11 – 19 Monument St London, by Make

“This project posed the fascinating challenge of designing a dynamic new office building quite literally within the shadow of one of London’s most notable landmarks. The site lies on the north bank of the Thames near London Bridge, directly opposite the Monument erected to commemorate the Fire of London in 1666.The nine-storey building offers 9,000m² of efficient, open-plan office space and incorporates retail and cafe facilities at ground level. The distinctive asymmetrical plan is determined by the constraints of the site, with the southern elevation curving gently to address the Monument and define an enlarged and newly activated public square at ground level. This elevation is clad in a faceted glazed facade which reflects the Monument to provide a spectacular backdrop to the new public square. The facade also lifts up at ground level to create entrances to the building and to the retail units on the ground floor.The roof is landscaped as a green terrace to create a striking fifth elevation which is overlooked from the top of the Monument, with the pillar structure’s shadow acting as the gnomon for a sundial set into the roof.”

Stickpecker, By MicroWorks

“In Japan there is a “my chopsticks” movement because the wooden disposable chopsticks are a waste of resources. But people miss the feeling when they pull them apart. That is ritual is the starting sign of the meal. “Stickpecker” is a solution for that. The Magnet resembles the feeling of pulling apart wooden chopsticks. Also the wood pecker and wood design reminds you of a peaceful forest that you are protecting at that very moment. You can say good bye to the wooden ones.”

Estelle Dévé Jewellery

“born in south of france 24 years ago, and now a recent resident of melbourne, estelle dévé has always been interested in jewellery and its different forms of interpretation. self-taught, she is just to launch the fruits of her first chapter in jewellery design. her debut collection: “for j.d, with love and squalor”, serves as homage to the acclaimed j.d salinger, writer of the classic piece of fiction “the catcher in the rye”. using pewter casting of found objects as well as dramatically heavy gold and black metal chains, the collection reinterprets through jewellery design, events and characters of the 1953 book of novels, “for esmé –with love and squalor”. one item of jewellery has been designed for each novel of the book. as an example, the novel “down at the dinghy” tells the story of a mother that only manages to communicate with her young son by pretending that they both are u.s navy officers: the “down at the dinghy” ring is made out of two broken u.s navy rings (a small & a big one) cast together symbolizing both characters and attempts at communication.”

“I don’t like when girls are too perfect. I like a girl with character, who has something real about her. I generally prefer to work with American whenever possible, only because I understand their culture and background more, and I think this is important. I also don’t like it when the pictures become too much about lighting or the clothes” -Jonathan Leder
