Parisian Pablo Reinoso is a true connoisseur of good furniture. The future designer created his first chair at the age of six. Over the years, the passion has not faded away. On the contrary, having received an education in architecture, Reinoso made a real fetish out of this piece of furniture, an object to be collected and reproduced in the most outlandish ways
Parents from an early age instill in their children a negative attitude towards weapons, convincing them that they bring destruction, grief, pain and death, and can also be dangerous both for the one who uses them and for the one who is on the other side. And this position is the only correct one, many will agree, but not the British designer Magnus Gjoen. As part of his creative hobby, he creates very unusual art objects that rehabilitate weapons in the eyes of the people
It is not so easy to create an interesting clock, because a lot of them have recently been invented, and this can be said about both wrist and floor clocks, and wall clocks, and any others. But the designers manage to make an art object out of watches too

Teeth are our wealth, because the prices for prosthetics bite, and their grip is iron, or rather metal-ceramic. You have to not forget about the toothbrush and related products, and creative dental advertising now and then refreshes the memory and broadens the horizons.

Stop complaining about advertising and the fact that it has filled the entire information space, crawling even into those areas where the creator's foot has never gone before.

In today's review - a selection of creative ads decorating elevator doors in a variety of organizations

The one who sows a cough will reap major troubles, seemingly not at all associated with a cold, but threatening the health and even life of a person. A funny ad for cough medicine offers a look at three situations in which the characters would like to slip away unnoticed. But, as usual, the damned cough betrays the poor fellows with their heads. Scenes in the museum, in the cannibals' den and in the boudoir will convince anyone of the need to treat colds at an early stage, the authors of the creative advertising for the medicine are sure
The drama of life is continually complicated by ups and downs. To soften the blows of fate and smooth out its sharp turns is offered by the advertising of the insurance company. Authors of creative posters have built sentences where the first part unexpectedly turns into its own opposite.

Not only in Brazil, parades of payphones are held on the streets of the city, decorating and painting nondescript booths for telephone conversations. This summer, British Telecom launched a similar art project in London called BT Artbox.

Less than half a year left before the 2012 Summer Olympics.

It's lonely in the north … a small bonsai tree, either a cactus, or a violet, or even any other plant that fits into the creative Green Lantern lamp created by Nudelab. But from the outside it all looks like a mysterious island with a tree growing alone on it. In the north, south, east or west. Where will fate bring this cute and useful installation in everyday life?
Since today telephone communication is available in all corners of the globe, it is logical to assume that cell towers of mobile operators should be located almost everywhere. But all around there are only picturesque landscapes, without ugly metal structures visible on the horizon, distorting this beauty. The fact is that installation companies have long learned to disguise cell towers for trees and architectural structures. They are collected by photographer Robert Voit in his photo project New Tree
"It seems that the times are coming when the baby will be born with a left foot in the shape of a pedal." The well-known aphorism of the British producer Christopher Hall perfectly reflects the main thesis of our time: "Life without a car is practically unthinkable." Of course, among the main advantages of iron horses is the complete freedom of action of its owner and the ability to freely travel around the world. This is the idea behind Volvo's new advertising campaign
According to popular belief, dogs are often very similar to their owners. But the artists from the Austrian design studio Grafisches Buro believe that not only for the owners, but also for popular typographic fonts. Proof of this is the Dog as Fonts poster series
Book advertising proves that just the title of a novel or a collection is enough for a creative and intriguing cover. It is worth slightly tilting or moving the letters - and the attributes of this or that work are ready. Sherlock Holmes can use the o and l magnifying glass, and Big Brother can follow us with a high i. A talented book advertisement knows how to portray Moby Dick using the letters y and D and encrypt the Da Vinci Code
Chilean designer Sebastian Errazuriz can be safely called a professional henpecked. True, this is not at all about his weak character, but about his new brainchild - the collection of shoes "12 pairs of shoes for 12 lovers" ("12 Shoes for 12 Lovers")
The Olympic Games in London are competitions that the whole world watches with bated breath. The successes and failures of athletes cause a storm of emotions in the audience, but they sometimes inspire truly creative people to create quite funny projects. One of these is the release of the 2013 calendar featuring the Olympic events. It would seem that this is not surprising, but instead of athletes for gold medals … porpoises compete here
It is naive to think that reality has only one layer - visible to us. Only those people who are afraid to look beyond the generally accepted think so. A person with imagination and a creative vision of the world will see a multi-layered reality even in an ordinary wall of a house. An example of this is the work of the Slovenian artist Miha Artnak, namely, a series of his works called "Layers"
An annual student competition is a good way to make yourself known. But, as usual, if you want to become famous, you need to be mentally prepared to fight without rules. The hand-drawn ad tells the story of the behind-the-scenes struggle for the title of Student of the Year. Scandals, intrigues, small and large nasty things accompany any serious event. However, the audience might not have found out about this if they had not cheered up posters for the student competition
Without the Internet - as without hands: the need to be in touch and work on the Web makes you constantly wonder if there is a Wi-Fi anywhere nearby. And on a long trip, this issue becomes more relevant than ever. Is there Wi-Fi on the train? In the American - there is, proudly announces creative advertising. The emblem of life-giving waves appears here and there, disguising itself now under a mountain echo, now under the light of a lighthouse, now under an owl's wing
Nothing is more important than brushing your teeth on time. God only knows who the sea and man-made monsters have eaten before, but a two-minute break for brushing their teeth will clearly benefit them. And not only to them. While the aggressors are distracted from conquering the world, anyone who does not want to be their next meal can quietly sneak away. But time is short: a hand-drawn advertisement for toothpaste takes 120 seconds for everything
The expression "The whole world is at your feet" is losing its relevance in the era of the Internet: you can't handle the touchscreen with your feet. It's much better to have the world at your fingertips, the original ad hints. Immersion in a foreign culture begins at the fingertips: it is they who are the pioneers who have to grope for the grains of sand from distant countries, and then drag the whole body to these countries, according to the original advertisement of the airline. And beckons with a finger (and not even one) to Beijing and Venice

We are always pleased and touched by products made for children or using baby paraphernalia: children's faces, drawings, cartoon characters and other naive decorations. Therefore, it is not surprising that the "Stomping Calendar", created by Ukrainian designer Yurk Gutsulyak for the HUGGIES company, received a Gold award at the European Design Awards 2009 in its nomination
To scare friends and acquaintances, people create all kinds of things: masks, costumes, makeup. Designers do not shine with originality, but they do their job very efficiently. And if there are people in your family who are afraid to death of bears, you should take this into account
In order to create interesting photographs and drawings, you do not have to be a photographer - we have seen this more than once. Again, all it takes is fantasy

The average morning for the average Englishman begins with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, a cup of coffee and a few toasts, greased with butter, marmalade, jam, or whatever the average British refrigerator is rich in. For someone who is not considered an average Briton, the morning also begins with a slice of toasted bread. But in this case, it is not used for food - they replenish the collection of decorated toasts
It is not often, unfortunately (or fortunately?), That designers and designers touch on the topic of sex. There are not many projects that we see, in one way or another, reflecting intimate relationships. However, we don't think it's worth writing how important this topic is
The habit of men to look at the beautiful legs of some women is annoying, flattering to others, but to others it even pays dividends. A new trend in Japanese marketing is the placement of advertising stickers on … the naked legs of girls just below the exciting mini-skirts. Such an unusual idea belongs to the PR company Absolute Territory PR
