Barton Perreira: Spring Summer 2012 Campaign



My Friday post is about Barton Perreira, designer of the ultimate luxurious eyewearline.

This Barton Perreira video is fabulous. In the opening, the model Christina wears one of the new Ribisi frames (which I LOVE) while pulling up in her 61 Austin Healey roadster. 

From there you watch scenes of getting to a destination by avoiding the hassle of having to fly commercial... while wearing some fierce shades of course. 

The campain concept was made Tim Cadiente & Barton Perreira, the music is "Oceans" by Puscifer and the Art Director is Juan Mendez. Enjoy!

Have a breezy day,

Animal Instincts by Lennette Newell


The photographer in light today is the talented Lennette Newell with her ani-human Photography. 

She created a bizarre exhibit featuring naked models being covered with body paint to look just like wild animals. 

Lennette's daring pictures show models posing covered in paint as zebras, elephants, baboons and cheetahs next to their real life counterparts. 

The San Francisco photographer's display, called "Anti-Human" was devised out of Lennette's childhood desire to become one of the animals her father used to treat as a vet. 

Her strikingly colourful set aims to mark the difference between humans and wild animals.


Here with the model Jasmina painted in snakeskin style print while Daisy the 12ft Burmese phython is wrapped around her.



The same model covers herself in a bronzed light brown paint with black spots while sat behind Tango the beautiful cheetah.


One of her eye-catching pictures shows Jasmina painted in black and white next to a zebra, complete with black and white hair to accurately mimmick the majestic animal.



Another image shows another willing model, Kaela, posing in grey and brown paint, with a trunk painted down the centre of her body to replicate the appearance of Susie the African elephant next to her.

Really striking images, don't you think?

Have a breezy day,

The Interior Design of The Green Bistro




My today post is about the extraordinary interior design of the Green Bistro, the Cafe of Lengermann & Trieschmann Department Store in Osnabrück (Germany). It is the stunning realisation of of two architects Jörn Fröhlich and Siddik Erdogan.



Although the main focus for the interior design of the Green Bistro was to promote an organic vibe considering that this cafe clearly offers healthy and eco-friendly meals, I can’t help but get sidetracked by how surreal it looks.


The interior is filled with what appear to be stairs going nowhere and hypnotically undulating ceiling fixtures. They chose the materials as natural as possible. Natural Plywood boards are positioned spaced slats to form furniture and decoration. White chairs and tulip tables are the menu enhancer beauty of the kitchen interior design. The two architects have also taken care of harmonizing food displays, tray shelves, benches and tables with the central structure.



The Green Bistro does really end up with an organic feel. I especially like how harmonized everything is.
