Nature-Inspired of Tabcorp Marquee by Mim Design


My Tuesday post is about one stunning Interior design project realised by the creative firm Mim DesignFor Australia’s 2010 Tabcorp Spring Racing Carnival, the  firm was commissioned for the fourth year in a row to design the marquee for the occasion.


Mim adopted a nature-inspired theme and a truly organic approach, employing motifs that reference trelliswork and trees and keeping furnishings in the event space to a predominantly green palette.

It’s a dazzling standout and needless to say, I am always a wide-eyed fan of Mim’s creation.




Outfitted in a lighthearted manner with furnishings that include Eames chairs, modular sofas and ottomans, simple barstools, cagelike table bases, hanging shades, and mirrored walls, the space evoked a garden pavilion and provided the perfect spot for entertaining at the carnival.





Here is a thoroughly organic touch to the marquee, which is also planted with verdant greenery that brings a hint of the outdoors into the space.

 

The series of mirrored walls also help enhance the abundance of natural light, which is also a key that gives the overall interior a breezy atmosphere.



The ceiling repeats the treelike pattern that is found on the building’s façade, with an abstract design of flowering trees and branches. The building itself exuded a sense of intrigue and mystery while balancing high style with luxurious comforts, which was crucial for the venue.

I hope you enjoy this commercial design as much as I did.

Animal Cereals Bowls - Geraldine De Beco


Would like to eat your cereals out of these bowl each morning? I love them very much. 

These positively stunning bowls were created by the French designer Geraldine De Beco for the porcelain company Bernardaud.



She really created a cool series of ceramic breakfast bowls which have a cute little surprise when filled with liquid. The bowls look really strange while empty, but once you fill them with milk, yogurt or any solid color liquid, the form of an animal magically appears.



You can choose from three different animals: a cat, a wolf or a bird. However, don’t let your kids see these! Pretty amazing, huh? Unfortunately, it costs 240€ a piece! 

They are available through one of Bernardaud’s points of sale. I can’t find these for sale online anywhere.
