Well when I saw this new project i just had to share it with you. I’m such a huge fan of Hine’s work. This piece is a new diorama for “MONSTER Exhibition 2013″ at Shibuya Hikarie8/ in Tokyo and it’s awesome.

It’s a fun little object that doesn’t take itself too seriously. I really love the way it looks as though it’s seconds away from gobbling up your phone if you look the other way.

The logo is fun and approachable and the overall concept of the store is very fun and vibrant. I love the small touches like the beautiful name tags and the moustaches on sticks.

It’s a fantastic response to the somewhat abstract question:

“What if you saw a shoe as a platform for anything?”

What would you do? Check out more of her work over here.

I used to love playing with plasticine as a kid so it’s lovely to see it used in such cool projects.

My favourite I think is the Roller Skate, which actually reminds me a lot of a pair I used to have when I was younger. Take a look at more work by Andrea here.

“We stumbled across the tale of Krampus a few months ago and knew we had to incorporate it into a holiday promotion piece this year. Krampus is a beast-like creature found in the folklore of Alpine countries who punishes misbehaved children during the holiday season.”

Check out more work by Swink over here.

It’s a really fun concept that could be huge – I could even imagine a whole range if different frames and arms in a variety of colours and materials. I have to say though, the child in me especially loves the pop-out plastic frame reminiscent of the model aeroplanes that my Dad used to make.

Take a look at more work by Kaspar here.

She wanted to represent their “fun, natural, and 100% homemade” philosophy in the branding and I think she really pulled it off. The colour palette is great and the illustrations are spot-on.
