This post is reserved for one of those things that simply blew my mind upon seeing it. Li Hongbo has created various human forms from thousands of pieces of paper for his exhibition “Pure White Paper,” which was held last December at Dominik Mersch Gallery in Australia. As the video indicates, each piece is glued together manually—one by one—to create the entire form. Untouched, they feel quiet and familar. However, as Hongbo demonstrates the flexibility in their craft, they come alive in a completely unexpected and bizarre way. |

It was a daunting task to select just one project from the multidisciplinary designer Michael Vanderbyl that was created within the past year. I do know though that when I enter a space he designed, I enter the very adjectives that reflect Michael himself, together with his design sensibilities—elegant, nuanced, grand and immaculate. His work, much like Michael himself, always manages to combine a minimalist elegance with an ethereal warmth. In all of Michael Vanderbyl’s projects, from print to architecture, you can neither remove one item or add one item, as he crafts the perfect symmetry. Below are descriptions of just a few of the spaces he has created for Teknion in 2012. |

I first saw Pieterjan Gijs and Arnout Van Vaerenbergh’s see-through chapel, titled Reading Between the Lines, in Limburg, Belgium on a news clip. With only a brief glance, it haunted me. The chapel conveyed exactly what I wanted a church to be...what I wanted the world to be...I could live here...in this beautiful building...this wonderful concept...that at first appears as simple lines from a distance...and lets you live in a transparent place with God. |
