If it was up to us, all the best design in the world would be posted within the Parfois Portfolio. But it's not up to us. Stumbling the web we often bump into things worth sharing. The world wide web is so full off great things that will never end up in our portfolio, but which we want the world to see. For this we created our blog. At this moment there are 4 of us blogging on a regular basis. Work, studies and social life makes that there are weeks with a lot of posts, and weeks without. But we'll do our best in bringing you the nicest shit on a acceptable basis.
Patternfoundry.com is an online pattern database. These patterns are made by different designers from all over the world.

A big reason why I’m posting this is my preference for patterns, and I would love to see this website grow. So go and check it out!

Posted this one some time ago, but since it was written in dutch it wasn’t online anymore.
These lounge chairs are made out of old traffic signs hanging above the Belgian Highways. When they are to old, or information changes, they go to the dump. The main material used in these boards is thin polyester. Thin, because it has to let light shine through.
The seats are very strong and can perfectly stay outside because of the strong material.
By using this material in an other context people start thinking about reusing material for other purposes. >> Read more
Next artist to undress: Nick Gentry. Nick Lives in Camden and works in Dalston, East London. I first came across Nick Gentry’s work a couple of months ago. From the moment I saw it, I liked it. The way he not only reuses old media, but also gives it an important place in is work (metal center of a floppy disk as eyes) is something I think is beautiful. Two days ago I decided to make Nick my next victim to undress. As I searched the web there was not to much information I could find. A small about on his website and a lot of images on different blogs. To undress him I needed more, so I wrote him an email with some questions about his work and he was so kind to write me back. Click the read more button for the interview and some more work.
Michael Marcovici is an amazing guy who had an extraordinary life so far. He quit school when he was 17 and started his first own company in the finance field, he sold his first business when he was 23, he started a side business on eBay that eventually became the world’s largest power-selling enterprise on eBay with a turnover of 30 million euro’s a year. U really have to read his biography on his website. His artwork is conceptual and loaded with political and sociological meanings. Also his interests in finances and technology is visible in his works. Interesting guy, worth checking. >> Read more
“Het klokhuis” is the longest running dutch tv show for children. They explain how things work and give information about all kinds of things, from how a computer works to why zebras have stripes. Design agency Kesselskramer got the assignment to make the opening sequence and end sequence. I saw some lectures from Kessels Kramer himself and I have to say, they’re good! I’ll write a post about him next week. In this animation they use 3D printing and they are the first ever to do so. The opening movie is shown above and the end sequence with some pictures of the making of is at read more.
Caroline Benech,¬∞1980,¬†is a young French artist with, in my opinion, a very nice style. I love the way she uses pictures of city skylines and ads a lot of creativity to them. Sometimes its just a detail, in other work she painted the whole city with bight colors. Caroline gave this series the well chosen name: “A living artwork”. While for most of us there just adjusted pictures, Caroline has a lot more to tell about her work. Read on for the complete living city serie, and her inner meaning.
They look like huge installations, but in fact there just large scale photographs of installations in fantasy exhibition spaces. Pseudo Documentation are a serie of photographs made by David DiMichele, he creates this work by first building scale models of exhibition spaces, and producing original artworks in drawing, painting and sculpture mediums. He puts his artworks into the scaled exhibition spaces and then photographs them to create the final artwork. From my opinion it would be extremely nice to walk true his installations, thats why I think its a pity their just photographs. Read on to see David DiMichele’s other “installations”.
