The lion is the most popular motif of the tattoo artist, who is one of the most successful in Germany (if not worldwide). Even before her 30th birthday, she opened her o...

Børge Mogensen was ahead of his time Shaker furniture from Denmark? Børge Mogensen designed modular furniture in 1945, shortly after the end of the war. He was quite a visionary with that. Even those who arrive early are unpunctual. Børge Mogensen, Danish furniture designer, was usually well ahead of the times - especially with his sofa "Spoke-Back" from 1945. Denmark had just been liberated, and the petite two-seater with its side rests cleverly adjustable by leather straps was considered too playful by contemporaries. Yet Mogensen took the clarity and honesty of Shaker furniture as a model for many of his designs. After all, once his early work finally went into production in 1962, "Spoke-Back" was quickly celebrated as "the most Danish of all furniture". Unfortunately, the life of the furniture purist was also far too rapid. He died in 1972 at the age of only 58. Børge Mogensen, 1945, at Fredericia since 1962, 8340 euros, fredericia.com.

Everything new? Last Minute Christmas Tree Decoration Times a little different Christmas tree decoration on Christmas Eve? Or is it again the good old tinsel including fairy lights and red Christmas balls? I think many of you are like me: The Christmas tree looks every year somehow the same. The boxes are taken out of the cellar and the Christmas decorations are put on the tree. It's a nice tradition. And even if the tree this year again looks exactly the same as the year before and before and before that, then you can at least get a few ideas and suggestions on how you could possibly, possibly, possibly do it. The somewhat different Christmas tree decoration? As I said, whether the tree will really look different this year, I do not know myself yet. But at least I have already gone one step further, namely that, to be inspired by different tree decorations variants. And there was really everything. From brightly colored, to the classics to a tree without ornaments, only hung wi...

The Bauhaus celebrates its 100th birthday - a tribute Exactly 100 years ago today, on April 12, 1919, the State Bauhaus was founded in Weimar. What to do with the birthday boy? Eberhardt Schrammen, five hand puppets, c. 1923. On permanent loan to the Klassik Stiftung Weimar from the Theaterwissenschaftliche Sammlung der Universität zu Köln. Weimar Classic Foundation Last weekend, it was officially laid to rest. In Weimar, the site of its founding, the Bauhaus now has a massive, windowless concrete sarcophagus, perfectly air-conditioned archive and testimony to a history that is just that: history. It's nice to look at, but that's the end of it. The world has moved on. Today marks the 100th anniversary of the founding of the school; on April 12, 1919, Walter Gropius, together with Henry van de Velde, blew the whistle on a new beginning and intellectual clearing out.

Superlight and hyperlocal: printed working light by Leon Laskowski from Berlin. Print It Yourself The special talent of a 3D printer is complex shapes. It masters not only undercuts, but also joint connections accurate to the millimeter and optimized cavities. Leon Laskowski, a designer from Berlin and graduate of the Weissensee Art Academy, has played out the potential of generative manufacturing in his project All In . The luminaire is completely printed in just one run. When it is lifted out of the construction space, the lightweight, weighing only 400 grams, is already assembled and folded to save space. Only the LED, the heat sink and the electronic components have to be inserted subsequently. The luminaire is made of laser-sintered polyamide, which can display its positive material properties particularly when used on the luminaire. The material, also known as nylon, is self-lubricating, which allows the joints of the luminaire to be adjusted to any position. All In is one ...

Dimore Studio: Great cinema and feelings in Instagram format Dimore Studio showed across Milan galactic furniture, a collection for Dior and feelings in Instagram format. What does a broken heart sound like? For Dimore Studio, heartbreak manifests itself in a plaintive tone: muffled, loud and crushing, it accompanied melancholy video scenes of two lost souls on a rainy Parisian day in their presentation for French suitcase manufacturer Au Départ. Preserved heartbreak that, at 15 seconds long each, fits hair-perfectly into an Instagram story. Britt Moran and Emiliano Salci always plan down to the last detail. And proved in a veritable flood of Milan shows what excellent directors they are. There was their first, by-demand-only, 14-piece collection for Dior, which they showed at the Villa Casa degli Atellani, where Leonardo once painted. At Cinema Arti, they presented "Interstellar," their new label, Dimore Milano. This is loud, fresh and punk rock. No, Dimore doesn't n...

In the footsteps of Charles and Ray Eames: The Jill plywood chair by Alfredo Häberli Charles and Ray Eames were ahead of their time. But they were equally caught up in it. More precisely, in the technical possibilities that were available to them. One design that never came to fruition for this reason is a wooden version of their famous Plastic Chair. As early as the early 1940s, the pair of designers developed a process for the three-dimensional deformation of plywood. Along with a leg brace for wounded war returnees, their Plywood Elephant is considered to be the most technically challenging design that they realized in plywood. However, a wooden seat shell made from a single piece like that of the Plastic Chair eluded them. This is where Alfredo Häberli comes in. At a young age, the Zurich designer acquired an original Eames leg prosthesis and was fascinated by its realization. When Rolf Fehlbaum approached him to develop a project for Vitra, his mission was immediately circums...

by Katja Neumann, 19.01.2009 Where children a few years ago associated the term Pisa merely with a leaning tower in northern Italy, this word now makes students and teachers alike wince. Since 2000, the study of the same name has been commissioned by the OECD to compare school performance internationally. Germany regularly ranks in the middle to bottom in almost all categories, which causes an outcry among parents and politicians every three years. There are many reasons for this: an outdated school system, social problems, education policy and, last but not least, cash-strapped municipalities that can barely raise the money needed to maintain school buildings. The solutions are just as varied as the reasons. However, a start could be made on improving the learning situation, as shown by a new study conducted by the University Hospital in Hamburg on behalf of Philips. The result: Both attention and concentration, as well as the activity of students can be positively and significantl...

Elegant harmonious sofa by Piero Lissoni for Living Divani In his new design for Living Divani, Milanese architect and designer Piero Lissoni aimed for a balance between a fluid, dynamic design language and the stability and coziness of a piece of seating furniture. The concave curve of the sofa's seat becomes an eye-catcher of the entire design, giving Sumo an elegant silhouette. Everyday elegance The black frame and slender legs create a sense of lightness. Contrast this with the lushly upholstered elements - the back and armrests - that invite you to linger. Sumo is available as a sofa or daybed with different covers, as well as an outdoor version. as Frame: powder coated steel Arm and backrest: poplar and pine wood Cover: textile and leather in different colors Side table: walnut wood, marble length 220/260 cm; depth 96 cm; height 58 cm; seat height 29 cm; seat depth 69 cm Japanese Stewartia Growing Guide

Best Pizza in Town New name? New Look! Studio Modijefsky helps the pizzeria "Via" in Zwolle, the Netherlands, to a new appearance. "At VIA we make the best wood oven pizzas in town," the pizzeria says about itself. Admittedly, this is a claim that every (better) pizzeria claims for itself. Nevertheless, it is clear that great words need a great appearance. They got it from Studio Modijefsky from Amsterdam. "VIA", previously known as "Da Portare", has created a new identity for itself with its ninth pizzeria in the Netherlands; carefully put together by Studio Modijefsky. The chain wanted a strong interior design concept with recognition value; one that can be applied to all upcoming branches of the pizzeria. The "VIA" in Zwolle, the Netherlands. Like an installation, the large light bulbs float above all the tables. The intersection of the ropes picks up the diamond-shaped logo of the "VIA". The new "VIA" h...

Modernization and extension by Georg Bechter Architects Combining old and new without slipping into banality is one of the biggest challenges in remodeling. In the Bregenzerwald, Georg Bechter Architects have struck just the right note with the careful modernization of an old vacation home. The road winds in curves from the small community of Langenegg up the hill to Rotenberg. At the top of the hill stands a vacation home from the sixties. It offers its inhabitants an enviable view in the direction of Lake Constance as well as of the highest peak in the region, the Damülser Mittagsspitze. Modern nostalgia The plain wooden house had long served well, but offered little space. To expand the living space, Georg Bechter Architects raised the gable roof and created a modern upper floor that blends as harmoniously as it contrasts with the rest of the house. The original rooms have lost none of their rustic, alpine character, yet have gained in brightness and spaciousness. "Existi...

A water armature with a sporty figure The Tara.Logic faucet is slim and slender. Dornbracht's new series of faucets builds on the shape of the Tara.Classic single-lever mixer, but differs in its slender elongated form. With the deliberate omission of a rosette, this is additionally emphasized. Tara.Logic stands for fitness, which Dornbracht illustrates in its ritual bath of the same name: it is laid out in six zones that are to be completed in a sequence - like in a gym, only here the individual stations are called: Preparation, Facewash, Body Cleaning, Shower, Contrast Bath and Private Gym.

Beautiful things for the household - utensils for cleaning and washing up When it comes to the household, it must be one thing above all: practical. The aesthetics usually falls by the wayside. But it's actually not that difficult to pay attention to pragmatics and aesthetics at the same time. But if you look around in the stores, you will be taught better. Plastic dishwashing brushes in a supposedly ergonomic shape, cleaning cloths and sponges in eye cancer-causing neon colors, and I don't even want to start with the dishwashing liquid bottles. Do you have to attend an ugliness seminar as a product designer for household items? Excuse me, does this come in pretty? But fortunately there is another way. They actually exist, the things for the household, which are equally beautiful and practical. You just have to look for them a little longer, because you won't find them in the usual drugstores. So you do not have to look so long for it, I have the new series "Be...

The Look This much is for sure: With this look Linda comes not only to the Berghain, but everywhere. Because black is not only the old and the new black, but also the hippest color in the wild mess of a typical Berlin mid-twenties closet. And while you basically can't go wrong with all black, the look gets even more interesting when different materials come together like Linda's: Suede and smooth leather, on bag and docs, wasted jeans and cotton on skinny jenas and shirt. The cut out at the back and the flowing length at the sides give Linda's silhouette a confident, dramatic attitude that will still suit her next year - black(s) don't crack!. Get the Look: hat, dress from ZARA, leather jacket (vintage) you can find a similar one at ASOS / jeans from ZARA / and the great lipstick in from MAC ( Matte Royal B75) Styling and model: Linda Adhiambo Text: Susann Ruscher Photos: Jules Villbrandt Everything i like..People, Photography, Interior, Places, Magazine, Design,...

Conversion of a Melbourne apartment building by Splinter Society "Design is primarily a process of reduction so that the character of the original building can emerge," say the architects of Australian firm Splinter Society. In renovating a family home in Melbourne, they exposed old structures and demonstrated the courage to leave gaps. by Nina C. Müller, 04/20/2021 Once a factory building, later separate condominiums - and now a house for a young family: Asha Nicholas and Chris Stanley from the architecture firm Splinter Society and their clients wanted to preserve the changeable history and industrial atmosphere of the existing Melbourne building, which was erected at the end of the 19th century. Three-quarters full A wall that once separated the two halves of the apartment still forms a vertical dividing line within the three-story building. This division, the architect duo explains, creates a chimney-like void that they used as a residential center. This high, o...

Art Basel Miami Beach 2014 AD-Editor-at-Large Doris Chevron visits Art Basel Miami Beach 2014 for us - highlighting the best exhibitions, restaurants and hotels. When Art Basel made the leap across the pond and into the winter sun in 2002, it was a pretty exciting venture. The director at the time, Sam Keller, had secured a couple of high-profile sponsors, including UBS and BMW. The pool at the Delano Hotel was brand new and an exciting venue. Twelve years later, you've long since needed a GPS to find your way around Art Basel Miami. This year, the world's wealthy art collectors arrived in the days leading up to the opening, not infrequently by private jet. Add to that artists, private dealers, curators, critics, self-promoters, and art groupies with wild outfits. Art as a spectacle - after all, you don't treat yourself to anything else. And yes, it's so much fun that some come just for the parties. Each year, the area's museums stage their most important exhibit...

What looks so futuristic is a coffee and tea set Admittedly, this blocky polyurethane coffee and tea set comes across as very futuristic. Irritated, you look at it and wonder what you could be dealing with here, so strongly abstracted are the shapes of the individual components of the service that they almost seem like works of art. Even if their function is not immediately apparent, one is impressed by the coolness of form and color. Wiel Arets is one of the architects commissioned by Alessi to design a limited edition "Tea + Coffee Tower". The brief called for designing a tea and coffee set that would also include a sugar bowl, creamer, and tray. Arets' design is made particularly interesting by the fact that all the individual parts of the service - whether coffee pot or sugar bowl - are the same size, only the inner structures of the transparent entities differ from each other.
