Reaching new heights

London-based company; Tentsile have quite literally taken the expression – ‘sleeping under the stars’ to another level. Their impressive range of versatile and innovative tree tents have been specifically designed so that they can easily withstand being suspended from trees and can hang up to four feet off the ground. The clever concept combines the comfort and versatility of a hammock with the security of a tent and offers not only far superior views to the conventional tent but also shelter from bugs and other predators too.

I have to say they look pretty damn good too!!

Thailand’s renowned Rangsit University is a university like no other; here, students can study in a beautifully mesmerising campus which incorporates a variety of trees, bushes and plants, all painted in a range of vibrant colours to enliven the atmosphere within the university. This looks like a really cool place to study!

Doh!

Saw this on the net, had a little chuckle to myself and just had to pass it on! Note, this never actually existed – it was just a concept… which makes me a little sad as I think it would have been a really cool way of promoting the movie!

Functional ads!

Posted on January 21, 2014 by lauraf8

In our everyday lives, we are bombarded with numerous amounts of adverts day in and day out, no matter where we go or what we do.

Normally these adverts are the source of much irritation, however, when I came across these really inventive adverts for IBM, I was completely drawn to them and just had to find out more.

The adverts form part of a clever on-street ad campaign which aims to find simple solutions to the everyday problems faced by people living and working in busy cities and combine these solutions with punchy advertising.

The results are very impressive…….

The store is so visually appealing and enticing – there is so much to look at and take in. I love the bright décor and playful layout and the little touches such as displaying flowers in the windows and merchandising product on colourful solid blocks really bring the store to life. Wish I could visit the physical store and see it in person!

Anyone lucky enough to visit the store can win a vacation to Qualia Resort voted the best hotel in the WORLD!! All you have to do is take a photo inside the store and share it on instagram with #tchsummerlovers and #qualia! Ahh – so jealous!

Foiled!

Posted on January 13, 2014 by lauraf8

If stationery had looked as appealing as this back in the day, I would never have nagged my parents for a mobile phone!! Damn it.. too late, now we’re all hooked and this old-fashioned method of communication is all but extinct! When was the last time you received a letter in the post from a friend or relative?

Go on, I dare you – pick up a pen and send a random letter! If you are in need of any encouragement, you just have to look below!

How pretty is this stationery & identity range designed by Mexico based graphic & web design company; Decimal for an events canapé baker in Mexico. Loving the use of foil throughout, it really makes such a simple design stand out.

This Kate Spade pink/foil stationery range is too cute! I would be over the moon to get something like this through the post!! Also loving the little foil details!
