Ofazomi is back from holiday with a sun burn, a pocket full of agates, filthy sneakers and some excellent finds. I’ve missed you, little design-o-centric audience!

Why do so many amazing and multidisciplinary designers hail from Scandinavian countries?

Red Carpet Treatment

Joshua DeMonte creates architectural “jewelry” His pieces are fantastic! How, exactly should they be classified? Art? Fashion? Industrial Design? Personal Architecture? Regardless, wouldn’t you want to work on a project with this mind? His portfolio site is here.

Who is Boey?

One interesting artist.

You can check out more of his work here: iamboey.com. You can buy his, eh-hem, overpriced, work here.

If you liked these you may also enjoy these other artists and designers! Love, Ofazomi
