Flower Gift

November 15, 2008

Obviously a flower bouquet is a gift for any occasions. Flower’s present is always suited to any occasion and any taste though it were elegant flower and plant arrangements or festive flowers with balloons, birthday flowers or a small beautiful bouquet just as reminder of your love. Since olden days fragrance and beauty of flowers had inexplicable influence on a man. People attached great importance to flowers trying to express with it something they could not or didn’t want to say, using flowers like more expressive symbols and gestures to communicate than words.

“A rose by any other name would smell as sweet.” Yes, this exquisite line from one of the world’s most classic pieces of literature “Romeo and Juliet” by William Shakespeare is a bright example of the flower symbolism; a rose is one of nature’s most beautiful creations and the symbol of love of course. By the way, roses are the most popular cut flowers, it means there is still a lot of love in this world and it makes me happy.

Don’t forget to buy flowers to show anyone you’re sentimental about her or him.

Avant-Garde

October 27, 2008

Obviously today everyone has an idea what avant-garde is.
Some of us prefer avant-garde designed wall clocks, some of us furnish rooms with avant-garde designed furniture. Of course, this is well known stream in art and its most outstanding plenipotentiaries are such famous names as Filonov, Kandinski, Malevich, Rodchenko and more. Since the avant-garde was conceived in Russia at the end of the 19th century, the term “avant-garde” have started widely used to define attempts to forge new dimensions to our aesthetic and even political definitions of reality. Now the term ”avant-garde” refers to architects, designers, artists, writers, musicians, whose techniques and ideas are in advance of those generally known or accepted. As regards avant-garde design it has traditionally made up only a small percentage of manufactured goods, yet its influence on the history of design has been enormous.


The Wassily Chair, also known as the Model B3 chair, designed by Marcel Breuer in 1925-26.

For mach of the 20 century avant-garde designers have remained outside the industrial mainstream owing to the limited appeal of their work and it has taken sometimes many years widely held tastes and attitudes to catch up. Marcel Breuer’s pioneering tubular metal furniture from the late 1920-s and early 1930-s, for instance, was not nearly as widely accepted in its own day as it was in the 1960-s and 1970-s.

The work of avant-garde is frequently given the adjective “New” – New Art, Art Nouveau, New wave - to describe its forward-looking agenda.

Barcode

September 22, 2008

The idea of “barcode” has been in the air long time over. Actually it is surrounding us everywhere, at every step literally, independently you like it or not. The iconography of the barcode happens to pop up quite often, and not only in architecture. The iconography seems to begin with the painting of a big barcode on a façade. Then there was AMO that designed a new flag for the European Union that transformed all national flags into a multicolored ‘barcode’. A more abstract version of the image is the Barcode House that MVRDV finished last year in Germany.

So, now we can see the realization of the idea in building. This project was created for St. Petersburg city in Russian by office Vitruvius & Sons. I’m sure you’ve guessed how building is called, that’s right! ‘Shtrikh Kod’what means Barcode exactly. The place is intended for building houses and shops, shops and shops.

“The center is located in a soviet residential area on the bank of the Neva River. Placed in a vast nameless square by the Volodarsky Bridge, formed by gray housing blocks. Vitruvius and Sons liven up this space by introducing a splash of color”, it reads on Mimoa.

History of Fashion. Swimsuits.

July 20, 2008

In fact bikini was designed 60 years ago and no wonder! in France. Why no wonder? Because the early 20th century, practically all high fashion originated in Paris. Fashion magazines from other countries sent editors to the Paris fashion shows. Department stores sent buyers to the Paris shows, where they purchased garments to copy (and openly stole the style lines and trim details of others). But it should be said in all fairness that only thanks to Hollywood movie stars a bikini took special significance and really wide popularity.

By the way, famous Kelly Killoren Bensimon, former model and nowadays chief of some of fashion magazines, published a special The Bikini Book dedicated to swimsuits. This book, full of fantastic photographs and curious historical facts, is one of the best pictoral fashion history books to come out in a long time, also it can be a great gift for everyone who is interested in the theme! When Rird just was going to make a presentation of «le bikini» in one of Paris hotels in 1946, long time he could not find out any Parisian beauty to demonstrate so frank costume then only Michelin Bernardini, the professional stripteaser of one of Parisian club, gave her consent to do it and created by that a real furor.
