Designers block

One of Opulent Ethics’ main beliefs is that good design and ethical or sustainable design do not have to be mutually exclusive. But when we hit a big old designers block this week we were left floundering for any sort of design. So we thought we would have a look at some of the new, fun and exciting designs which other people are managing to come up with (we are not jealous!).

Opulent Ethics is a fan of the outdoors, flora, fauna and all things wild but this combination of transport and animal left us with a big confused smile on our faces. Sometimes design doesn’t need a reason.

These are possibly not the most wearable of paper dresses (what with the amount of rainfall we get in the UK!) but Amila Hrustic is inspired by tetrahedrons, cubes, octahedrons, dodecahedrons and icosahedrons and applies them to her fashion.

Inspired by a flower opening this elegant structure was designed by Petra Architects for a competition in Dubai. Opulent Ethics love the flow, suggested movement and transparency of this breathtaking building.

Definitely one for the youngsters; these earphones are quirky and fun and will definitely make you look twice. We are not too sure about the sushi earphones but particularly love the bolt version.

And finally, as we head off for our 8^th cup of coffee, which we hope will help us overcome our designers block, how about something fun to drink it from?

That’s all for now….
