Gallery libby sellers: aldo bakker copper. Designer gifts 2013

Nov 13, 2013

Gallery Libby Sellers was established by the former curator of London’s Design Museum in 2007 to support and promote contemporary design in a gallery context. Commissioning new works and curating a program of evolving selling exhibitions, the gallery has earned a reputation for its critical and concept-led agenda. Recent selling exhibitions have included: The Copper Mirror Series by Hunting & Narud, installations by Anton Alvarez of his Thread Wrapping Machine designs; a solo show of glass designer Paola Petrobelli; a psychogeography-inspired series of works by London-based Clarke & Reilly; the Craftica series of works with FENDI by Italian designers Formafantasma; and the ongoing touring exhibition of the works of legendary British graphic designer Richard Hollis.

These ‘Back to Front’ playing cards are a light hearted redesign of the classic bridge format deck. The face of the card has been pushed onto the normally patterned back, leaving the front blank. Players are so forced to use the cards back to front. Produced in 2007 in an edition of 500 packs: exclusively at [ buysebastianbergne ]

Lady gaga's flying dress concept: Volantis.

Nov 11, 2013

Gaga lands at the Brooklyn Navy Yard in Volantis, a flying dress at a press conference for her artRave party on Sunday 10 November 2013.

“Volantis is essentially a vehicle,” the 27-year-old entertainer told the crowd. “I wanted to make today about something even more important to me. And what that something is the youth of the world.”

Volantis was conceived by Studio XO in Gaga’s TechHaus. It has six booms in a hex formation and is powered by 50 volts of batteries. The dress also has a carbon fiber molded mimic of a fitted couture dress. It’s creative.
