5. Doan Ly (@doan_ly)—floral design

realizing now much my palette is the candy colors of the countryside—buttery yellow walls and pastel blue shutters. school houses used to be painted these colors, dotting the land with happy pastel splashes even when times were tougher. it’s a very nostalgic palette for me

15. Nicole Gibbons (@nicolegibbonsstyle)—interiors

When your TV is literally a work of art I’ve upgraded my TV game with The Frame by @samsungusa - designed to look like a stunning work of art when not in use! You can choose from their art library or upload your own and I chose a favorite pic taken by my sis @kiyagibbons . And now that I’ve got myself a fancy new 4K display, I have a very important question for you... What new shows should I binge watch next?! I just started watching The Chi on Showtime which is brilliant and am also loving Stranger Things on Netflix. If you have ideas for new shows you’re obsessed with, I’d love to hear your suggestions! PS- See more of how I styled The Frame at home on the blog!

20. Dinara Kasko (@dinarakasko)—architectural pastry

Pentagon cake. This was icosahedron that I transformed into a small cake. It was our the very first mould printed on 3d printer for small individual cake. We did it two years ago and it was just the beginning. Composition: chocolate biscuit, crispy layer with tonka beans and hazelnut, confit red currant, mousse with tonka beans and chocolate Valrhona Tanariva . You can buy this mould DinaraKasko.com/shop . Пирожное Пентагон. Это форма икосаэдр, которую мы трансформировали в маленькое пирожное. Два года назад я впервые попробовала напечатать форму для пирожного с помощью 3д принтера и это был мой первый эксперимент. Конечно же сейчас я знаю гораздо больше о принтерах, формах и сделала уже не одну новую форму, но эта запомнится особенно, потому как она была началом☺️ Состав: шоколадный бисквит, хрустящий слой с тонка и фундуком, конфи красная смородина, мусс с бобами тонка и шоколадом Valrhona Tanariva . Форму можно купить dinarakasko.com/shop Кстати, скоро будет очень много новых интересных форм @dinarakasko #chocolate #valrhona #okmycake #pastryinspiration #chocolatejewels #pastryart #cake #cakevideo #kharkov #харьков #gastroart #art #glaze #dinarakasko #chefstalk #pastry #chefsofinstagram #chefs #geometry#design #designmilk #торт #пирожное #cakes#foodporn#icosahedron

23. Jeanne Gang (@studiogang)—architecture

“Starting from the inside out, the design clarifies the organization of the building and extends its presence into MacArthur Park and out to Crescent Lawn. By doing so, the @arkartscenter becomes a vibrant platform for social interaction, education, and appreciation for the arts,” said Jeanne Gang as she revealed our new design earlier this week. #studiogang #aac #buildingexcitement

25. Nina Bruun (@nina_bruun)—interiors, color, and more

As the colour enthusiast I am, I’m happy to once again be working with the Nordic paint company Tikkurila on posting a visual journal about topical colours once every month: #tikkurilacolorjournal. It’s the perfect way for me to visualise my current sources of inspiration from Tikkurila and Beckers color collections. The first of my color journal is about green - one of my absolute favourites! Green: This time a year we’re almost destined to think about spring and all the new things it will bring: life, light, hope and new beginnings. There are many reasons to be inspired by the colour green and the most important ones have to be the nature, environment and the sustainable choices we need to make. Beautiful and strong green can stand on its own but it can also be combined with a lot of other colours. It’s both crazy and calm at the same time and I truly love that. Tikkurila codes: #L370, #M367, #M374 and #M389 Beckers codes: #Smaragd786, #Kolibri766, #AloeVera826 and #Blad834 #tikkurilacolorjournal #Tikkurila #Beckers #SustainableNordicness #collaboration #color #inspiration #interiordesign #green
