A Thread for Fine Design

Lectori Salutem Desk by Jeroen Verhoeven

That is really a brilliant piece of conception and workmanship.
Also the website above and on d12dozr's link is well worth the peruse.

As for Pete's tent. I'd love to spend one of those star filled nights in that tent, but being able to see into a tent I occupy wouldn't be that pretty

Beautiful architecture, corresponding photos...

The photos are good for render references too

Beautiful works.
Those curved gluelams are sweet.

Marcus, the couch in the big picture with the curved glulams has tiny subtle puckers at bottom just where you would expect them in the real world. However somebody would have to be a little nuts to model with that much detail in SU. Can you explain what is really going on?

Oh those are real photos, I thought the home fell in the "Fine Design" category (at the risk of stating the obvious, that's the topic of this thread). Links to the articles on Arch Daily are under the photos...

Hand carved tropical gourd lamps...gorgeous!!

Many, many more pics here and here.

I'd love to learn to programmatically generate something like this for 3D printing...maybe some day, gotta brush up on my math skillz first...

Those are beautiful, and reminded me of these Ostrich egg carved lamps.

Nice, I haven't seen those before

We don't usually think of a piece of paper as fine design, but I think this receipt really breaks the mold (or mould )

I lovethe little "NOTES" box

More info here.

The receipt is so well though out. Things just kept popping out at me. Really cool.

These are really very great designs for decorative purposes. I am fond of home decorations and hence very much impressed.

Just discovered the 'I'm Watch'. This is an Android based system that looks very Applelike! I like the design and function! BTW, its Italian design so has a heads start

Even basic Colour version looks is a bit pricey at €249 but if price is no object, advertised models can go up to €11,999 and the sky is the limit after that for 'special' materials.

I must start dropping hints that it would make a good Xmas present
