jean prouve x simon de pury


hehehe, this chair went away for $23.750 (tax not included) at simon de pury last month… so, i know it’s an original chair by jean prouvé, that it’s the market’s law and so on but still, it was a school cafeteria’s chair originally 😉 by pp.

geoff mcfetridge – recent work





ok, that show is already over for quite a long time now but anyway, loved mister mcfetridge’s work and even if the wild things are things were not my cup of tea, the followings are.
this show took place at the great half gallery ( which is unfortunately a bit chaotic in it’s opening hours…) just mist it, too bad… by pp.

memphis vs. moss



celebrating the 30 years anniversary of cult italian design movement memphis. moss commissioned artist nathan sawaya to recreate sottsass’s iconic memphis work, “carlton“.
it’s in moss window and it’s really nice, using legos makes total sense. great! by pp.

hansen family – trunk & drunk




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.

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

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.
