Italian Furniture Designer Pietro Russo.
22nd May
Even though my Milan report may be done for the year, I would still like to share with you a few little nuggets of goodness I’ve stashed up my sleeve – like this exquisite work by Milan-based furniture designer Pietro Russo. I met Pietro at the very first event we attended in Milan called JUICE. This is where he exhibited two of his latest products released this year – Piuma table and Voliera circular metal shelf, both of which made me fall in love in an instant…
Thin Black Lines Revisited // Wardrobes & Clothes Racks.
19th April
And so my obsession with thin black lines continues. Much to my delight, I’ve been noticing a number of wardrobes, clothes racks & valets that have been stripped back to a single black line. These minimalist design pieces are like traces of sketches brought to life. Devoid of any superfluous decoration, they play with our perceptions of the second and the third dimension…
Paper & Tea Concept Store by Fabian von Ferrari // Berlin.
21st January
P & T concept store is a brand new retail space in Berlin dedicated to those mad about the aromatic leaves and stationery.

It’s super cool, yet it remains inclusive…

15th October
As promised in my posts last week, I’m really excited to share with you my personal highlight from MAISON&OBJET held in Paris in September. MINIMUM, curated by Elizabeth Leriche, examined the idea of “revealing the essence of Beauty in all its purity.” This exhibition resonated with me on several levels – I rediscovered a number of old favourites, and added a few new ones to the list…
Dynamic VHS Tape Installations by Zilvinas Kempinas.
30th July
Well isn’t this just a little bit nuts? I am in awe of Lithuanian-born and New York-based artist Žilvinas Kempinas. His installation “Tube” (2008) involved a whole bunch of VHS tapes (remember those?) and electric fans. How the hell did he manage to get all the pieces of tape so perfectly stretched and equally spaced? The OCD part of me is most impressed! This installation has an incredibly delicate and etherial quality – the tape transforms from thin black lines to virtually disappearing in front of your eyes…
