SEEING THE LIGHT
a simple beauty, this pendant light that literally hangs from its electrical cord, and uses energy efficient natural sunshine and dimmable t8 fluorescent bulb. from where else but canadian mind and designer, lukas peet, who had done some other interesting mixes of minimalism and natural materials but this one is definitely the highlight (no pun intended). by kl
talkin’ about cabinet de curiosités: krug champagne’s past advertising
anjelica huston’s cabinet de curiosites 
buzz aldrin’s cabinet de curiosites 
david lynch’s cabinet de curiosites 
graydon carter’s cabinet de curiosites 
jean nouvel’s cabinet de curiosites
they say you can tell a person by his most cherished objects, not sure if that’s true but lets go with that for now. the question is, is the notion of le cabinet de curiosités suddenly taking on a sense of relevance today? from thomas erber cabinet at colette in paris to the interview mag coverage of the recent event in new york by thierry despont which some of us attended, to boucherons ellaborate paris vendôme affair and finally to LVMH’s uber luxury champagne krug’s advertising from last year? well if it is, then i suppose that is good news for us object obsessed chaps. what is nice about this campaign is that in a way it reinvents the notion of celebrity advertising by showing a person not for his or her physical appearance but for his or her personal interests. now who on earth wouldn’t pay to not see another lame celebrity face in an ad? the campaign was photographed by thomas lagrange for new york agency ceft and company. by dd

Musical chairs… anyone?
i forever and will always have a place for woodwork in my heart and this piece definitely found a spot in there. created by Kraud this piece entitled “Stuhlhockerbank” will sure spark a conversation or two.
“Stuhlhockerbank is a series of seating for public spaces that approach users and viewers in an extraordinary way. The dividing lines between different types of furniture (chair, stool, bench) are eliminated as the three types blend. The results are immobile constellations that express a person’s inner stance in the particular situation.”
