FAC 51 / The Haçienda

Design | July 27th, 2010

If this were an apartment I would make it my life goal to live here. It almost looks like a Factory Records/Peter Saville design. It’s great that they had a consistent aesthetic going. And good taste too, they’ve got those Alvar Aalto stools.

Furry Objects / Magnhild Disington

Design | July 18th, 2010


These USB flash drives by Magnhild Disington are ridiculous and awesome. Something about the organic nature of the case/necklace makes the idea of carrying around a flash drive a little more natural. I feel like I’ve seen something similar before but it may have been a case of deja vu or I simply forgot that I’ve seen this before. Read an interview.

Kirsten Hermann is living proof of the successful and unique combination of hobby, passion, family and work in the city. Kirsten’s apartment When you enter, you find yourself immediately in a pleasant world of styling, fashion and photography. A large comfortable Berlin apartment filled with life, art and family. On the walls hang works from past exhibitions Kirsten’s gallery for contemporary photography. The apartment is thus partly to the lived gallery and often used for private tours. The stylish interior details of Bless or Andreas Murkudis tell the story of Kirsten’s network in Berlin and Hamburg. Kirsten represents straightforward and clear, and the styling reflects the apartment and the gallery. All this makes each other in the Schröder in Berlin Mitte, where some feel is not going, are located in a specially isolated part of the middle. [Google Translate]

The combination of modern furniture, white walls, wood floors and décor make this apartment a home. It looks like such a comfortable place to be. The little details like the old Helmut Lang shopping bag taped up on her closet door, mirrors stacked against the wall, and mismatched frames solidify that homey look.

This place is fucking gorgeous. I don’t even use that word but it seems fitting. The curves contrasting against 90° angles, light against dark. It all works so well together. I appreciate that they designed the complete package and not just the exterior or interior.
