Self-Taught Designer Builds Mind-Blowing Studio Under a Bridge
It’s like a secret office built in a secret location!
We always appreciate nicely-designed infrastructure or building. We’re easily amazed by their beauty, though we often times forget to appreciate the artist behind them. However, this didn’t stop Fernando Abellanas from pursuing his goal. He wanted to show the world what a self-taught designer can achieve.
The plumber-turned-furniture designer has built a studio beneath a bridge in Valencia, Spain. It’s actually his workplace, which he created in a way that blends with the urban setting.
It’s even complete with facilities and furniture. There’s a desk, a chair, and shelves. One would really think it’s a regular office, only it’s set up in an unusual location. Abellanas, however, wants to maintain the secretiveness of his office. In fact, in order to get there, one would’ve to use a hand crank as a means of transportation.
Here’s what he has to say about the studio:
The project is an ephemeral intervention. It will remain until someone finds it and decides to steal the materials, or the authorities remove it.”
The studio is built in a location that most acrophobes wouldn’t want to pay a visit.
The micro-dwelling somehow reflects the opposite of an idyllic cabin surrounded by trees and flowers.
Abellanas’ work represents an urban setting beautified by rawness and industrial aesthetics.
And what’s even interesting is the fact that he designed and built everything in the studio.
Fernando is widely known as Lebrel, and he is a self-taught designer.
He explained that the studio is inspired by his childhood memories and the experiences he acquired growing.
Abellanas is on a mission to collaborate with various artists and create unorthodox designs.
Some of this personal mementos and works are displayed in the studio, as reported by DesignBoom.
Fernando plans to keep the micro-dwelling as long as he can, or at least until the authorities stop him.
He also hopes to provide production solutions that are raw and out-of-this-world.

26 Illustrations Vividly Show What It’s Like To Suffer Depression
They are beautiful and sad at the same time.
Unlike before, people now are starting to accept depression as a serious mental health issue. This is perhaps due to the growing number of suicides, we hear in the news. Interestingly, an artist who also struggles with said issue found a way to use it to her advantage. Or at least, it is where she gets ideas for her art.
Alice De Ste Croix, or better known as DestinyBlue, is an artist on DeviantArt and she has been posting her work on the platform since 2004. She is widely known for creating vivid and thought-provoking illustrations.
The interesting thing she does with her art is the way she injects emotional stories. Known as “Blue” by her fans, the self-taught artist crafts her masterpieces using Photoshop CS6. Take a dive into DestinyBlue’s imaginations and feel the loneliness she is trying to convey. ...
Getting a tattoo is a big decision to make. In most cases, the process is not even something that can be done overnight. It takes a good amount of patience, research, and guts. After all, it stays on the skin forever. Unless of course if you plan to have it laser-removed, which is a dumb thing to begin with.
We compiled a list of tattoos that are pretty much a reason for regret. In other words, they look quite messed up. And obviously, they are all worth hiding.
They are either spelled incorrectly or the artist just do not know a thing or two about tattooing. Give a look-see and you will definitely cringe. Well, at least, you know exactly what not to do in the future!...
