The Bee in The Butterfly

The Bee in The Butterfly

During second year at Newcastle College I had opportunity to work with other students and take part in project based on work for a real client. The aim of the project was to transfer existent cafe to a new location in the city centre of Hexham. An idea was to distinguish it from other cafes in city to make it more appealing to clients. Our client was Debra who is easy-going, friendly, and talkative and loves to travel all over the world. Her expectations were to keep the character of the existing cafe but bring in our idea to make it unique, original and functional.

I wanted to create a contemporary style which characterizes organic shapes, recycled furniture and bright colours. I previously had two different ideas which I had linked together to create a final concept more suitable for client needs and low budget. I decided to use existing furniture but change a colour of them. I kept modern style of my previous design but used more neutral colours with radiant elements of decoration to bright up the space. Instead of organic shapes I equip it with plants which bring a bit of nature in and create a domestic and likeable atmosphere.    

  

Bee in the Butterfly- Hexham, pictures from a site visit

Below you will find pictures taken during a visit in Hexham. I think that  Its really tiny space and it was a influential challenge for us to transform this space into unique place likewise creating a domestic atmosphere. This opportunity developed my skills of spacial planing .We had only one week to finalize our work. We were also  working on two projects at the same time what helped me to cleverly organise my time to meet a deadline.    

Cloud lamps by Yu Jordy Fu

London-based designer Yu Jordy Fu has produced a range of hand-cut paper lampshades called Cloud Lamps. The designs are cut freehand from recycled paper, and then folded around a light source. The Cloud Lamps tell stories from a dreams; dreams of nature, of travel, of intimacy. The stories are told three dimensionally, not only in the sense that the paper shades surround the light, but in each form finely cut and lifted from the flat paper. The ‘Cloud Lamp’ is a simple and sustainable way to add intimacy and magic to domestic environment.
