Good start // more findings

Did you know us when we were only Peri Meter Design Magazine?

It was an awesome adventure, ended too early or started too early. We were younger, loaded with energy but even if the drive is slower, our interest in design is the same. Maybe one day we'll start it again. For now, we have this design blog Culture Et Cetera. Our brand Éphémère. And so much ideas collided eager to rise.
But if you knew us from this time, we guess that  you already know our cultural pride to see Mauritians designers, photographers,  and illustrators suceed?
Again we are astounded by the talent of Karen Pang, shooting Patyatann { local blasting new band }

Our Fave.

As always the capture of immaterial, the intangible, the light, the time, the vibe is precise, nearly capturing the viewer. Please, log into her facebook page for more treasures.

Today, I discovered Buamai:

A real inspiring storage of photographs, clearly for designers, that we wanted to share with you. Hoping that it might help you.

Another great finding today is interactive Google Doodle honouring  the mathematician physicist Leonhard Euler.

 

Do you remember the doodle exactly two year ago? Let re-discover this pleasantly long doodle about Charlie Chaplin.

Have a great week!

Short // Findings

Did you stumble upon the paper sculpture of Li Hongbo recently on TV or the web?

This amazing artist was formerly an editor and designer, is fascinated by paper, from it's primary connotation to his own interpretation. He created eerie and hypnotizing sculpture out of paper. A playful art. 

But can you guess how was it made? We bet on laser and it is a total fail! Glue and jigsaw! 

Take a look :

Another great finding is this illustration done for L'in. Beautiful linear floral artwork!

Artful // Weekend

The second edition of My Pop Up store is over now! Yet we'll continue the Ephemere adventure! In fact it made us spent so much time in Bagatelle that we've discovered an art exhibition :

Raymond Levantard tentacular colour pop artworks

Armand Gachet textured perspectives

Gabby colour mess

Personally, I do not think that a corridor is the best place to exhibit art. We understand that it aims at make Art closer to the mass but it makes it loses its meaning, the seeking of exhibition. It was only paintings in a corridor. Malls should really invest in exhibition areas. As in a place to help artists and designers and not like a fair trade. Because those paintings were really captivating. Peri and I stayed

 { in the middle of the corridor } for a while, captured by the intensity of some artworks. 

Meanwhile at "Le Salon du Livre" we were astounded by :

Yes! Letterpress! We did not know that " Le Musée de la Photographie " at Port Louis, fosters " Le Musee de l'Imprimerie" and that they have operating machines. Seeing them at work was so impressive.

Sunday sounds like beach day and we've spent ours at Le Morne. On the way back home we noticed those little treasures: 

Happy Monday...

This week // design

Hello!
We hope that you are enjoying a good week and that you've been able to step into the Pop Up Store :
" Bedroom made in Bagatelle ".
It is a major step in design in Mauritius. There was no event promoting Mauritian designers before, no opportunity for young talents without much budget neither was there a international happening like a pop up store!
It is for this reason that Peri, friends and I decided to participate under the name of Ephemere, as it is not only a chance to promote our design but to promote design.
Here are some photographs of the store:

Eager to pop by?

Besides the Pop Up store here in Mauritius, today is the last day of " La Fete du Citron" in Menton, France. For their 80th year they aim big, with a vaudevillesque theme of "Le tour du monde en 80 jours" { Menton, l'escale secrete }.

Their wonderful website

All made up of citrus fruits!
