Bits & Pieces

1. Paul Mpagi Sepuya
2. Ricky Swallow

An experiment in colour and form. A design study. Of candles and jockstraps, cups and trestles. The comforting beauty of everyday objects, respectively subjects. Yet decorative in any home.

Welcome to my sister's home. Dipped in soft bubble gum and sorbet colours. An ode to the Fifties and Sixties in hues of pink, pistachio and moss green. Op-art surfaces confronted with post-conceptual irony.

Wiener Werkstätte

Top Flower table, Josef Hoffmann (1905)
Bottom Cutlery set, Josef Hoffmann (1903-1904)

Hundred years have passend. We've been so close to perfection. Cultural heights. Forgotten. Artistic and sexual freedom, tolerance, brutality in thoughts, radical sensuality.

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.

Suggestion #6

Tribal tattoos

Yes, it's quite obvious but I wish for more tribal tattoos in our society. Especially amongst the intellectual elite. I do admit to enjoy looking at a phenomenon called 'slag tag'. So please, do me the favour.

Bauhaus

Bottom Rietveld Schröder house

When clothing becomes architecture. And vice versa. In this case, fashion can thoroughly be entitled pure façade. Without regret or any pejorative undertone.

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.

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.

Freaks

Vases Piero Fornasetti

After seeing It at the weekend, I feel attracted to scary faces and grotesque creatures lurking after me. Oh, by the way, there is a clown hiding in your fridge.
