The King of Pop is the latest project by ooo my design. The work is a tribute to our king of pop, the great artist who always carried a child within. Set of three ceramic sculptures representing the three major periods of the MJ (Michael Jackson) in the form of removable matryoshka doll.

MJ has always been a star and victim of its own popularity, which over the years was hiding his true nature and becoming more artificial. A child with great charisma, cheerful image and a spectacular voice. A young theatrical man that created the first video clips of high production values and marked a turning point in the history of music and dance. Finally, a pale, eccentric artist who kept adding to his face layers and layers of makeup. This project pays a tribute to MJ remembering three of the main phases of man with a thousand skins.

New Book: Grand Stand 3 – Design for Trade Fair Stands

Posted: 20 Mar 2011 12:39 AM PDT

Following in the steps of Grand Stand and Grand Stand 2, the latest publication in this series, Grand Stand 3, brings readers up to date on current developments in the fast-paced world of stand design. The design of trade-fair stands has become increasingly important to exhibiting organisations, and today's designers are playing an essential role in integrating brand identity into fascinating corporate presentations. The scenographic design of space and the creation of a stimulating atmosphere are crucial in shaping human experience.

Covering 512 pages, the book encompasses 145 remarkable trade-fair environments from around the world – successful designs ranging from small booths to multi-level structures, all of which have grabbed the attention of visitors to major commercial events within the past three years. Featured stands include those by Atelier Markgraph, D'art Design, nendo, Patricia Urquiola, Stefan Zwicky and UNStudio, and presented brands such as Audi, Diesel, HSBC, Nike, Mercedes-Benz, Reebok, Samsung, Sony, and many more.

Grand Stand 3 is divided into nine categories: Apparel, Architectural Products, Consumer Products, Electronics, Interior Products, Lighting, Mobility, Services and Shoes & Accessories. Each stand is presented by a description of the design, project credits, photography and a designer profile. Floor plans, sections, sketches, detail drawings, renderings and construction photos explain the design processes from concept to execution. Completing the book is an index that provides contact details of architects, design studios, brand agencies and stand builders, making Grand Stand 3 an indispensable source of information as well as inspiration.
