The relationships between content and form, showing objects without contents, that remain beautiful also just as shapes. A beautiful work by Think Work Observe for the first issue of Up-and-ComingStyle Magazine.

Minimalistic, vegan, coconut, vanilla cubes by Ivania Carpio. Ingredients: agar-agar powder, coconut milk, a vanilla bean, agave nectar (or sugar).

- Prepare the Agar Agar as instructed on the package. But instead of using water, use coconut milk. Bring the coconut milk to a boil, add the powder, the agave nectar and the seeds of the vanilla bean. Stir well and take your pan off the heat.

- Pour the mixture into a container. Let it cool off outside the fridge for a while to give the vanilla seeds a chance to sink to the bottom before the pudding sets. 

- After about an hour in the fridge, cut the agar agar into cubes. If you insert your knife a little diagonally, you'll get slightly inclined cubes with visually more 3D effect.

- Take them out, flip them over to expose the black vanilla speckles and eat!

Loft FOR is located in Brussels. Originally an old industrial building but was converted into a private residence by Adn Architectures with such purity and functional simplicity. Here are a couple of things that tickle my fancy: raw concrete ceiling, terracotta blocks, white and simple. 

Casa V is a vacation home located in Spain. It is a project by Dosis de Arquitectura consists of a stunning multilayered and curved walls with no edges, no color,and no texture. 

It so easy to love this iPhone 5 cover because of my never-ending adoration of concrete. It is designed by Posh Craft, an arts and crafts design firm based in Korea. Each Luna iPhone 5 cover is one of a kind and all are made by hand.

A striking piece of furniture intended to reveal the wood's DNA, to express its deepest nature by attempting to highlight the living fiber it is made of. This half tree, half bench aka 'FallenTree' is no more than a thick plate glass and a carefully carved oak tree. A beautiful creation by a young French designer, Benjamin Graindorge.  

Absolutely gorgeous! Both the packaging and ingredients. Less is not more, it's EVERYTHING. 

Favourite interior spaces! Always minimalist. 

I absolutely adore Ivania Carpio from Love Aesthetics. I like her interpretation of fashion and style but most of all I'm obsessed with her DIYs which are so minimal and sleek, and most of them are white which is a plus point yeay! You probably noticed one of her creations I blogged here. So just a friendly reminder, expect more of the super talented Ivania, here on Deliciously Arty's. 

A lovely all-white studio located in Montreal. 

A simple and cool transparent bag with copper handles. You need two copper tubes, plastic, sewing machine or needle and thread. 

How to:

Take measurements. But first decide how large you want your bag to be. For this diy, it's 40cm (width) x 30cm (height). Cut one large rectangle of 40 cm x 60cm and fold it in half. Don't forget to add a few centimeters for the tubes, so the final measurements of the plastic would be approximately 40cm x 65cm. 

Fold the plastic in half and cut out a square in the middle, where your hand is going to go through. Fold over the four flaps left on the top and sew creating four 'loops' where the tubes will go through. Make sure they are tight enough so that the tubes won't slip out. 

Close the bag with a seam on each side, not making it go all the way up to leave a bit of room to open and close the bag. Put the tubes through the loops and voila!

I really love the philosophy behind these brilliant products. STOP THE WATER WHILE USING ME! aims at raising awareness of water consumption and conservation internationally. They want to make people conscious of just how much water is wasted by simply leaving the tap on when washing ourselves. The entire range contains only natural ingredients without synthetic fragrances, colours or preservatives, and no silicon, paraffin or other petroleum-based raw materials. The products were developed without animal testing and are completely recyclable. 

Simple yet aesthetically beautiful.

This home was built and designed based on the spirit of zen, hence the name Modern Zen Design House, which is located in Tokyo, Japan. It exudes an atmosphere of simplicity and tranquility. According to RCK Design, zen interior is not about living in empty rooms or areas, but about creating true well-being for body and soul. I couldn't agree more.
