The Streets Are Watching!!!

Supertouch just posted their latest dispatch from the international urban street art scene. French artist JR traveled to Rio de Janeiro’s famous favela street slums and created a massive art installation by placing huge portraits of local residents on the sides of buildings. Based on some of the close-up shots it looks like JR made this happen by pasting up individual pieces of paper with small photo sections on each of the buildings. Read on to see more pictures of this incredible artwork

Central Park - Wind Gates!

One of the most famous works by one of the most famous large-scale installation artists of our time, The Gates were installed throughout Central Park in New York City and left for park-goers to pass under. Blowing in the wind these dynamic sculptures were forever changing while erected, forming different patterns with each shift in the breeze and change in perspective.

The Duck In The Pond!

Osaka has a "water festival" of sorts right about now. It's a series of events and happenings along the canals and rivers in the city, lasting up until the end of next month I believe. It's long overdue, I think; the city has a large waterfront and lots of waterways but most of it has been treated as something unwanted and ugly. It's traditionally been a part of the industrial infrastructure - a place to transport goods and dump waste - rather than a scenic feature of the city.

But for the past couple of years there's been work to clean up the water, add walkways and promenades and generally open up the water areas to the public rather than hiding them. Seems Osaka is finally coming around to the idea that canals right through the city might be something people will actually appreciate and enjoy. I hope this water event will be come an annual one.

Stretchy Fabric I LOVE IT

This Stretch Fabric is lightweight and semi - transparent, allowing about 75% of the light to pass through. It is very stretchy and can be pulled into many dynamic shapes with nice curves. It can be used to fill an overhead space and is a particularly effective for enclosing an area that has a high ceiling. These event decorations can also be used impressively with other overhead hangings such as the 3D Fish, Inflatable Stars and the double-sided Discs. The fabric is such that lights shining onto and through the material leaves accentuated patterns on the surface. The white stretchy glows under Ultra Violet lighting. We have a range of stock sizes in white available for hiring which have tie off loops already attached, see the table at bottom of page for sizes and prices. Stretch Fabric material can also be purchased off the roll, including wholesale. Stretchy Fabric has been treated to be Fire Retardant and comes with a Fire Certificate. Visual Bliss installation event team can install complex Stretch Fabric Designs for any event.

Take A Loooooooooook!

Sofa By Gordon Guillaumier

FreeFlow is a modular system for contract upholstered seats, designed primarily for large spaces. This Public Spaces Sofa modularity, line and curve, allows maximum flexibility in the waiting areas, dining and relaxation.

The sofa is made by a padded dual-band, a seat and another for backup. Depending on use, these bands may cross each other, allowing to sit face to face or back to back, if placed in the center of a large room. Studied in detail, the triangular section aluminum leg is designed to hide the double leg when the modules are combined side”.

Great sofa design to bring people together in a small space!
