Last week Karin Eriksson mentioned Meesters&van der Park
I'm glad she did...I love the Garlic vase.
The vase below is by Mme Raph and Adrien Rovero and dressed up
by Le Laboratoire I found it here.
Things you throw away
I love plastic
It would be grate if they were environmentally friendly, but I don't
think these are.
Covo
Ciacapo teapot and sicamba trivet designed by Tomita Kazuhiko for COVO
On the website of Frame magazine there was a discussion on ornamentation/
decoration. "Will there be an end to all the leaves, birds, flowers"
Nobody had an answer as to when this trend will be over....
But for now I'm still loving these trivets.

This is my last post about Finnish design until I stumble upon something new.

Tila

Pertti Kekarainen.
Tila means something like place, space, room,
state of mind...

I know....everybody has seen this before, but I can't leave these two out
when exploring the Finnish sense of beauty.

This is my favorite art-book by Belgian artist Panamarenko,
he designed it himself and it was published in 2003 by Ludion
ISBN 90 5544 446 4
He was born in 1940 in Antwerp, lived there his whole life
and has now donated his house, the interior is a piece of art on its own, to MUHKA the museum for contemporary art in Antwerp. MUHKA is a wonderful place to visit.
Copenhagen Fashion Week
From 7-11 of February it's Fashion Week in Copenhagen and via this website
