Fruit Prints by Chris Dina
With spring now in bloom, we are reminded of the bounty of fruits the warmer weather brings. What better way to start a Monday than with this vibrant series of prints by New York City-based designer Chris Dina. We have a certain fondness for series (and fruit!), so these pieces, complete with compelling shapes and…
Read MoreFantastic Founders Brewing Menu
Menu design is often not recognized as much as it should be… truly under appreciated. Sure, there are plenty of pedestrian menu designs out there, but we sometimes encounter some great ones that make a lasting impression. Young, Grand Rapids, MI-based designer Scott Schermer designed this fantastic menu for Founders Brewing Co. (which, for some…
Read MoreA Colorful Winter
We are big fans of food art (and organized groupings), as you know, so this is a great find that satisfies on several levels. French photographer Florent Tanet’s series A Colorful Winter explores scale, color and shape through artful arrangements of fruits and vegetables against pastel backdrops. These playful still lifes remind us that spring…
Read MoreCreativity With Food
Malaysian artist/architect Hong Yi (otherwise simply known as Red) likes to play with food (much like Brock Davis and Christopher Boffoli). For her latest project, Creativity With Food, Yi is posting a new photo of her food art every day in March. These creations are excellent, and Yi reminds us that creativity is everywhere: “I…
Read MorePantone Pairings
Minneapolis designer and illustrator David Schwen likes to play with his food. We love Schwen’s Pantone Pairings series, which matches swatches of foods that go together: PB&J, macaroni and cheese, cookies and milk, etc. Reminiscent of work by French art director Emilie Guelpa. Prints available here soon. Via dschwen.com
Read MoreHero Eggs
It’s clear that we love superhero art (and, um, eggs, it should be noted), and there’s a lot of it out there. So when we came across this unique take (also see Helvetica Heroes and Superbugs) by Italian artist Simone Zulli, we had to share. Via Tumblr
Read MorePrecise Produce Photos
No Photoshop here, folks. Though these geometric arrangements of fruits and vegetables feel digitally manipulated, they are the result of crazy meticulous cutting and arranging by Turkish photographer Sakir Gökçebag. The series has a really unique quality… can’t stop looking at them. The unnatural precision is really striking. Via sakirgokcebag.com
Read MoreWhen a Spoon Met Chopsticks
We at Barbour do not fancy ourselves industrial designers, but with a certain fondness for Japanese cuisine, we find this to be an excellent concept. Aptly named “Spoonplus”, it’s a hybrid between chopsticks and a spoon designed by Paris-based designer Aïssa Logerot. Not only can you pinch/pick-up with the chopsticks and scoop with the spoon,…
Read MoreFabulous Food
For this fun series of photos, London-based fashion photographer Linus Morales recreated luxury brand logos using food (and without the use of Photoshop). Featured are Chanel sausage links, Louis Vuitton toast, Fendi fish sticks, and Gucci-branded meat. Not sure if this is some sort of commentary about our relationship with food and fashion, but at…
Read MoreChocolate Artistry
Yes, design can be editable too. We do love all things food, so when we happened upon the work of UK-based chef turned chocolatier Paul Wayne Gregory, we had to share. His award-winning work is apparently not only delicious, but also pretty amazing from an artistic standpoint. He does custom work for corporate and individual…
