  the deteriorating air quality within crowded living environments and the changing face of the built landscape,has led designer chiu chih to develop ‘voyage on the planet’. the project tackles big questions, focusing on the idea that the world is in a constant state of flux. the subtle mysteriousness of the planet’s unknown future often forces human beings to adapt - and potentially create new equipment just to survive. the design responds to a sense of curiosity towards this ever-changing environment - where old buildings are demolished and new modern ones continue to rise. society and culture modify from one moment to the next, which in some cases chiu chih believes renders people hopeless, while for others it brings about hope and new expectations. the scary nature of this vulnerability is most poignant in the depletion of natural energy resources. ‘voyage on the planet’ brings attention to the sate of the earth, and like new energy that is sought after as a replacement, it raises the question of further exploration and continued survival on the planet.

For all of those who are bored in the office and need a little inspiration,  Jersey born artist Peter Root was feeling the same way and decided to create life to an entire little city of staples – an ephemicropolis!  Hard to believe he spent 40 hours building the installation in the lobby of a building, using solely stacks of staples that were split into various sizes.  No word on how long the installation managed to stay unscathed. 100,000 staples later… finally the result! — Taken from Chicquero

Sylvain Toulouse   |   http://sylvaintoulouse.com

"A designer’s identity needs to look different. I used the distinct frames of my glasses as both icon and logo to evoke myself. New branding stationery starts with radical splinter-free wooden business cards. Add to this several choices of colors and papers… the result is a harmony that reflects my individuality."

Sylvain Toulouse is a passionate designer who has gained international recognition for his designs and logos. Now making Montreal his home, he has worked previously at leading design studios and ad agencies in Ottawa. Sylvain’s extensive skills have also enabled him to act as art director for several design and advertising projects.
