Sorry, I’m off again. Sailing on something like this, somewhere on the east-sea, somehow… (Will be back the 10th of September)

Together with me, Luis Mendo from Good Inc launched his new website yesterday. Lovely site, beautiful work! Go check the Spanish soul!

Another seven months passed away. A beautiful time of traveling, working, meeting inspiring people and seeing my dreams come true.

Time for an update: New- and a bunch of old work at www.anothercompany.org

I just bought a beautiful newspaper-sized photo book by Bart Julius Peters. Be sure you check his website for more ‘black and white-sensual-feeling lost’ photographs.

nce upon a time, there was a wise man who used to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day, as he was walking along the shore, he looked down the beach and saw a human figure moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day, and so, he walked faster to catch up.
As he got closer, he noticed that the figure was that of a young man, and that what he was doing was not dancing at all. The young man was reaching down to the shore, picking up small objects, and throwing them into the ocean.
He came closer still and called out “Good morning! May I ask what it is that you are doing?” The young man paused, looked up, and replied “Throwing starfish into the ocean.” “I must ask, then, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?” asked the somewhat startled wise man. To this, the young man replied, “The sun is up and the tide is going out. If I don’t throw them in, they’ll die.”
Upon hearing this, the wise man commented, “But, young man, do you not realize that there are miles and miles of beach and there are starfish all along every mile? You can’t possibly make a difference!” At this, the young man bent down, picked up yet another starfish, and threw it into the ocean. As it met the water, he said, “It made a difference for that one.”

I’m blown away by the stunning images/sculptures of Geoffrey Mann.

“Flight depicts a solid trace-echo of a bird landing and taking off. The intrinsic properties of glass embrace the transient aesthetic. The form adopts the ambiguous nature that encapsulates a frozen moment in time.”

I’m busy updating my website, but here’s a preview of some new work: Concept, graphic design and photography for the new double album by Sander Kleinenberg ‘This is‘.

Much of the work being done now lacks meaning and the designers know it. There’s a reasonable chair design once every five years and that’s usually the result of a new manufacturing or material innovation. We all see what’s happening at Milan – there are countless new chairs and they’re nearly all a waste of space. — Peter Saville

Every time I’m in a church I have to walk to the center of it, exactly beneath the dome, and I’ll take a picture. Doing this now for some years I realize I’m not the only one who is fascinated about the architectural forms and the energy of this place.
A lovely project by David Stephenson at the Bett Gallery Hobart

“There’s an ethereal magic to standing beneath a dome, neck craned, looking up at a vision of the heavens created by some long-ago figure of genius. From the Pantheon to the Hagia Sophia, the power of the dome seems transcendent. Photographer David Stephenson’s magnificently kaleidoscopic images of dome interiors capture this evanescent drama, and make Visions of Heaven one of the most spectacularly beautiful books we’ve ever produced.

Travelling from Italy to Spain, Turkey, England, Germany, and Russia, among other countries, and photographing churches, palaces, mosques, and synagogues from the second to the early twentieth century, Stephenson’s work amounts to a veritable typology of the cupola. His images present complex geometrical structures, rich stucco decorations, and elaborate paintings as they have never been seen before. Brilliantly calibrated exposures reveal details and colours that would otherwise remain hidden in these dimly lit spaces.”

A beautiful collection of fragrances by Tom Ford. Lovely packaging; very curious about the scents!

It brought us Swedish meatballs, Billy bookshelves and endless queues on the London North Circular on Saturday afternoons. Now Ikea is going one step further and opening the Ikea Hostel, where customers can stay overnight if they haven’t finished their shopping. “There will be the regular dormitory with lots of beds stacked up together. We will also have a bridal suite, with a round bed and a hanging chandelier, and the luxury suite, where customers can enjoy breakfast in bed,” he said. Family rooms will also be available for parents and children to join into the Ikea fun.
