No matter what you are interested in, designer jewelry is very popular. However jewelry is actually a victim of its own success because when this becomes so popular there is more temptation for people to copy and rip off the jewelry. The more popular the design becomes, the more knock offs are available. This can happen for pretty much any product, including jewelry. The knock offs are usually made quite cheaply and can be of an inferior quality.
Small bouquet – small vase. Large bouquet - large vase. The size and shape of FlowerWave from d-zn is always commensurate with the size of any given flower arrangement. This is because it is composed of a potentially unlimited number of vases that may be added or removed always resulting in the precise form desired.
The user avoids having to store a variety of differently shaped vases each taking up space. Instead, one adjusts the vase to its surroundings. On an elongated table one may want a more rectangular vase, whereas a round table may inspire a more circular form. The color schemes are variable as well.
FlowerWave, incorporating within its visual expression the inspiration of thousand year old Moorish-Moroccan mosaics and related Middle Eastern geometries, is designed by the world renowned designer and architect Knud Holscher

Eero Aarnio has designed for Plan Suomi (Finland) a “piggy bank” called Plan Pastilli which is shaped like his Pastil Chair. Plan Suomi is part of Plan International, a development agency focusing on the well being of children around the world. In addition to the small Plan Pastilli, Aarnio also designed a big Plan Pastilli which can be used in public places for collecting money to help children in need. The Plan Pastilli was presented to the press and public in August 2007 in Helsinki.

Harald Hynell is talented designer from Sweden. He is well known in Scandinavia and over the world for his innovative yet useful objects, the infamous Lap Tray is my personal favourite. We continue our habit to publish interviews with designers from Nordic Countries and here the result of our conversation with Harald:
NDB: Hi, many readers of NDB have seen your works, and these creations are very popular among many lovers of Scandinavian design and architecture, can you describe the creative process, how these beautiful ideas were developed?
HH: I view my creative process like an iterative process. In every iteration I try to focus on one of there aspects of design: style, function or technology. The business aspect is always present, but never the focus of an iteration. Normally, but not always, I start with a functional analysis and then I develop a number of alternative sets of functionality. One or two is chosen and then the style is refined and illustrated using 3D software and models. In the next step a prototype is developed and tested. A here everything would be over if things where easy and simple, but they never are. So the process starts over until I feel that I can’t get any further. Just as life in general…
NDB: Where do you get your inspiration from?
HH:
NDB: Tell us about your favorite work you have done?
HH: The Purse Dog. I’ts a new product that we are launching right now and is a first product of a series of product for women that have the ambition to offer practical things with style. Most practical things look practical, but my experience is that women also want style. The Purse Dog is a purse holder that in my opinion combine function and style in a way that I’m proud of.
NDB: This is a popular question that we ask our favorites. What the top three songs are currently on your playlist?
HH: I looked at my most played list in iTunes and here are the results:
If you are looking for good music I recommend The Hype Machine.
NDB: Can you point to three Scandinavian Architects/Designers which creations you love?
HH:
NDB: Finally Harald, any words of wisdom for our Nordic Design Blog readers?
HH: Do your thing. Do the thing you love and it will be great. An easy thing to say, but It can take some time to find the thing…
NDB: Thank you, Harald, and we wish you inspiration in your creative work!
