What the FFF?

Founded in 2005 by an ever growing group of young designers and vagabonds eager to collect and share the best design work they came across, FormFiftyFive soon became an international showcase of creative work.

Although the site was doing a great job at sparking creativity, we felt it could, and should, be even bigger and better. So we spent many moons working on a brand new FormFiftyFive, still high in eye (and brain) candy, but with a brand new look and lots of new features that dig even deeper into what’s happening in the design community.

We’ve also added more interactive elements on the site so people can exchange and store ideas more easily, encouraging collaboration and making the site more than just another design blog.

So have a look round, if you see something you love or hate be sure to comment, and drop us a line if there’s a juicy bit of creative gold you’d like to see on here.

Keep it real, the FFF team.

Some might say this a bit of a pointless graffiti project, but i think it’s a great idea. More images of the project here.

  3. Hi, Midas Project is a reflexion about our urban landscape and alll wich involves, making questions about aspect and needs. Are a collection of soft and “golden” interventions, that breaks the diary and normal point of view of the person. Redefine, communicate and gives a solution to a problems between public space and society are my ambitions.

    Thanks

  5. Sorry, but this is nothing new. A lot of other graffiti artists did it in the past with different colours and much more objects. Even cars, washrooms and a tank.

  6. Alfons, nothings new anymore. I’ve also seen this done in a variety of ways. I simply liked how the Midas idea refers to a Greek myth. So at least there’s an idea behind it.
