Aurelie Rimbert

Very concise series of 'trunks' by Aurelie Rimbert. There is a lovely openness to these pieces, both in a physical sense, with some of the series being perforated, but also emotionally. Is there anything painted on the canvas?, does the graph paper continue inside?and is there a line anywhere? They implore you to interact. All of these trunks could become in series in their own right, but I would like to think they won't, as the contrasting dimensions hint at more occasional, specific furniture. (Which is a very good thing in a one size fits all world.)

White and Walnut

Its been a while as I have been making this epic wall of wardrobes for an very nice apartment in West London. Everything in this place is scaled up, 4 Metre high ceilings, huge plaster mouldings, decorative friezes, and enormous interior doors. So it gave an opportunity to rework a recent design with more open niches, lighting and detailing. Will post some images when fitted.

Oscar Niemeyer


Oscar Niemeyer, en paz descanse. 

"It is not the right angle that attracts me, nor the straight line, created by man. What attracts me is the free and sensual curve - the curve that I find in the mountains of my country, in the sinuous course of its rivers, in the body of the beloved woman."

Antony Gormley

OUCH! This has got to hurt. Jonathan Jones has obviously seen the new Gormley Exhibition at the White Cube, and he really, really does not like what he has seen. This is a scything, four paragraph demolition of Gormley's career, as a whole. I agree in essence, but specific critical analysis is needed to justify a public hanging like this.
Bob Dylan has made some dreadful records, but they do not detract from the genius of his others.

Kingbird Design


Making a outdoor kitchen is my upcoming spring project, but I just started looking into what is possible, and came across this from Kingbird Design. Amazing.
