“Base ‘lights up’ pot-ential through creative reuse.

Base, an award-winning international design firm, announces that its concept packaging design for marijuana cigarettes will be featured in the upcoming issue of PRINT Magazine, on newsstands in mid July. The magazine’s design challenge was simple: “What would a pack of marijuana cigarettes look like after legalization?” In response, Base has come up with a clean and simple design strategy that recycles mass-produced everyday items popularly used by smokers to transport their secret stashes…

Elodie gives her old TV unit a new burst of life. Again:

This is a third life for my TV furniture. At the beginning it was ‘birch’. I transformed it in brown and flashy colors, and some years later I painted it in white and then I put a shiny varnish.
