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.

Fluorescent Minds

Top Dries van Noten Spring/Summer 2011
Bottom Glowing Arrow

Fluorescent clothes are the next big thing after the plastic raincoat. Trust me. Remember the glow-in-the-dark Helmut Lang trousers? Here you go. Optical light refraction is the only acceptable colour.

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.

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.

Do It Yourself

New long johns. New table. Take a wooden pallet from the street, white paint, steel wheels and throw it all together.

White Tile Fight

Gareth Pugh Spring/Summer 2009 vs. Zanotta Quaderna

I like both. But maybe the desk is a bit more practical. Cause I don't know if Horst could pull off that dress.
