Some things I like from Lisbeth Dahl’s autumn winter catalog...

Although I don’t understand 99% of swedish Elle Interior, I’m loving some of the magazine’s imagery so much!
...below some quick pictures I took to share it with you ;)

On 1968 Kazuhide Takahama designed this gorgeous modular seating system.
I’d love to have some of these green and grey hexagons on our living room!
Our cat would enjoy them as well... ;)

In the fifties, Henry P. Glass designed these amazing pieces of furniture.
Ohhh... I'd love to have them at my studio!!

When I grow older I would love to be like Alexander Girard (at least a tiny bit). So much talent concentrated in one human being!
Cuando sea mayor me gustaría ser -aunque sea solo un poquito- como Alexander Girard. ¡Cuanto talento concentrado en un solo ser humano!

*On 1967 Johannes Larsen designed this adjustable cushion.
It's just my type of transforming furniture! I think my cat would love it as well...
Have a nice day!





**Adoro este cojín desplegable diseñado por Johannes Larsen en 1967.
Es justo el estilo de mobiliario informal/transformer que me gusta. Creo que mi gato se lo pasaría muy bien con él también.

¡Buenos días!

I love this japanese thing of placing smiling faces everywhere :)
Iremonya Design Labo has two shops, one in Kyoto and another one in Tokyo, I love their smiling file folders!

On 1926 Josef Albers designed these gorgeous nesting tables for the so called Moellenhof House in Berlin.
Now you can buy the reissue via Vitra, of course.

Last week received an email from Greta and Isla, two finnish designers who have designed wallets from cassette tapes.
They want me to ask you how much would you pay for these beautiful recycled wallets...

Someone said 20€? Make your bids and tell them.


It's a pity that last week I already bought a new owl wallet for me at H&M...

I love this amazing ceramic amplifier designed by Science and Sons...
Below a “how it works” explanation taken from their website:

“Without the use of external power or batteries, the Phonofone inventively exploits the virtues of horn acoustics to boost the audio output of standard earphones to up to 55 decibles* (or roughly the maximum volume of laptop speakers). Upon connecting active earphones to the Phonofone their trebly buzzing is instantly and profoundly transformed into a warm, rich and resonant sound.”

“The Phonofone is constructed entirely from ceramic. Not only environmentally low impact, ceramics are inherently rigid and resonant, lending themselves well to this application.”

Lighting designer Stuart Haygarth makes these STUNNING lamps...


Spectacle(2006) is created from over 1000 pairs of prescription spectacles.


Aladdin (2006) made of different colour glassware found on fleamarkets.


Tail Light(2007) is made of vehicle light lenses.

Architect Richard Neutra designed the Boomerang Chair in 1942.
Isn’t it gorgeous?

This amazing bear-shaped sleeping bag has been created by Eiko Ishizawa.





I’m a self-confessed Peau d’Âne fan and I think this is a great contemporary revisitation! :)
Below darling Catherine Deneuve as Peau d’Âne.

Yesterday attended to the Cildo Meireles exhibition at MACBA and got crazy about Babel (the radio tower you can see below), in the whole exhibition space the only lights were the ones from the transistor radios and the sound was a crazy mix of all the cassettes, radio stations and so on...


After MACBA went to another museum, but in the middle of the walk I got surprised again by these temporary city lights The Barcelona Council has installed in Ronda Sant Antoni. They are so strange that I can’t even describe them... all kind of materials mixed (concrete, wood, plastic, metal...), they are so not-designed that seem really modern indeed!

Three of my favourite Hella Jongerius projects, so contemporary and warm...

Backpack Sofa & Stool

Created on 1956 by finnish Ilmari Tapiovaara these (rocking) chairs drive me crazy. Timeless, comfortable, stylized... Bravo!!!


And below Tapiovaara himself with some chairs designed by him.

I love The Flaming Lips and I LOVE their shows... attended a few times and always had lots of fun, the picture above reminded me of Wayne Coyne’s human ball...


By the way... have you seen their “Fearless Freaks” documentary? Truly inspiring!!

Bertjan Pot creates these amazing lamps (among many other fantastic things...).



Love this Disco Dome!


This lamp was constructed like a light reflective screen used by photographers.
It’s huge (110 cm diameter) but foldable!

Greece is for lovers designed this fantastic Martini hook.
Time ago I was a Dry Martini habitual... if I’d known before!





...and have you seen their Granny Tunes?

*Saw it on Today and Tomorrow.

Yesterday loved this pop-up kitchen idea for people living in open spaces...
Is made by Bulthaup.





if the above images are too cold and minimal for you, what about the ones below? -saw them on LivingETC-.

Isn’t she beautiful? Elegant, delicate and modern. Thank you George!
