Wiener Werkstätte

Top Flower table, Josef Hoffmann (1905)
Bottom Cutlery set, Josef Hoffmann (1903-1904)

Hundred years have passend. We've been so close to perfection. Cultural heights. Forgotten. Artistic and sexual freedom, tolerance, brutality in thoughts, radical sensuality.

Suggestion #9

Noguchi table, 1944

Life wouldn't be complete without a Japanese classic. Black triangular shapes creating the optical illusion of lightness and floatation. And always remember: the joy of giving is priceless.

Suggestion #6

Tribal tattoos

Yes, it's quite obvious but I wish for more tribal tattoos in our society. Especially amongst the intellectual elite. I do admit to enjoy looking at a phenomenon called 'slag tag'. So please, do me the favour.

Bauhaus

Top Raf Simons Fall/Winter 2010
Bottom Rietveld Schröder house

When clothing becomes architecture. And vice versa. In this case, fashion can thoroughly be entitled pure façade. Without regret or any pejorative undertone.

Holistic Triptych

Top Guy Bourdin
Center Massimo & Lella Vignelli
Bottom Thomas Kiesewetter

Guy, Massimo and Thomas unconsciously connected via form and colour. Transmedial concepts that carry a similar notion and degree of expression. Reducing the principles of life to triangle, circle and square.

Lipstick

Isn't this image pairing symptomatic for Lynn & Horst? Traces of lipstick on a boy's shoulder. And a voluptuous lips sofa. I always loved this one. Soft kisses on your behind.

Freaks

Vases Piero Fornasetti

After seeing It at the weekend, I feel attracted to scary faces and grotesque creatures lurking after me. Oh, by the way, there is a clown hiding in your fridge.

Steal

Dear diary, it is February, the 3rd. Discovered some amazing back issues of domus magazine from the early nineties in our office library. Will take them home.

Heavy Gear

Sunglasses Cher De La Cruz x Mauricio Stein

Smooth clean lines opposed to heavy plastic. The exploring of skeletal structures led to the creation of frames that naturally adapt to the wearer's facial physiognomy.

Today our restaurant serves variations of the male nude. Bon appétit.

Paradox

Furniture Maison Martin Margiela

The new Margiela interior range. The used and the useless. Trompe l’œil furniture and smudgy white painted surfaces. Good to know that spray-painting cheap vintage founds is all you need to live the off-white illusion of MMM luxury.

A Lie

Photos Jose Javier Serrano, Mark Marco

Mirror-inverted interior fantasies. The raw and the clean. Opposites attract. And I can assure you, I know what I am talking about.

Carpet Ride

Design Wendy Plomp

Cardboard carpets, I have to say 'I die!'. So unpretentious, decent and adorably unpolished. I love the roughness and imagine it to be perfect in adding industrial coziness to my concrete floor phantasies.

Stimulate

Nice sculptures. Let's build a wood. Let's play.
