Today Fabergé’s ‘Big Egg Hunt’ starts in London and lasts for the next 40 days, until Easter. The jewellery brand invited 200 artists, architects, designers and jewellers to decorate each a 2.5ft-high egg shape which are now spread over the entire city. With an app you can you find the hidden eggs, participate in online competitions and win prizes. The eggs themselves can be purchased later at two auctions and are expected to raise £ 2 Million for charity (Elephant Family and Action for Children). Creatives include Diane von Fuerstenberg, Vivienne Westwood, Polly Morgan, Marc Quinn, Sir Ridley Scott and Zandra Rhodes.

Being annoyed by the contradiction of interior design and home electronics ‘People People’ have designed a nice transparent speaker box. As it is one of their aims, it can be indeed integrated into different living styles. Particularly their idea to remove all connection cables and use instead a wifi antenna solves the issue of having ugly cables and connecting problems with other devices. Currently it is just a design study, hopefully production starts soon.

The Danish jewelry brand Georg Jensen has invited the knitting artist Inge Jacobsen to work on eight campaign images by photographer Sebastian Faena. The artist cross-stiches parts of the photographs and teamed up with students of Royal School of Needlework. Together they spent 2,000 hours on cross-stitching the images which will be exhibited at Georg Jensen stores during the upcoming fashion weeks in Copenhagen, New York, and London, before continuing to travel to flagship locations worldwide.
