Helena Minginowicz- art
•••
Helena Minginowicz’s recent work speaks to me through its use of paper towels as a painting surface. The texture blurs and softens the imagery, creating surreal scenes that feel both emotive and ephemeral, as though they exist somewhere between memory and disappearance. How might the use of unconventional materials transform not only the appearance of a work, but also the emotions and meanings we attach to it?

STRANDBEEST- Theo Jansen- kinetic sculptures
•••
Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests are kinetic sculptures, towering, skeletal creatures that move with an uncanny, wind-driven grace. They resemble giant, otherworldly animals striding along the Danish shoreline, alive in motion yet entirely engineered. Inspired by these wind walkers, I wonder: how might we design everyday objects that blur the line between engineering and creativity, using mechanics not just to function, but to evoke emotion and wonder?

Fragments- Lake Como Design Festival
•••
The seventh edition of the Lake Como Design Festival theme was: Fragments. The festival invited visitors to reflect on fragmentation not as a sign of rupture, but as a catalyst for creative rebirth, for the preservation of memory, and for a regenerative approach to design. Perhaps this is something to explore through your own creative process! “Fragmentation is everywhere. (...) Yet in a world that tends toward uniformity, fragmentation can also be an act of rebellion, a conscious gesture that challenges conformity and asserts the right to plural forms of expression.” -LORENZO BUTTI, FOUNDER AND ARTISTIC DIRECTOR

Watch Power of Ten. It visualizes your sense of scale and throws the world back at you in sharp, strange angles. It might also make you obsessed with the way design sneaks into everything you thought was normal. Directed by Ray & Charles Eames

The Architecture of Happiness
$23
•••
A thought-provoking exploration of the deep connection between our surroundings and our emotional well-being. One of the most compelling aspects of this book is its ability to bridge the gap between architectural theory and everyday experience. De Botton argues that architecture is not merely about aesthetics or functionality but is deeply intertwined with the pursuit of happiness. What do you think, are they intertwined? I firmly believe that well-designed spaces have the power to make us happier :)
