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.

Bodies Of Decadence

1. Tony Ward by James Armstrong, 1982
2. Mary Katrantzou Spring/Summer 2011

A young Tony Ward's well-defined exterior. And a young Mary Katrantzou's trompe l'œil interior dresses. Pretty surfaces that offer intricate yet delicate insights. Come in and find out.

Renewal

Shelf system String

I am feeling the need for a new shelf system to replace my common example of furniture democracy. As I am a collector of heavy magazines, I am not quite sure yet which kind would suit my needs best? Any suggestions?

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.

Tables

Top Alain Gilles, Big Table for Bonaldo
Bottom Diego Rivera, Table on a Cafe Terrace, 1915

I just love the fact that every element, every shape and every shade is aesthetically connected. The world consists of countless variations of beauty that can be divided into a few basic principles. It only needs something as profane as a table to decode reality.

Fundamental Rule

The golden rule of geometry. A strict and fundamental colour code. Applied to three- and two-dimensional spaces.

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.

Snow

Gaspard Yurkievich Spring/Summer 2009

I hate the never-ending snow. At the same time I feel the strong longing for whiteness. But in the context of summer and boys in shorts and tanks. Golden headbands are allowed.

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.

Welcome II

Genetic stair by Caliper Studio

So this is how I want my apartment to look like. Just for the record.

Welcome

An exclusive view into Horst's world. Today: my Berlin apartment. Can you feel it's beauty and luxury? Interior dreams in purple. What you can't feel though is the amazing artificial smell of furniture and carpet that welcomes you like a chemistry lab. Wonderful.

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.

Invisible Orgasms

Artworks Jon Haddock

The series Internet Sex Photos shows pornography with the people removed. Good, hu?

Let There Be Light

Lamps made by:

I am addicted to nice lighting. Preferably a symbiosis of natural/industrial. I like the contrast of naked cables, organic shapes and skilfully constructed bulps. Definitely nice to have.

The perfect room needs nothing else: White walls and just the things that are really needed.

BUTT Care

Today I bought pink toilet paper so it fits perfectly to my BUTT collection. As in all contexts, it is important to create a cohesive look. And this also applies to the toilet interior.
