BEAUTY AND THE BEARD

I know, I know...Beard trends have inundated the internet over the last year. From the fetishizing of #lumbersexual to those full-on and rather bizarre beard bouquets, these crumb catchers have been through a lot, but who says the ladies should have all the fun?! I have to hand it to these dapper dudes for pulling this latest trend off. Move over Nicole Ricci, we're coming for you.

PROJECT CHARISMA :: PACKAGING DESIGN BY BLOW BRANDING STUDIO

Project Charisma by Hong Kong based branding studio Blow in Collaboration with Polytrade Paper.
"...to express the Irresistible charm (of paper) and women..."

"Hilary is cheerful and merry. She is the ray of sunshine because of her blissful and joyful personality", Blow writes. By using color blocking, unexpected color pairing and a hint of metallic, the studio most certainly captures this personality. Modern, refined, and timeless all at the same time, this really is a visual feast to the eyes.

"Aurora is the Northern lights, a beautiful and natural scene in the night sky. She is the symbol of mysterious and fascinating charisma." -Blow

HI STYLE

Today's bit of inspiration comes courtesy of my girl cabbagerose. Sometimes it's just lovely to have a sense of humor and play with our designs...wouldn't you agree? Hello House by Melbourne based firm OOF! Architecture does just that while maintaining a level of sophistication and craftsmanship throughout. 

Simplicity of form and repetition of like elements seems to carry the design inside out and the use of bulbous forms such as the oversized wooden handles below allow the personality to peek out from behind the clean lines and hard edges.
