Magnusson Fine Wine Identity Program
Design Stockholm Design Lab
Project Partner TEA, Thomas Eriksson Arkitekter

“Stockholm Design Lab has with TEA created a visual identity program and interiors for the facility in Stockholm. The identity, inspired by the world of wine, is based on a philosophy and modern graphic language that clearly differentiates Magnusson Fine Wine from its competition.”

They couldn’t have said it better! I’ve admired this project – in all it’s understated glory – for quite some time now, so it makes sense to finally add it to the SI archives for future reference :) .

Thermal Bath Vals
Photography Hélène Binet
Architecture Peter Zumthor

“For twenty years Hélène Binet has photographed contemporary architecture and co-operated world-wide with the most renowned architects such as David Chipperfield, Zaha Hadid, Coop Himmelblau, Daniel Libeskind, Sauerbruch Hutton and Peter Zumthor.

She expresses the uniqueness of architecture, lets light and shade take effect, seizes walls and openings, corners and curves, to express through the use of her camera a personal point of view.

Hélène Binet has co-operated for over 10 years with Peter Zumthor and photographically recorded and also artistically interpreted all of his buildings.”

Stunning collaboration between two Swiss masters of their respective crafts.
‘Photographs of the work of Peter Zumthor’ will be on show at the Gabrielle Ammann Gallery in Cologne, from September 4, 2009 to November 6, 2009.

Chamber of Commerce and Industry of Slovenia, 1996-1999
Architecture Sadar Vuga Arhitekti

“The Chamber of Commerce and Industry, whose task is to promote the movement and flow of capital in the Republic of Slovenia, is conceived as a “megastore”. Project attempts explicitly to do away with any barriers between the public, semi-public and private features which are all present in this hybrid design.
By retaining the huge public forecourt, the programme along the existing building is verticalized, thus giving it a new façade, designed like boxes piled on top of each other.”

Beautiful, forward-thinking architecture from the late 90′s popularised by a certain book designed by you know who.

Mind Zone, Millennium Dome, London
Design Zaha Hadid

“The ‘Mind Zone’ — one of fourteen individual exhibition spaces within the Millennium Dome — was inspired by the structural complexity of the human mind. It consists of three overlapping volumes, which unfold to create a continuous surface that can be floor wall or ceiling to allow for a fluid perception of space.
As a narrative strategy, the three elements complement the primary mental functions; “input”, “process”, and “output” represented variously through the distortion of perspective, educational exhibits, sculpture, computers, audiovisual installations and interactive elements.”

Who remembers the “failure” that was the Millenium Experience? I certainly do, because I spent a day there and subsequently enjoyed the experience so to speak. It’s just a shame that I wasn’t really into Zaha Hadid at the time because if the exhibition was still running today, I probably would have spent more time looking at exterior of the “Mind Zone” than the interior itself!

Paul Horn Arena, Tübingen
Design Allmann Sattler Wappner Architekten

Last year I can recall saying that I would “feature more architecture” on SI because it’s always good to be inspired by things other than graphic design. 6 months on, I’ve managed to rack up an amazing, “4 posts” under the category of ‘Architecture’ which is pretty shameful if you ask me. So today I’ve finally kept my word and have subsequently saved a treat for all of you out there that enjoy sexy and functional buildings (and I can assume that’s many).

To save you the time here are my other picks from their site:
Audi Terminal Albrechtstrasse, Munich
Depot East, Munich
BASF Service Centre, Ludwigshafen

“Go-Sees Heroo” Photography Studio, Tokyo
Architecture Jun Aoki & Associates
Photography Daici Ano

Amazingly enough the ground floor (pictured above) is a car parking lot for studio users. The grid of fluorescent lights on the ceiling allows an ever-changing appearance of the space during the night. Amazing.

Design UnitedVisualArtists

I’ve featured UVA in the past and I will no doubt feature them again in the future because their work is innovative, sexy and downright inspiring. And they have also updated their site.

Boris Tellegen, aka Delta, is a visual artist who works primarily in the field of graffiti painting. He studied Industrial Design Engineering and emerged with a unique painting style: his abstract lettering resembles isometric plans for high-tech vehicles or architecture from the future.
Not exactly graphic design (although he does do the odd record sleeve), nonetheless, his work is visually stunning.
On a different note, if anyone can identify this cracking DnB tune, feel free to drop me a line.

Despite the fact that United Visual Artists are a collective that specialise in architectural installation, live performance and responsive installation; I felt compelled to feature them on SI because I’m quite literally mesmerised by their work, like a light is to flies as it were ;) There’s just something about vertical lights that I find so damn appealing. Nevertheless, their site is definitely worth checking out.
