Illustration - Lotta Nieminen

I love the unique illustration style of Lotta Nieminen. The finnish illustrator is now based in New York as a freelancer and has worked with the likes of Hermes, Volkswagen, The New York Times and Bloomberg to name but a few.

Packaging and Brand Identity - Grounds of Alexandria

The Grounds of Alexandria is absolutely my new favourite place for brunches and lunches in Sydney. 

Along with the food, the decor and the good atmosphere I also noted their branding and logo. The place has a general laid back, lazy sunday morning brunch kind of feel about it and I think that this is reflected well in their brand identity. There may be a bit of a queue but its worth the wait!

Illustration and Painting - Langdon Ltd

Our sofa is already packed out with cushions but this new discovery of mine may lead to a few more cushion purchases! Langdon Ltd is the workmanship of Sisters Phoebe and Delia Langdon. Their range of homewares and ladieswear are a combination of hand drawn and painted graphics inspired by Phoebe's travels and Delia's love of colour. All products are made from silks and cottons and can be purchased from their online store by clicking here. 

Here are some of my picks. 

Packaging & Brand Identity - Mauricio Cardoso for Sweez

Really like this retro branding and packaging for 50's inspired ice cream and sweet shop, Sweez. This project was by Brazilian designer Mauricio Cardoso. 

Retailer - Lagom Design - Gift Wrap

I love Lagom! It's a great website and it also has an online store which sells cool cards, gift wrap and various stationary-type items. These guys are environmentally aware too. Here is a hand picked selection of my favourite gift wraps currently available from their online store - you really wouldn't want to tear your gifts open with these papers.
