Looking for some inspiration I came to think of the famous surrealist H.R (Hans Rudolf) Giger. He is a Swiss painter, sculptor, designer and interior architect that received an Oscar in 1980 for his creation of the unworldly environments and terrifying life forms in the film classic Alien. I had the opportunity to visit his museum and one of his bars in Chateau St.Germain, a small, medieval village called Gruyeres in Switzerland.
Even though his creations mostly are horrifying extraterrestrial things, which I generally don't appreciate, I am really fascinated by the way he combines creature and machine in his works. Mechanics together with the more natural beings gives his art a clear contrast and a very cool, interesting look.
This is a picture from inside the H.R Giger bar in Gruyeres in Switzerland where you can see more of his furniture and architecture work, which are very fascinating.
