A dusting of stars upon dim shores

Just like the millions of other Tumblrs out there, I post images I like and for future reference. I haven't chosen a particular theme but you may notice that I am partial to nature photos. I also avoid posting images of people but you may notice a few scattered around. Wherever possible, please click through to see the original sized image so you can fully appreciate it. Thanks for visiting and follow. :D

Simple but elegant tea case/box but when opened up, an explosion of colour is revealed where each tea bag is a work of art and folding.

“These tea bags created by the principles of origami. While the tea infuses the bird or the shape is gradually expanding.”

Fleur de Cerisier by Andreea Mocanu.
“Pretty little triangular Kleenex boxes… Inspired by the Japanese traditional art of packaging. Once grouped, the small boxes create the cherry blossom in a soothing and elegant gesture.”

T3 by Sarah Dery.
“Inspired by the Rubik’s cube, this set of 27 small boxes is made of one piece of paper with lots of bends. The set offers three types of tea black, red and green. Each small cube is removable and contains a small pocket to infuse.”

Mixtape Table by Jeff Skierka.
“This coffee table is a 12:1 scaled replica of a cassette tape. It is made of reclaimed maple, walnut and lucite. Dimensions are 47.25” x 30” x 5” with a 3/8” plexi top. This is a first prototype and one of a kind table. Future versions will be CNC machined out of high grade plywood with a variety of ply combinations and a glass top. This table has been an obsession of mine for 5 years! It is amazing to finally have it come to fruition. The table is completely reversible (sides A and B).”

Folded by Raw-Edges for Mutina.
“The idea is to reproduce the effect of folded paper on ceramics, an ancient material with so many characters and features, such as the ability to be cast into such unexpected forms and shapes thus it could be elusive and even deceiving. A challenge for Raw-Edges who have already experimented with this very fragile, delicate and thin material. As a visual reference, they were inspired by the old repetitive tile patterns that were very common (and still are) in old apartments in TelAviv from the 50’ and 60’, and which play with color alternation. Raw Edges, original from Israel, have attempted to achieve the repetitiveness and its intrinsic charm through folded lines only.”

Daydream by Tomomi Sayuda.
“The lighting series “Daydream” is made of Japanese hand woven paper. Colourful organic shaped sculptures are inspired by blooming flowers in spring.
Each piece is hand made in London.”
