Ever noticed how artists and designers hold up their work in front of them when having it photographed? Primarily as a way to show it displayed, but also to show scale. Well, now there’s a more permanent hanging solution that mimics that and it’s called Handvas. Handvas are 3D printed hands that attach to the wall to hold up your prints and posters in a more creative way than tape or thumbtacks.

On the latest Behance Portfolio Reviews organized by Designcollector in Saint-Petersburg, young product designer (that's already a rare profession for Russia) Yaroslav Misonzhnikov shown us the lamp called "Ugol" (eng. "Corner"). "Plain form and performance is combined with unique mode of setting it up on a table, by the way already received a patent. All you need is a table angle and board of a standard thickness. A normal working table is usually from 1 to 2,5 cm thick. The lamp is putting on the angle and rests inclined by it’s weight, then the angle between lamp and the table depends on the thickness of the table itself. Ugol means “corner” In Russian language. The object is projected for recently founded by the designer himself Saint-Petersburg producer Imenno-design. The lamp will be realized in a limited edition and released in Saint-Petersburg and Moscow boutiques and also on-line in Imenno-design brand shop in the web."

"Showing he is as skilled in dressing a room as he is in dressing a body, Rick Owens’ furniture is a pure extension of his standout aesthetic. Taking the same approach to their design as he does his clothes, the results are sculptural pieces that verge on art yet function as furniture. Utilizing a combination of textures from antlers to alabaster, it’s a collection of pure brutalist beauty." via Trendland
