Parquet Table

 

Emma is responsible for finding this number (cheers), an oversized Chevron Parquet table top.

Nendo

Brilliant stuff from Nendo.
"Outlines were the theme of the exhibition. Slight black lines like the traces of sketches drawn in the air made transparent surfaces and volumes appear, which we assigned practical functions. The outlines remained after simplifying paintings of plants and animals. They are condensed expressions of meaning, similar to Japanese calligraphy. The designs gently break the relationship of before and behind, and traverse at times the space between two and three dimensions. Multi-faceted and constantly morphing, they move alternately between the becoming and collapse of form."

Outdoor Table

First ideas for the leg configuration of an upcoming commission, for a outdoor dining table.

Christoph Thetard

Very cool kitchen machine from Christoph Thetard. I am very into cooking, cannot live without fresh coffee, and like saving electricity, so this really appeals to me. It's virtuous usefulness aside, it is just a very beautiful, engineered object. Also, there is just so little to go wrong, and i think you could develop a very strong relationship with this over time. Not something you can say about most kitchen appliances.

 More interesting photography, this time Maaike Anne Stevens.
"In the process of visual perception I try to capture the fraction of a second that precedes the action of categorising..."
I like this idea a lot, the brilliant moments between confusion and knowing. For example, catching a glimpse of a building around a corner is often far more interesting than the building when you see it in its totality. It's the moment your eye and brain are trying to make sense of the information but it's also a moment in which you can imagine and dream. Inventing you own world for a split second.
