"Conceived in collaboration with Warren Du Preez and Nick Thornton Jones for Creative Review’s Annual Creative Awards. The capture side of the project was a one day shoot in Holborn studios London with FBFX Digital scanning, Frank Benhamou styling, Rebecca Louise Law creating floral installations, Raphael Salley on hair direction, and Ninni Nummela on makeup. An original music composition by Salvador Breed and Stijn Van Beek took a couple of weeks, as did the editing by Steve Ackroyd at Final Cut London."

Hotel in a 19th Century Sea Fort

AmaZing Venues has renovated this 19th-century sea fort into a one-of-a-kind luxury hotel, located in the Solent straight of southern England. No Man’s Land Fort was built between 1867 and 1880 in means of defense from a suspected French invasion. The fort is roughly two hours from London and can now be accessed by boat or helicopter.

London Flat of Lebanese Interior Designer Danielle Moudaber

Situated in the most posh layer of London, in a Victorian-style building in South Kensington, the flat of Lebanese Interior Designer Danielle Moudaber is something to dig every corner on the pictures below. The house is an excellent mix of styles ranging from Modern to Classic, Baroque to Rococo and Art Deco, Minimal to Greco-Roman, all merged into a soft and dreamy ensemble by the light blue colour which is omnipresent and renders a light “Mediterranean” touch to all spaces. interior-Danielle-Moudaber1

UP Balloon Coffee Table by Duffy London

Duffy London did it again, we mean the table or the epic way they think table should look. Last year it was a glass underwater topography map table, now it is a total way different. The UP Balloon Coffee Table cleverly creates the illusion of a glass tabletop supported by 11 helium balloons. Duffy plans to make only 25 tables and they’re available in red, gold, and silver balloons.

PSYOP for Emerald Paint Collection

Moved by color and motion, Psyop and McKinney bring consumers along an epic journey of exploration through bold and beautiful shades from Sherwin Williams’ Emerald Paint Collection. The team looked to fine art for inspiration, drawing from Mark Rothko and Georgia O’Keeffe as inspirations. “What’s important about looking toward these artists in our process is that their art brings to the table another era, another way of thinking about and creating great graphic design,” director Lauren Indovina explains. Thinking differently is just what they did.

Art of Johnny Morant

Young figurative artist Johnny Morant is steadily making a name for himself as an accomplished painter of the built environment and the people within it; "Playing on the border between clarity and suggestion my work prioritises the intuitive application of paint with an aim to capture the viscosity of light and insecurity of form."

Ball Pool in Pearlfisher Office

Ever wonder what every office on the planet needs to have? West London studio Pearlfisher has an answer - "Jump In!" they say. Containing 81,000 balls, the 30-person ball pit is meant to “champion the transformative power of joyful play”, and also support children’s charity organisation Right To Play.

In a global economy that bows to profits, deliverables, and bottom lines, creative play in the workplace is often overlooked and undervalued. Karen Welman, the founding creative partner of Pearlfisher, sees Jump In! as an important way for adults to relax, reenergize, and even work better.

“Jump In! helps to promote the idea that play is also important in the work place,” she asserts “and that actually interspersing play into the working day is good for productivity as well as creativity.”

Dark vs Light

"Light fears Dark. Dark resents Light. Always at odds. Always in conflict. Pushing borders. Losing ground. Never ending. But what is one without the other? The stronger the light, the darker the shadow." London-based design studio Animade released a lovely animation Chronemics
