Ponsardin Designs 005

Already 005? Oh yeah, it looks like this series is more appealing than the Cool Videos Galore. However, I'll post later the ninth part of Cool Videos Galore. Meanwhile, find an interesting blog from which I now extract photos...

First I will start with some wallpapers made by a studio from France called Walldesign.

It's time for a hot seat. I mean, a cool chair. Like this one, named Calla and designed by Stefano Giovanonni:

Here's some objects that have one thing in common: floral patterns. Check these out:

mibo

Dauphine - Maquette

Garland light - Tord Boontje/Artecnica

Metal Table - Tord Boontje

Midsummer light - Tord Boontje/Artecnica

Mademoiselle - Philippe Starck/Kartell (yeah, the famous designer)

Looks like a pillow, but don't have any information on it...

Grace Round Platter

Astrid chair

Doroty bag

Ha, ha, ha. A concept study for Microsoft by the designer James Owen. I want one...

Another new bunch of shots with the most awesome carpet ever made - Crochet made by Paola Lenti and designed by Patricia Urquoila and Eliana Gerotto.

The guys from a poland company named MOHODESIGN made some wicked carpets aswell...

Don't know much about this image, but looks stunning...

Some weird products from Moooi, a famous studio lead by Marcel Wanders and recently bought by B&B Italia. Minimalistic and new-classic stuff. So excentric.

Smoke chandelier / Smoke chair - Maarten Baas/Moooi

Light Shade Shade (two versions) - Jurgen Bay/Moooi

Light Shade Shade won several design awards...

July Trow - Studio Job/Moooi

Crochet table - Marcel Wanders/Moooi

Pantheon Trow - Studio Job/Moooi

A chandelier in the new-classic style. Can be found at Phylosyphy.

Bolero - Phylosophy

Bourgie - Ferrucio Laviani/Kartell (famous lamp)

Here's a handful of stripes...

Marcel Wanders & Peter Lute are making a project called Lute Suites. It's a some sort of a hotel, but it's much more weirder than that. Some handsome flats/apartments scattered around Amsterdam, of course, containing furniture by these designers.

Bottoni is a sofa which features in Lute Suites. Here's a photo:

Print - Marcel Wanders/Moroso

Flare - Marcel Wanders/Magis

Antelope - Marcel Wanders/Bisazza (it hasn't a real purpose)

Au revoir, FTM. :)

Great!

First of all, I would like to say 'Congratulations to new GameSpot moderators - DrFish62, MrCHUP0N and our dear Draqq!' then I would have to announce that from now on you will see me posting ONLY (or almost) in this colour. A blue or a purple shade that I picked randomly. Probably, I would change my text color in the future, but for now it stays like this.

Alright then...

Did anyone knew a moderator draft occured yesterday or something like that? I was really surprised when I saw the new moderators and the only thing I said to me is 'Then why I haven't seen any announcement of the new draft on the site?!?'. OK, I wouldn't have thought I was going to win the first draft occured since my registration, I'm still fresh on GameSpot. BUT still I say that I haven't seen any announcement of the new draft that occured...

Still happy for the establishment of the Tainted Divinity Designs union. Hope that BlazingStar's union will be soon a powerful design union in the world of Gamespot.

Yours sincerly,

Ponsardin

EDIT: Oh yeah. I've changed my avatar and my profile image so it fits the new color of my texts...

Mediocre? No way.

Recently, I woke up.

I woke up from a dream in which my alter-ego named Ponsardin registered at Gamespot... And, when he finally made his account, he started boring everyone who had the lack of inspiration of making a contact with him.

Then, I realised that I need to be more special. I ain't just a regular, ordinary, plain guy. When I saw a text on the site, I woke up. I was so boring in the period just after registering at Gamespot, and now I'm more ambitious. I know that I have potential. I practically have something to say.

Whatever...

Just got Copernic Agent

Google doesn't satisfied my apetit for exhaustive searches, so I downloaded the latest version of Copernic Agent (Basic, of course) and I'm already enthusiastic about it. I even would recommend to any of you if you aren't satisfied by the searches engines like Google provides. Copernic Agent uses lots of search engines, except Google...

I should deserve an 'Insomniac' emblem!

Why?

This day is a special day. So many celebrations in the same day, but yesterday I was going to think it's a ordinary day. Our foremaster suggested that we will do both physical activites and classes, but that wasn't conveniable to the class. So, when I got to school this morning, I found out that me and my friend were the only ones there from my class. (Andrei came later.) Plus, there were only three teachers in the whole school!!! We went with our foremaster to play with our physical activities teacher some ping-pong. And I was about to finally learn some ping-pong. Suddenly, some sort of a splinter went into my eyeball, then screamed and tried to get rid of it for about 10 minutes. It was pure torture. After I got rid of that splinter, my left eyeball looked like this:

:lol:

Yeah, I gone home and lay in the bed with my eyes wide shut (?) in order to... Well, my left eyeball now looks shiny, white, as usual...

After these experience, I should get awarded with an 'Insomniac' emblem. :D

News flash: Soon I'll make a site. Want to make one about the greatest music videos of all-time... in my opinion, of course.:P
