a visual collective outlet of inspiration
yes, that is a ‘snoopy’ lamp by achille and pier giacomo castiglioni and not a mushroom. yes, that is a vintage dieter rams hi-fi by braun. yes, that is a personal watchmaker’s tool kit by petitpierre sa. and yes, you can satisfy indulgent desire for beauty and precision while satisfying your desire to do good and help humanity in one go at the upcoming sotheby’s red auction. by kl

Paper passion: Wallpapers perfume book by Karl Lagerfeld
paper passion perfume by steidel
purchased at liberty of london
well this looks very familiar! i think pp and kl may remember that…. i was in london few weeks ago and ran into this little lovely. i haven’t even smelled it yet but i guess i am the book lover they were after. the secret cut out book with hidden perfume bottle is beautifully produced by book publisher steidel. karl lagerfeld added a bit of cred but wall paper ruined the party a bit for me. nice still. by uh

Tabula Rasa: Let’s clear our minds a bit
hermes, missoni, burberry, and loro piana may have been your go to places for such gifts but generally speaking you’d have to bring along your first born child as down payment. well there’s a new kid in town and shes got some goods. made with the finest italian yarn, consisting of fine wools gently infused with elastane for a bit of comfort, these travel-size and full-size blankets, pillows and wraps are hand-crafted by british born emily diamandis (the master mind at rag and bone where she founded and still runs the mens and womens sweater department). if you are the cheerful type, the chroma-colors pass even my test, however if you are like me and an enthusiastic fan of gloom and doom then tabula rasa can supply you with a fine share of grey soft as a darkish cloud. can’t wait to get mine. by dd
