Sudafed ” Feeling Woolly Headed” TV Commercial
December 17, 2012 § 1 Comment
Knitted anatomy is becoming a mini-trend! This new advertisement for Sudafed decongestant utilises the charm of a knitted sagittal section through the head. I like the ‘flappy’ conchae after the green wool ‘snot’ has reduced.

A great concept from designer Constantin Bolimond. We’ve seen a few heart wine carafes and glasses, so this is a fantastic wine bottle to go with them.

Jade Dumrath: Heart ring
November 29, 2012 § 1 Comment
Jewellery student Jade Dumrath designed a ring with a contemporary take on an anatomical heart.
“This silver, abstract, heart inspired ring is comfortable and creates a little sound… This Ring assignment was very open. The only requirements were to have at least three solder seams…. I hope to add red and blue resin to coat the insides of the tubes, replicating the red and blue sides of the heart.”
