Design Crush: Kirsten Johnston + Zaishu collab

Artist collaborations are always so exciting - seeing the melding of design aesthetics, 
particularly when combining opposites. The hard with the soft etc... and all that 'sum being 
greater than the parts' business ;) 

My latest design crush: Zaishu ply seat/tables with surface artwork of the fabulous Kirsten 
Johnston's knitted creations...



Pieces in process...



Trial panels...



And a little peak at how the final construction comes together...



Don't you just love it? Such a fabulous collaboration :)

Here are a couple of other designs I rather liked too!

‘Banksia’ by Nicola Cerini

‘Indigo Weave’ by Matthew Butler

If you'd like to see more of their work, you can find Kirsten's blog here and Zaishu here.

Artist Crush: Ari Athans

Ari is very well known in Brisbane for her breathtaking jewellery, but she is also an
amazing artist. Her most recent exhibition, Rockheads, is on from the 30th July till 17th 
August... I LOVE it! Have a peek online here, or if you're in Brisbane, you can see them 
in person here. This is not an ad - it's a true artist crush :)
