Salvador Dali Museum

On January, 11, 2011 at 11:11am the Salvador Dali Museum opened its doors to the public in St. Petersburg, Florida. The amazing looking structure is 68,000 square feet and holds the largest collection of the legendary surrealist painters works. The works are held on the 3rd floor with the massive concrete structure surrounded by two glass atriums that will let in some amazing natural light from the Sunshine State. Architectural design firm HOK did an amazing job, to say the least.

THE NEW W HOTEL: ISLAND OF VIENQUES BY PATRICIA URQUIOLA

Treading through New York City in the cold and snow makes us yearn for warmth. Looking at the new W hotel makes us think we’ve found the perfect place for it. We have all been witness to the explosion of the W Hotels around the world, we’re just glad the glam hospitality company is still putting design first. for the second time, W has hired on famed designer Patricia Urquiola to stylize their latest retreat on the Puerto Rican Island of Vieques. Urquilo dressed the resort in various species of woods all planked together juxtaposed with explosions of feel good colors. Though much of the resort is styled in the designers famous furniture collections, there are new design elements such as lighting made from ropes, mesh screens, and massive decor reaching out from walls.

MERCEDES-BENZ AESTHETICS

from Not Cot

The process and creative imagery that is produced along the path to great products are often quite a work of art… It’s so inspiring to see Mercedes-Benz embracing the process by formalizing sculptures in their process of exploration and discovery. There’s something almost magical when seeing the design process itself shared through these sculptural experiments, especially when they share the sketches and organic inspiration that leads them there. Works of art being displayed along side concept cars and current cars fill you with curiosity and open ended inspiration of what the future may hold. Mercedes Aesthetics No. 2 just debuted at Detroit Auto Show.

I love this quote from Mercedes Head of Design, Gorden Wagener, “Inspiration is the pre-condition for the calm, coherent yet passionately emotional design of our cars. In the interior sculpture Aesthetics No. 2 we have allowed creative fantasy to develop freely without constraints.” Regarding sculpture details, “On a scale of 1.5 to 1 the sculpture measures 18.3 x 6 x 8.5 feet. The finely wrought frame painted in alubeam Liquid Metal is light and strong; the white seating landscapes look like ivory.” Take a look at the inspiration behind and the design process that went into it… as well as the very cool final sculpture!

I think we all need a powerwall, when i first saw this image (in tiny thumbnail form, to be fair!), i thought they were at an aquarium.
