Designer: Ronit Baranga

The Israel based designer, Ronit Baranga, uses clay and porcelain as the main materials for her products, which can best be described as innovative and unusual. Having studied psychology at university, her designs often have an underlying psychological meaning or message.


These plates, when together, form the shape of white roses.





Circuit boards are recycled to create this strange design.





Mini bowls with 'fingers' holding them up.




The use of human fingers in her designs are a reoccuring theme.




Many of Baranga's designs use elegant floral patterns, as well as a clean and consistent colours; this contrasts with the unusual twists she then adds to them.

Lego: more than just a child's toy.

The possibilities are endless with this simple, yet ingenious product, first created in 1949 by The Lego Group, a private company based in Denmark. Since then, it has not only become a childhood favourite for many, but the source of inspiration for a number of artists and designers who have used it to create extraordinary pieces.

From the model of a Rebel X-Wing fighter consisting of 5 million pieces currently holding the world record, to independent artists with, perhaps not quite as ambitious, but just as impressive results.

'Art of the Brick' is a show by the artist Nathan Sawaya, who has created a collection of sculptures out of lego bricks. The show takes place in New York and will take place from the 17th June to 5th January 2014, allowing those wishing to visit with more than enough time to do so. The show has been described as “the world’s biggest and most elaborate display of LEGO art ever and will feature brand-new, never-before-seen pieces by Sawaya.

This quirky product merges together both lego blocks and the average concrete brick, making both an amusing and innovative product that, surprisingly, has not been done before. Designer Andrew Lewicki created these concrete blocks identical to the shape of lego, ensuring that they fit together in the same manner. They are sold in a set of 12 and are 15.7" x 7.75" x 5.5".
