Art Inspiration for the Weekend Showcase


  

It has been a while since we compiled a mixed bag of art inspiration for our readers, that spans multiple areas and explores numerous themes. So we thought it was about time to re-deliver on that plan and set all of our readers up for the weekend ahead. Which brings us to the fantastic array of artistic pieces that we have assembled for you below.

Together in this one showcase we have paintings, photographs, sculptures and more. All aimed at getting you on that inspired track and running full steam through any creative projects that come your way over the weekend. With no particular focus we hope that the wide reach will allow for any and all to find a little inspiration in this showcase.

Color the World: A Gallery of Pantone Inspiration


  

Ask almost any designer about custom colors and the name that will probably be waiting on the tips of their tongues would be Pantone. Such a rich selection of patented hues rest under the Pantone umbrella, but their reach does not end there. Far from it, in fact. Pantone’s custom color service has given brands the world over the ability to coordinate in style.

Today we are turning that inspirational spotlight towards the wide reach of influence that Pantone has had over designers the world over. Below is a collection of both concepts and fully realized products that have been modeled after and honors the Pantone brand. We hope you find this as inspiring a collection as we do.

The Pantone Hotel

The Pantone Hotel invites you to experience the city of Brussels through a lens of color and a spectrum of comforts. From the moment you arrive, our “hotel of colors� will awaken your senses to an array of delights and playful surprises.

Impeccably designed by Michel Penneman and Olivier Hannaert, The PANTONE Brussels showcases the color of emotion with a distinctive hue on each colorous guest floor. From vivid to subdued, for business or leisure, our unique boutique hotel perfectly suits your savvy palette and colorful imagination.

From a design perspective, The PANTONE Brussels is built on an exceptional use of contrast; a white canvas provides clean space for saturated colors to pop. Guest rooms feature unique photography by esteemed Belgian photographer Victor Levy.

Pantone Universe

Pantone Universe is a design-led collection for the home, the workplace and the road… Accessories and apparel you need and designs you want – and in colors you love, by Pantone, the author of the universal color language.

When Less Means More: Spotlighting Minimalist Photomanipulations


  

Photomanipulations are a breathtaking artform that usually become quite involved and heavily loaded with all of the various images being brought together and molded into one. However, when you scale that back and use the most minimal amount of manipulation to combine two, maybe three, images, it can become increasingly difficult to seamlessly blend them together. The images have to be chosen with even more care.

Today we have a collection that proves the stunning and inspiring ways these minimalist photomanipulations can come together. When less means more, these artists have stepped up to meet this challenge head-on, and they have all produced some awesome work that can sometimes be mistaken for stock photography given the simplistic nature of the pieces. So get inspired through this spotlight of ours.
