Covers

John Paul Thurlow loves to draw and wants to make a statement. What started back in April of last year as “a homage to the creative men and women who produce such disposable perfection”, is now a collection of more than 90 detailed, articulate and personal drawings, all based on the covers of old (fashion) magazines. Nice...!

Cloud

Imagine how cool it would be to run into this dreamy cloud, projected on the wall of the courtyard in Paris? Every year, Nuit Blanche is full of pretty surprises like this... if you're into events, art, design and interactive media, you'd check it out!

All I want...

Last week has pretty much been a week where every minute awake was spent on projects and planning. As I had to submit a plan for a new event within the city of Amsterdam, I didn't have much time to collect any design news. Today I’ll make sure to kick start the week and make up, starting with this post for the ‘All I want…’ series.

This week’s list includes some great, classic style icons (such as the ever beautiful Egg Chair) but also some new finds that will make great gifts. And, yes, do purchase the amazing jumpsuit. It's all you need to look fabulous this winter…!

1 - Coat hooks; 2 - Lamp; 3 - Tea pot;
4 - Monkey; 5 - T-shirt; 6 - Mug;
7 - Cutlery; 8 - Jumpsuit; 9 - Candles;
10 - Bowl; 11 - Ring; 12 - Chair

Maracon

Swiss architectural practice Local Architecture designed this beautiful and contemporary house to respect the morphology and scale of the other constructions in the village. The project is inspired from traditional architectural forms and codes and is reinterpreted to the use of the building and to contemporary esthetics. The form of the building nestles itself in the topography of the ground and inscribes itself in the landscape. For more pictures, go to Plus Mood.

Fever Ray

Tonight Fever Ray will work its magic. My chance to fall under its spell as Fever Ray will be playing at the Paradiso in Amsterdam (I have a ticket!).

Fever Ray is the debut album from Fever Ray, an alias of Swedish Karin Dreijer-Andersson of the electronic duo The Knife. Constructed on electronic foundations and embellished with traditional instrumentation (guitar here, congas there), Fever Ray is strikingly beautiful. If you’re not familiar with Fever Ray, make sure to check it out as her music is incredible…!
