It consists of very basic colorful shapes and abstract environments. He was noted by Wallpaper magazine last year as one of the architects of the year. His industrial design is okay, but I think his small homes are my favorite. Be sure to check out his floating house. Jonas has a very unique style.

One of the reasons it has become such a solid and reliable purveyor of information, is due to the quality of information posted. And to post an illusion of work as opposed to actual work takes away all criticality. In the case of architecture, I understand. Blueprints are technical and legal documents and don’t convey ambiance or emotion. To show renderings of a wall clock, some decorative pieces that hang and sit as well as of a table lamp is just ridiculous. Not to say that they are not beautiful, they are. It’s irrelevant they don’t exist. They are someone's dream. And this is not the venue for items that are mere ideas or resemble student work.

Don't care if they are renderings or not. They just have to be good (existing or not) products! Love this. Don’t care if they are renderings or not.

Hello this is Morgan, Elizabeth, precisely. I am happy not to see a post on dezeen or a day, if that means filtering out the increasing number of the 2nd life objects. I find it a totally abstract concept to be able to comment on the physical value of such "objects". M.G .

Every product design school applicant has 15 of these sorts of projects in their portfolio. So strange that even the 'photo shoot' with all the lamps etc. are rendered. Weird. In this project, nothing is actually made yet but the colours are chosen? For example that neo-modern, British-style clock comes in "RAL 4010 Telemagenta" while the Jamie Hayon-like lamps above come in, '5002 Utramarine." Que?, the paint chips are tested but the form isn't? I don't mind when Dezeen posts renderings, but please, if so, they should be evocative, atmospheric, and indicative of a rich idea- not something that is consumable, nice, and easily made within current production methods.
