A day without Barbie is not a happy day! So I’m bringing you the Barbie Doll back (we should have a Barbie/day thing, just like the Converse!) Now since I gave you a serious hint as to what’s next, take a look at Chris Jordan’s artistic installation and tell me what you see! (you can [...]

Yesterday we talked about the wonderful, life-full Missoni Aalto chair. And the sun was up, shining upon us, everybody was smiling happily. Today I thought I’d bring you something different. Radically different: Rick Owens furniture! It’s definitely artsy and fancy, in dark manner, pretentiously and snobbishly described as “sleek Darth Vader-meets-Brancusi black-and-white marble lamps” while [...]

Have I already told you I love Missoni? Something about their knitted ways and iconic print makes them more powerful than a thousand LV monograms to me. Naturally, I’m not the only one who thinks their prints are gold! Artek, the founding company of the Aalto Armchair (The Tank chair) designed by Alvar Aalto has [...]

As such, his features are now iconic and the mere sight of this lamp will instantly recall Lagerfeld’s ways. Designed by the French from Samal Design, the Karl Lamp [...]

As you may have noticed, I’m pretty impressed when it comes to photography. Real photography, artistic, artsy. Not the computer-enhanced kind (not the airbrush-tool kind). And as such, you may also recall a special series of photographs taken by Solve Sundsbo a while back under the title “Invitation a la danse”. Now I’m taking my [...]

Whether the following is an authentic fake is beyond the actual point of the story. The haute irony of this “Peinture Noire” seconds the authenticity issue to the actual artsy-ness of it all. Vulgarizing luxury products into wide circulation goods (well, in this case, it’s not like it was bread or the already famous Chanel [...]

Is a magical one! Christina Oh’s magic fingers can recreate a bike using needles and thread! And as fragile and as wonderful as it looks, Christina Oh’s knit work is more fairytale-ish than real. The Bike, the Swing, all it’s missing is one of Julien Martinez dolls to make it all Burton-ish enough to digest. [...]
