TREND: Årets Farge 2014

Fargerike ved kreativ leder Dagny Thurmann-Hoelseth presenterte igår deres bud på 
Årets farge 2014 for det norske markedet. Veldig inspirerende og godt innhold med 
presentasjoner fra Dagny, Karl Ryberg, Stefan Nilsson, og Will Talylor.  

Årets Farge 2014 er Blågrønt!

For å formidle farger og uttrykk har Fargerike gjort egne versjoner av gamle og nye 
norske desigklassikere. Det er forfriskende å se Fargerike ta norsk design med inn i en 
trendsammenheng hvor vi kan vise hvorfor og hvordan Norge nå seiler opp som den 
viktigste og mest interessante representanten for Det Nye Skandinaviske. 

Fargerike deler opp i tre retninger som de kaller Norsk Sommer, Norsk Nostalgi og Norsk Eklektisk.











Min favoritt er retningen som heter Norsk Eklektisk. 

Fargerike skriver:Det eklektiske er fortsatt viktig i 2014, vi ser påvirkningskraften 
tydelig innen­ for de fleste stilretninger. Lekenheten, viljen til å bryte gamle regler og 
eksperi­menteringen med farger appelerer til mange. Det handler om å følge sin egen magefølelse, 
våge å ta sjanser, og ikke være redd for å feile. Nye og eksperimen­telle fargekombinasjoner gjør interiørene friske og spennende og den litt opprørske holdningen til regler og stilretninger er herlig forfriskende. Alt er lov, og det er din smak som betyr noe, ikke hva alle andre mener. De viktigste nyansene av blågrønt er svært forskjellige, med nesten sorte Akeleie FR1316, den friske Punky Petroleum FR1407, og ikke minst Alice FR1408, som kan fremstå som nesten nøytral på veggen. De sterke og friske støttefargene i paletten gir full mulighet til å leke seg!

ICON: Janelle Monáe


Are we a lost generation or our people?
Add us to equations but they´ll never make us equal
She who writes the movie owns the script and the sequel
So why ain´t the stealing of my rights made illegal?
They keep us underground working hard for the greedy
But when it´s time to pay they turn around and call us needy
My crown too heavy like the Queen Nefertiti
Gimme back my pyramid, I´m trying to free Kansas City
Mixing masterminds like your name Bernie Grudman
Well I´mma keep leading like a young Harriet Tubman

You can take my wings but I´m still gonna fly

And even when you edit me the booty don´t lie
Yeah, I´mma keep sangin´, I´mma keep writing songs
I´m tired of Marvin asking me “What´s Going On?”
March to the streets ´cuz I´m willing and I´m able
Categorize me, I defy every label
And while you´re selling dope, we´re gonne keep selling hope
We riding up now, you gotta deal you gotta cope
Will you be electric sheep? Electric ladies, will you sleep?
Or will you preach?

TODAYS SPECIAL: Lamb tenderloin with zucchini pasta and tomatosauce

I try to only eat organic food and when I found that the wonderful brand Superbra had extended with a new product range of great sauces I was superhappy!
They already have risotto and müsli. The brand has a great logo, a wonderful story and fantastic people. And best of all, everything is organic, supertasty and healthy.

I made lamb tenderloin with zucchini. The innerpart of the zucchini with the seed was scraped out and sauted in butter, the rest was slized thinly and had the water pressed out of it before it was mixed with the Superbra tomatosauce.

Tasted Superbra!

EMILY HILLER: Sculptural design


A friend of mine wrote about this fantastic designer, and her production is worthy more attention. 
Emily Hiller is a London based textile designer, specializing in the traditional technique 
of Macrame, but taking it out of it´s normal context.
After taking a BA in Multimedia Textiles at Loughborough University she went on to do a 
MA in Fashion at Central St Martins College of Arts & Design.
She has since worked on a range of different projects ranging from designing garments for 
London Fashion Week to designing window displays in Topshop.

I love designers and artists that finds their favourite techniques and then are able to lift them 
from their normal range of application into a sculptural world. And Emily Hiller is a great representantative of this.
Very on trend, working with a old craft style but taking it to the next level.

TODAYS DONATION: Skatepark for Ethiopian Kids

As the first project in my Donate Today project I gave 60kr (10USD) to a project to build the first ever skatepark in Ethiopian history. I will donate 10 USD 10 times a month to contribute to share and distribute wealth in the world and to give some love to awesome projects.




























Ethiopia Skate was started by Abenezer Temesgen & Sean Stromsoe in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. 

Here is what they say:
We are in the process of establishing a non-profit organization and have collected an international team of skateboarders and organizers to help promote skateboarding in Ethiopia.
We just want to skate.

We plan to build Ethiopia's first mobile mini halfpipe and move it around the city over the course of 2 weeks. We will teach local kids the basics as they crowd around the ramp. We’ll then put the ramp at accessible location as we build the first ever skatepark in Ethiopian history. We will pass out at least 100 skateboards to youth organizations and local children as well as start manufacturing our own decks. This is only the beginning.
