Creative Space by Supermachine Studio
I want to share with you such a cool concept that I as a creative, anyone who likes to change up the game, and any one who appreciates interior design can truly get inspired by. Supermachine Studio in Bangkok, Thailand is a group of talented and incredibly imaginative architects who recently designed the interior space of two floors of one of Bangkok University’s new buildings created by the 49 Group /. The Bangkok University Creative Center (BUCC) includes a workshop, library, exhibition space, viewing room and office. The truly remarkable thing about this project is that the BUCC was commissioned by the government as part of their goal to “transform the country’s economy from agricultural and industrial into the creative economy. To encourage creativity, communication and experimentation, the BUCC facility needed to be open, playful, expressive and flexible.” Said TheCoolhunter.net (one of my fav inspirational websites).
This space is not only those things, it is bright, inspiring and INTERACTIVE! Supermachine created a “Lo-Fi Pixel Wall” at the entrance of the building, covering 180 square meters and made with 10,000 custom revolving plastic quadra-fragments. The sides are covered in pink, blue, green and yellow; students can unite each to create color patterns, words, images or any kind of inspirational art, proving the concept of fluid thought translating into things.
The main space for students to work, on computers or just at desks an open “spaceship like pod” that students can further enact the concept of fluidity.
It is amazing that the Bangkok government had commissioned this to the point that they recognize the incredible importance of creative enterprises as a fuel to enhance their economy… Things have really changed since the “great recession” and now even governments have a whole new perspective on what is important. Cheers to YOU, the creatives, the brilliants, the daring and the new thinkers. You have changed our world, so fast, and it is only going to continue with the force of rocket power or as fast as a new generation of iThings will hit the market!
Hope that inspires you!

Daniel Loves… and So do I!
Get ready. I’d like to share something that got me in an effervescent mood and that is Daniel, and his love for objects, furniture, lighting and well, all things interior design. Daniel reminds us that all things – even the ordinary – can be transformed to hold a magical and whimsical new objective.
Introducing Daniel Loves Objects.
Take these gold plated adjustable mannequins turned lamps for instance; I need one of these in my apartment! According to the elusive Singapore based designer, the lamp becomes “a translation of man’s inner thoughts and desires” and might be “controversial, provocative or elegant”. Interesting. Here are the Lighted Mannequins entitled “At Your Command”.
Ever want your own personal genie? Well heres the next best thing – “Ask & You Shall Receive” Lighting.
Or, how about my other favorite “Of Wars & Wits & Power”.
The designer is certainly of Wits with this Powerful image of creativity, imagination and statement.
And I quote (the product description): “Driven by the recent crisis of certain countries who got very uptight over issues of being asked to disarm their missile test launched, their alarming action to remain hostile and persistent in their belief had stirred me to create this part of a furniture combination to depict their behavioral trait, a bookshelf with their golden army, strategically placed underneath, to uphold and to protect their ultimate plans, frozen in time for all to see.” Well that solidifies Daniel’s coolness I must say.
It inspires me so much when young designers not only have guts, passion and talent but they have the courage to maintain a voice. Thank you Daniel for keeping the inspiration alive.
Check out some more fantastic inspiration.. Enjoy!
Incredibly clever for those in shopaholics anonymous. (AKA Me)
A branch bench.. How lovely and chic.
Charming function meets eerie illusiveness. I like.
I’d love to come home to this cheerful and interactive functional art.
I need this above my bed for sure! This creation lives in the world of my perceived future’s methods of practicality. I can see this in forward generation based movies where a Neo-esque character awakes and moves on his way to work. Great Job Daniel in keeping it innovative.
I hope you are inspired!
