Nixon headphones: listening in style


nixon’s first addition to the world of personal acoustics. the line of three models; the wire, the nomadic and the master blaster wont be easy to find. as far as we know these are just prototypes. still, with this kind of well designed beauty it would be a sin not to produce it for the masses and end the white cable trend of the ipod. by kv

caravanserai exhibit


caravanserai’s were beautiful roadside inns for travelers and supported the flow of commerce, information and people across trade routes. some might even say that mail as we know it originates from this persian concept. tom schutyser went on a journey to discover and capture these architectural, historical and cultural phenomenons. the photographs from his travels will be shown in paris from june 18th-26th. if you find yourself in the right place at the right time; go take a look. if not, at least take a journey through tom’s travel log. by kv

can’t wait for robert polidori


i think robert polidori is my all time favorite photographer and i am reminded of this every time i see his work. i am crazy for this new book compiling all of his versailles work, although i don’t know if it’s a reprint or a rework of his first book. of course it’s published by steidl, and of course it’s a treat ($120) but whatever “quand on aime on ne compte pas“ by pp’
