A great idea by swissmiss and Fictive Kin. TeuxDeux is a intuitive, clean-looking little to-do app. It’s simplistic design gives focus to the content and it looks like an easy app to use. I’m looking forward to giving it whirl and crossing things off my to-do lists! Add “teuxdeux” to blog
Less and more
Another good exhibition to see if you’re in London is “Less and More – the design ethos of dieter rams” at the Design Museum. It “showcases Rams’ landmark designs for Braun and furniture manufacturer Vitsœ, examines how Rams’ design ethos inspired Braun’s entire product range for over 40 years, and assesses his lasting influence on today’s design landscape.”

Yosigo
Since I’ve moved to Spain I’ve been following the work of Spanish photographer Jose Javier Serrano – yosigo. There’s something about his work that captivates me. He creates beauty with emptiness. His work is inviting, mesmerizing even…..it lures you in. He’s a master of subtly and minimalism. His beach shots are breathtaking. His work is definitely worth a look. As well as his website he also has a flickr stream. I’m looking forward to reading his blog and finding out what inspires him.
