each one sits at the exact intersection of jewelry, sculpture, and the thing you wear to a dinner where people ask you where you got your bowtie.

More lovely and slightly spooky moments from the queen of cinema graphs, Daria Khoroshavina.

In honor of Halloween, we present some subtle yet beautifully elegant cinemagraphs from artist and photographerΒ Daria Khoroshavina. Her work has a great sense of time and mood, and she captures a spooky sensibility in this series. The floating objects give a ghostly presence, while the set pieces harken back to a purer, more magical time. Full of delicious looking treats, no less. Happy Halloween.

Spanish hairdresser Alexis FerrerΒ has created a way to print full color designs onto hair extensions, resulting in patterns and intricate styles we’ve never seen before.

The result of years of experimentation, the series is called La Favorite, and is photographed by Rafael Andreu on model Emma Fuhrmann.

We can only imagine this will result in a whole new art of hairstyle design. Β Via Kottke:

We can picture these handsome and charming illustrations framed in a children’s bedroom, adorned with their distinctive stars.

The work of El Salvador-based artist Steve Aparicio, there’s a gentleness to the style that we appreciate, yet the creatures are full of character, from technicolor whales to sparkly chameleons. Β Check out his work on Behance:Β 

We’re not saying it’d be a good idea to spend a week in bed. But if you had to, there’d be a lot of worse places to be than the HiBed, designed by Fabio Vinella. The stylish, canopy-style bed is packed with features, from built-in lighting, to a 70-inch retractable screen, with projector.  In addition, the bed has a number of health related abilities, like monitoring weight, sleep patterns, temperature, and acting as an alarm.

We must admit there are times during a bad cold when the HiBed seems like the perfect place to binge-watch a show and forget about the outside world. Via Yanko Design:

We love the color and artistry that make this tattoo art by Sasha UnisexΒ so compelling. Using an angular, color-blocked style, the tattoos stand out from so many nondescript yet permanent tattoo art we’ve seen.

We also find her name compelling and fitting for this style, which would look equally good on both men and women. Based in St. Petersburg, her Instagram showcases her most recent work, and her audience, which is approaching a million followers. We imagine her client backlog is significant. Β Via Colossal:

We have always had a soft spot for mid-century modern design, but it’s impossible to get back to that true authenticity except through photos.

We’ve gathered some great interiors of homes in the late 1950s and 1960s, with spaces and colors and decor that really symbolize the era. There’s something beautifully nostalgic about the yellow tinge to these vintage photos, and the mood evoke. Check our much more of this era on our Pinterest page.

Originating as a Western Christian feast day honoring one or two early saints named Valentinus, Valentine’s Day is recognized as a significant cultural, religious, and commercial celebration of romance and romantic love in many regions around the world, although it is not a public holiday in any country. – Wikipedia

Valentine’s Day means a lot of different things to different people, but there’s a certain level of nostalgia about Valentine’s cards being passed around in school that make us smile. This collection of vintage Valentine’s might be before our time, but the sentiment is cute, corny, and nostalgically delicious. Mostly from the 1940’a, note the heavy use of puns throughout the cards, almost like the cornier the pun, the sweeter the sentiment.Β Via The Anastasia Company:

We recently posted about famous British artist Andy Goldsworthy, who works with nature to create beautiful, if fleeting, works of art. We are now aware of another Brit who takes this form of art seriously. James Brunt hails from Yorkshire, and also uses the outdoor world as his canvas, beautifully arranging stones, sticks, leaves and rocks to create mandalas and other works of art that are truly impressive. His use of symmetry and form are great, and the effort and care needed to create such detailed arrangements is what sets his art apart from the casual beach wanderer, who might make a simple stone collection on the sand.

We’ve loved the iconic look of Minji Moon’s illustrated faces for years. Excellent graphical style, yet so clean and simple. Her latest project is called 30 Under 30, and lets visitors to her exhibit customize individuals using touchscreens that celebrate young entrepreneurs. Really fun work.Β Via Behance:

Paris will host the 2024 Olympic Games, and they’ve just released a stylish and unusually feminine logo for the big summer event. It is made up of, according to their branding:

three simple yet powerful symbols: the gold medal, a symbol of sport; the flame, an icon of the Olympic and Paralympic Movement; and Marianne, a symbol of France.

We applaud the design for being uniquely French and stylish, while incorporating the Art Deco feel along with a historical bent.

Eiko Ojala is supremely confident with paper art and minimalism, able to convey emotion and depth with simple shapes and form. “I Found My Silence” is a beautiful example of that, utilizing charcoal tones with a warm orange, and themes of solitude and contemplation. Beautiful work, via Behance:

We love these geometric, minimal collages by Marcos Guinoza, bringing a surrealist sensibility to his prolific body of work. The Brazilian artist references classic graphic design and print layout in his work, but breaks boundaries into the realm of the abstract and surreal. Check our more of his work on Instagram:
