Apparently the Target product design and development team did not listen to their art teachers growing up because color does not stay inside the lines with this collection – color is everywhere!-- From "Target Designers Give Sneak Peek at the Spring/Summer 2012 Home Collection"

Four slim legs supporting a cube, Small Ghost Buster is the first night table created by Kartell. Starck designed this simple, flexible object which is at home in any corner of the house. Available in a large range of colors, the night table is a play of square corners and gently rounded surfaces. Night table version of the Ghost Buster commode. A little squared cube on four legs, available in completely transparent, colored or matte versions made of plastic. Like its "older brother", Small Ghost Buster also plays with reflections and perspectives created by the alternating of the corners and curves over the entire surface. Starck designed this simple flexible object which is at home in any corner of the house. As one of the best-known contemporary designers in the world, Philippe Starck has placed honesty and integrity at the core of his designs producing quality products with longevity & durability. He seems to understand, better than others our dreams, our desires, our needs, and our responsibility to the future, as well as the overriding need to respect his fellow.

A bright yellow plate in an unusual shape is one way to express yourself and this trend. "Just do something bold—be fearless with your table," says Diane von Furstenberg.

Look for the influence of graffiti showing up in products and packaging. This MAC eye shadow is a fun, very literal translation of street art into cosmetics.

Graffiti is a much misunderstood form of art. It is not art or literature in the conventional sense of the terms, but it is an expression of people's inner feelings, and are therefore just as expressive, and even more raw, than polished works of art.
