Round up the Week with a Pop...
of neon, that is!



Neon Spotlight:
Bangkok University Creative Center


Supermachine Studio in Bangkok, Thailand, is a group of four multitasking architects



Supermachine’s latest achievement is the interior design of two floors of one of Bangkok University’s new four-storey
buildings that form the new, spectacular Landmark complex, designed by Bangkok-based 49 Group

One of Supermachine’s solutions was the “Lo-Fi pixel wall” at the entrance. They covered a 180 square-meter wall surface
with 10,000 custom-made rotating four-sided plastic pieces. Each piece has a pink, blue, green and yellow side. Students
can rotate each unite and create color patterns, write messages or just experiment with the tactile wall.How cool is that!




This peice is from Yago Hortal, whose work is amazing!



I love this desk by Alexandra Von Furstenberg







This neon satchel is this seasons it bag designed by The Cambridge Satchel Company




Not sure whose these are but they are definitely worth tracking down!




A little goes a long way, so just have fun with color!

For those of you who love strong color, but not loud color, this is for you!

This is the opening of
"We Miss You Magic Land" in Brisbane's Gallery of Modern Art. It is an
installation geared towards kids for the museum's fifth anniversary.
I swear I wanted to immediately board a plane and go to Australia-kids and all!
But, alas, reality set in and I will just dream about the magic!

Anyone else feeling like going to get some candy?

This is the perfect example of using splashes of neon!

Loving Abigal Ahern's use of neon against
a neutral dark grey in her interior design work.

painted letters that can make for a fun and easy DIY project.



Great way to update your old boring wardrobe by simply adding bright paint to the handles.

of making these subtle vibrant accents to your home really pop!
