It took me a few messy years past my teens to really bother with stuff like this, I really couldn't have cared less when I was about 18. A few years on I'm pretty obsessed with stationery and how I can keep it all tidy. I even themed my final campaign at uni around the phrase "A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place", and I'm totally sticking to that. Over the past few months I've been pretty busy, I've not really been thinking about homeware and design as much as I'd like to so yesterday I picked up the latest copy of Wallpaper* magazine to try and get me back up to speed with it all. A few minutes in and I couldn't believe what I'd been missing, it really did inspire me to try and push myself to finish off those design projects that I have neglected.
So I'm getting right back in there on the homeware/accessories trip, I'm starting off with something that everyone could do with. Anything take your fancy then, it's the Kangaroo right?
I love Wallpaper, my friend is amazing at Art as well as actually finding modern design really interesting and for her birthday I bought her a collection of arty things and one of them was a copy of Wallpaper and now she loves it! Come to think of it I don't actually own a stationary tidy any more, though I was convinced I was going to buy the whale one until I looked at the price tag! never mind, might as one of my friends who does Design Tech to have a stab at making me one!
ReplyDeleteFor me it's the Wooden Wale. It's lovely though the kangaoo comes in at a close second.
ReplyDeleteKangaroo is the best!
ReplyDeleteI like the triangles, but the kangaroo is pretty cool too.
ReplyDeleteI want, nay, NEED that crazy kangaroo!
ReplyDeleteneat-o!
ReplyDelete"A Place for Everything and Everything in its Place" I love that! I am pretty rubbish at keeping tidy, end of the week comes and it's all a mess again. I really like the wooden whale, v.clever!
ReplyDeleteHowever much I like the kangaroo, the whale has a place in my heart. Till I saw the price, anyway. I'm a Paperchase girl, love all their notebooks and what little stationery they have. Quick fix, I guess you could say
ReplyDeletei'm a sucker for organizers like these but my things always end up a mess after 24 hours. haha!!
