Malene Landgreen

I recently saw a painting of Malene Landgreen's on the cover of a Scandanavian design magazine. She's a contemporary Danish painter who also does installed architectural works. You can see her work from a recent exhibition here. xxxx

Ryue Nishizawa

I've been a bit obsessed with looking at home renovations and architecture as our house is in desperate need of a revamp. Ryue Nishizawa is a Japanese architect I'm in love with. He loves to mix up the indoor and outdoor spaces as much as possible. The top image is his office space, and the other two are residential jobs he's done. He and his partner Kazuyo Sejima will be designing the Serpentine Gallery pavillion which will be open from July to October 2009. I got the above images here, here and here.

Cute dwellings, and cool fonts to download

The top image made me smile because I used to live in a yurt exactly like it, (image via materialicious). And the white cottage/house collaged together by Kilian Schindler is adorable. I found it on a blog called balkon-garten where you can see images of quirky art, craft and plant life.

Also six posts down is a typeface by Jakob Nylund. Now you can download it for free, along with other really nice fonts (above). All you have to do is send him an image of how you used it! So generous. xxxx
