a visual collective outlet of inspiration
love the atypical path of gesa hansen who decided to take over her family savoir-faire and added her designer experience to create hansen family. they describe it as: handmade furniture, homegrown wood, new scandinavian design. the bottom line is that they bring a new look and a twist to iconic scandinavian designs. my personal fav is the trunk inspired bar called “drunk” above! love it! by pp
N*ABCDE MAGAZINE – olivier theyskens
before a magazine was n*abcde magazine but that was back in the early 2000’s. olivier theyskens curated issue is charming to look at in retrospective. the design of the actual magazine feels actually a bit dated now but still love the flicks on the top right and the feels. just a meddley of some random nice pages. by pp
the pen is mightier
brilliant, beautiful and cheap! no, not the ideal woman it’s the 98% biodegradable pen with non-toxic ink designed by young new york local, leon ransmeier. leon is a part of the design group rich brilliant willing and even though his breakthrough design was with droog in the netherlands he has more of a japanese sensibility than dutch … ‘‘i’m not interested in conceptual one-liners,’’ he says. ‘‘i want there to be a very clear reason behind everything i do.’’ by kl

lovin’ lanvin – only the future will tell
it’s always tricky to accept that the lines we feel deep deep love for may not deliver when it comes to the apparently cool collab with also lovable h&m.; 1+1 should = 2 but hasn’t always in the past. we will have to wait until november 20th to sort out all of these mixed emotions with lanvin’s turn. in the meantime, enjoy the full collection video. by kl

best made axes – lumbers in tha city
i guess anyone walking to partners and spade, saturday surf shop or any trendy store in the city wondered what the hell is that about to sell axes?!? and i guess i’m not the only one fed up by half the population in nyc fucking around in lumber jack outfits while they never set a foot in any forest but anyway… those axes are really gorgeous. even if i wouldn’t harm a tree for anything in the world, i could really imagine one of these beauty in the corner of my living room. that would be a bit yuppi-ish, aint it? so just for eyes by pp
david hockney – fresh flowers
“hockney began painting flowers in bed just after buying his first iphone in 2009. rendering the simple one- or two-stem arrangements placed in a glass for him each morning by his boyfriend, chef john fitzherbert, the artist experimented with the iphone painting app, its variety of brush techniques, colors, and line densities.
twenty of his closest friends began receiving e-mails with iphone-painted flowers attached, including curator and cultural historian charlie scheips, who immediately saw the potential for an exhibit, especially when the number of hockney iphone-painted flowers (and later, ipad-painted flowers) grew to over 600: “this is a serious component of work, in the context of david’s five-decade career,” says scheips, who curated the show. “these flowers are ‘fresh’ in how new they are, how they’ve been sent, how they’re viewed, and the way they generate light.”
