I have a serious infatuation with tiles. Especially when they’re as beautiful as these Moroccan made tiles by Popham designs. Colorful handmade cement tiles are beautiful – inspired by their Moroccan surroundings and would enhance any room.

Learn more about the tiles and how they’re made (very cool) here.

London-based artist, Slinkachu adds to his Little People project with this mini installation called “Chicken Tikka Disasta” for a group show.

“The show is in aid of the Bhopal Medical Appeal which aims to raise awareness and provide medical care for people still suffering the after-effects of the calamitous toxic gas leak that blighted the Indian city of Bhopal in 1984 – even today kids are still being born with birth defects and the environment is still affected. My installation is titled ‘Chicken Tikka Disasta’ – and is pretty much the closest most people in England to India and it’s people “ – Slinkachu

Inkling prints are pretty and fun – available on pillows and totes, each design is handmade in the artist, Kiran’s studio in the UK. All prints are on natural linen. See more at her studio site! Great work, Kiran!

Second, I randomly came across an image on FFFFound and traced back the source to Ibraheem Youssef – a designer/director from Toronto! His custom appreciation cards are fantastic and personalized. I instantly found myself drooling over the design, consturction and wishing I got one in the mail myself. Check out some of his other cool stuff here!

“The Hive”, made of lacquered wood, inspired by both the natural shelter built by bees and traditional forms of Arab Andalusian architecture. The storage modules of hexagonal shape overlap so as to draw a landscape in space and become a structuring element around which the user can move.

Designed by Mostapha El Ouhlani, from Morocco. This would be a great element of design and function in any home.

Also from Mostapha El Ouhlani, this clock design made with geometric shapes inspired by the work of zellige, resembling Moroccan tile work. Simple and beautiful – I’d love to watch that clock anytime!
