Designs inspired by Nature

Design i like...

I think this design is very effective.It is shelves designed by Maria Yasko, a Russian designer inspired by nature and its surroundings. Each of the designs seem to be a perfect combination of art and design.these shelves can really add a little but extra in a room without being too overpowering.I think having these shelves in your house would inspire you to keep them neat and tidy unlike normal shelves.These are really awesome i wouldn't mind having these shelves in my room.

Designs i dislike...

I know we supposed to be going green and only use Eco-friendly products but really, making slops with grass  growing in them is ridiculous.I don't think this is a good design, they will be very impracical and hard to maintain.They might be comfy but i cant imagine the thought of constantly having grass beneath my feet and if the grass gets a little wet the slops will slide straight off your feet.I also think they will not sell very well.this design is just too crazy.,,

When i first saw these rings all i could say was "wow" .I couldn't get over how awesome and beautiful they were.They are clearly not to be worn in everyday life but the amount of detail in these are amazing.They are created out of nylon filaments.Nora Fok the designer uses only her hands and a few basic tools to make these incredible pieces.I love how elegant the rings are and the softness created by the nylon.I am completely blown away...wow!

This is a ring i don't particularly like that much.I just feel it is not elegant at all and the overall look seems unfinished.The stones look like they were random stones the designer found somewhere in the garden and he just stuck them onto the ring with no thought.I think the stones are beautiful by themselves but placed together in this way i feel  doesn't show their real beauty.If the designer were to place these stones in a different way in the ring or on separate rings i think they would be a lot more appealing.
