Do you know the ‘20 Minutes in the Park Effect’? I heard that spending 20 minutes in the park every day, even if you do nothing, will make you feel better. The popularity of the park effect has triggered the ‘park dressing’ craze, which refers to a relaxed, comfortable, romantic and natural way of #dressing. Park wear is more like an #atmosphere. For example, the all white I shared last week is also a type of park wear. Floral pastoral and plaid elements, as classic elements of park style, also appeared one after another in the spring and summer #shows at the beginning of the new year. Enlarged-scale prints of fruits and botanical flowers can also create a relaxed park atmosphere. I noticed that Loewe 24 fall directly #designed the park scene into the #clothes. The popularity of the park effect and park #style both demonstrate a healthy and positive attitude towards life. Are you feeling tired now? How about taking a break in the park? #fabric #exhibition #clothing #yarn #innovation #elements #style #design #team #products #trends #cooperative #fashion #fashionindustry

Poor aesthetic finish 😕 Poor #trowelling not only affects the functionality of the #concrete, but also impairs its aesthetic appearance, resulting in a surface with inconsistencies in texture and colour 🎨 This can be especially problematic in contexts where the visual finish is critical (e.g., #showrooms), compromising not only the structural integrity but also the aesthetic value of the project 🏗️ #concretepolishing #industry #technology #solution #refurbishment #warehouse

To envision bamboo leather requires a leap of imagination. When Natalia Pérez unfurls the ultra-thin, flexible sheet with a crocodile texture made from this plant, people can hardly believe it's of vegetable origin. The material is called Bambuflex® and is the result of years of research and development by this Argentine researcher, founder of the design studio Proyecto Menos es Más ("Less is More Project").  "I fell in love with the plant because it had so many virtues," Natalia recalls, "Where others saw a cane or a reed, I saw a lot of possibilities."

Quilt about the element of self-respect -'Always a flower in my heart' Flowers for cheerfulness and to honour your own needs, in a way that always stays with you, sustainably! Because there are certain things every person needs to have a happy, healthy life in connection. I created a four-part quilt series about four elements we all need: Self-respect, safety, security, and love. This series is part of the larger exhibition about 'the role of quilting to create a sustainable world for everyone'. I am posting all the works and their stories on my socials. There is also a video about the exhibition you can check on my YouTube! → What is self-respect for you? 'Society's Trash will be Our Treasure' Materials: curtains, various fabrics, ties, furniture fabric, scraps, shirts, bedding, fleece blanket Pattern: 'Always a flower in my heart' by Rianne Doller (2023) Quilter: Rianne Doller #sustainablequilter #textileart #quilting #quiltdesign #quiltartist #circularart

Spring 🌸🌿 The season of rebirth, renewal, and regrowth. The same sensations botanical and floral patterns in design often aim to fabricate. From delicate blooms to lush foliage, these timeless motifs have long captivated artists and designers, evoking a sense of novelty and tranquility. In #branding and #packagingdesign, botanical and floral themes serve as powerful visual tools, imparting freshness, elegance, and a connection to the natural world. The use of floral and botanical patterns offers a myriad of benefits. The instant visual appeal might be the strongest. Beyond tapping into our innate love for nature, they often create an emotional connection with consumers. Versatility and timelessness are also key factors. Evoking feelings of warmth, nostalgia, and well-being, these natural elements can help foster a sense of trust and loyalty towards the brand.

Talofa. (Hello) Okay, we get it - real plants can be a bit high maintenance. But there's just something about a perfectly placed fiddle leaf fig that screams "I have my life together" (even if we're secretly watering it with carbonated water because we forgot again). Here's the thing - creating a beautiful home shouldn't feel like a chore! My "Your Unique Design Personality" course helps you discover your design personality, so you can choose décor that reflects your style and is actually manageable for your lifestyle. (Psst...there's a whole module on knowing your deep-rooted needs and unconscious desires!) ✨ Take a piece of my heart with you, Kristina P.S. Ever get stuck in a debate about the merits of real vs. artificial plants? Maybe you secretly love the lushness of a fiddle leaf fig, but your partner is all about the zero-maintenance vibe of plastic palms? Share your funny stories (and maybe some tips for keeping those real plants alive!) in the comments below!👇 #FakePlants #PlantLife #CreatingDesignClarity 😉 Have an awesome day! 😊

Form follows function is one of the principles of industrial design from the late 19th century.  Leading from our industrial design legacy, we at Ohrna design products of utility. We then integrate (languishing) crafts with it, and apply our inherent aesthetics to it. And keeping to ‘all-sustainable’ as our dictum, always.  Here the functionality of our newest product innovation, a jewelry pouch is being studied first before we explore its form and thereafter will we explore its appearance.  #ohrnahandmade #ruralempowerment #womenempowerment#womenofinstagram #instagram #instagood #handmade#organic #artisan #handcrafted #traditional #preserve#sustainable #empower #design #designforacause#socialdesign #designthinking #sustainablelifestyle #design

"Aesthetics is not a luxury, but a universal human desire. Human beings do not wait until they have full stomachs and a roof that doesn't leak. They do not pursue aesthetic needs only when basic needs have been satisfied...people enrich the look and feel of their lives through ritual, personal adornment and decorated objects." Virginia Postrel The NEED for aesthetic experiences is hard-wired in our DNA. We don't have a choice. We have lived throughout the millennia because beauty and aesthetics helped us survive. By creating beauty in design, designers provide a fundamental need in life. Scienceindesign.com #design #interiordesign #biophilicdesign #fractal #scienceindesignofficial #neuroaestethics #biophilia
