Here are some creative projects that inspire me in January 2015. You can see other projects on my Pinterest or on my #GoodToKnow.

#DESIGNPROJECT
Chocolatexture, 2015
Oki Sato
As maison et objet‘s ‘designer of the year’ 2015, Nendo unwraps a sweet chocolate lounge on the occasion of the international fair which takes place twice a year in paris. The spatial design of ‘chocolatetexture’ is defined by a forest of 2000 8mm-thick aluminium pipes which have been painted in chocolate-coloured gradations, to create the feeling of being surrounded by a large rippling molten wave of the delectable goodness. Within, a number of the japanese designer’s known pieces for such companies as cappellini, desalto, emeco, glas italia, moroso and offecct, which have been custom-colored to resemble the sweet treat, furnish the lounge and offer a place for maison et objet visitors to take a rest. via designboom.com

#MUSICVIDEO
SAGE – In Between
Ismael Moumin
For his EP release “In Between”, singer SAGE just revealed the clip of the song “In Between”, directed by Ismael Moumin and produced by Frenzy Paris. Dancers Fanny Sage and Julien Thibault, leaded by Julie Bour, are torn and moved at once in a sensual and fragmented choreography, while the singer is divided in two, like a cut paper sheet.

Norwegian Airlines: The Flag of Flags
Agency M&C Saatchi Stockholm
Norwegian Airlines has 417 routes to 126 destinations. All at low, low prices. Norwegian people are extremely proud of their flag. So are Norwegian Airlines of its origin. Nearly as proud as being named Europeâs Best Low Cost Airline two years in a row. So M&C Saatchi Stockholm used âthe flag of flagsâ to create an ad thatâs unmistakably Norwegian and just that little bit rewarding to read. via bestadsontv.com

#FASHIONFILM
Juicy Couture Spring 2015 Advertising Campaign: Couture Oasis
Director : Tarik Malak & Timothy Douglas
Art Director : Roi Elfassy
Music : Flock of Seagulls – I Ran
Stylist : Carlyne Cerf De Dudzeele
Makeup : Fredrik Stambro
Hair : Ward Stegerhoek
Model : Edita Vilkeviciute
Juicy Couture took its Spring campaign to Palm Springs to create a sun-soaked fantasy. Edita Vilkeviciute stars as the ultimate Juicy-beauty, clad in Carlyn Cerf de Dudzeele-styled body conscious prints and patterns as she poses poolside. The campaign comes to life in directors Tarik Malak and Timothy Douglas, Juicy Couture’s fashion film, utilizing RED camera and GoPro Hero4mixing “retro” and high-tech” methods, resulting in a vibrant range of color with striking shadows and highlight. GoPro Hero4 cameras and drones perfectly capture scenic aerial views. Shot in reverse video sequence, the Juicy girl is featured taking a selfie then hitting the desert road towards a glistening cerulean pool – while in reverse, actions throughout the video paradoxically feel right. Set to the hit track “I Ran,” by new-wave UK band Flock of Seagulls, the Spring 2015 video epitomizes the perfect “Couture Oasis.”
