Artistic Expression: Gauguin

Leading French Post - Impressionist artist from France with a vast amount of knowledge and experience that later produced into art through different mediums such as: painting, sculpting, print- making, pottery, and writing.

He was one of the first mainstream artist to capture people of a different colour and lifestyle for Europe and the Western world.


Please just take this in:


Paul Gauguin, Te aa no areois (The Seed of the Areoi), 1892, The Museum of Modern Art


The Yellow Christ (Le Christ jaune), 1889, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY



The Midday Nap, (1894)




And one of his most famous pieces:

Spirit of the Dead Watching 1892, Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, NY

His work will make someone question how history was written.

DESIGN NEWS: Sayl by Herman Miller

My pleasure to bring these to the blog!!!

Presenting: Sayl by Herman Miller (manufacturer) & Yves Béhar (designer)
Design Feature: suspension bridge - frame less back, which encourages full range of movement
Inspiration: San Francisco's Golden Bridge (city where the designer is from)


Side Profile

Upholstered Back


Guest Chair





SAYL has 93% recyclable & eco-dematerialized which means they reduced the amount of material needed.


= less cost and smaller carbon footprint


The material is "stretched from the Y-Tower at the back of the chair just as cables are stretched from the towers of a suspension bridge.” Tension is greater wherever bodies need more support: these areas of SAYL are known as “hinge points.”


Love it! New technology for the furniture design world. What will be next!?
