Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style

Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style Hola the wood fairy, but from the reading corner we can not get out of the whole autumn. And that's what we thought when we shot the beautiful pieces of furniture from &tradition in the summer. The Danish label for furniture, accessories and lighting has already enchanted us many times in the past, so it was about time that we give ourselves a little bit to the label when it comes to creating a beautiful, cozy feel-good corner for your home. Admittedly, having the products of &tradition at home and being able to create a great reading corner with them, has already pleased us quite a bit. When else do you have the opportunity to equip a corner through and through with design classics? Well, well, we didn't get used to it, after all, the great pieces were only visiting for the shoot. But nevertheless or just because of it: Our Interior-Wishlist has now become a lot longer. Here comes our inspiration for a cozy rea...

Our five highlights you should not miss! We show you our five art highlights of Art Cologne A pleasing number of female artists can be found among the 20 "New Positions", each occupying 25 square meters. Austrian Assunta Abdel Azim Mohamed's trademark is ballpoint pen drawings reminiscent of hidden object paintings. She says, "I examine the interpersonal in people's daily relationships and actions. In doing so, I dissect the rigid faces of my characters and expose deep psychological minefields." Moving between figuration and abstraction, cute and grotesque are the works of Polish artist Aneta Kajzer, also a "New Position." She tries to shatter unambiguities and allow ambivalences. The art of interpretation is required from the viewer: Are two dots a...
by Julia Bluth, 05/04/2012 Naoto Fukasawa was born in 1956 in Yamanashi Prefecture, Japan, and studied art and 3D design at Tama Art University in Tokyo. After graduating in 1980, he first worked as a designer at Seiko-Epson and from 1989 to 1996 at ID-two in San Francisco. He then returned to Tokyo, where he established the Japanese branch of IDEO, an international design and innovation consultancy. In 2003 he finally opened his own office, Naoto Fukasawa Design, and in the same year founded plusminuszero, a brand for minimalist household appliances and utilitarian objects. His functional designs often play with a second level and a déja vu effect - like the CD player reminiscent of a fan that he designed for the cult label Muji. Since 2001, he has been a consultant for the Japanese brand, whose "anonymous design" hides many big names. He himself describes his design philosophy as "without thought" and attaches importance to the instinctive quality that lies i...

Advertising | Le Balcon Parisien

Advertising | Le Balcon Parisien (Advertising) In cooperation with OTTO, we have taken a look at the balcony, which is even called a window to the outside world by some. Who does not know it? During the long autumn and winter time the balcony degenerates felt to a garbage outdoor storage, the plants hang through, it is a small tragedy, at most to cool drinks or on New Year's Eve the balcony has found a use in the winter. All the better that spring has finally arrived in our country and we can once again give our balconies our full attention. The balcony story The history of the balcony, by the way, can be traced back to around the birth of Christ. If we believe ancient Roman wall drawings, covered balconies on buildings were already common in the Roman Empire. In the Orient, too, wood-carved balconies provided a view of the public, especially for women. With the expansion of the Ottoman Empire, balconies came to the Mediterranean region and thus spread to Europe. At first, balco...

We have compiled twelve of our favorite vacation destinations on our doorstep for your next trip - old classics and new treasures. Mauritzhof, Münster The "Mauritzhof" on the edge of Münster's old town has been around since the 80s. However, the 52-room boutique hotel underwent a butterfly-like transformation a few years ago, with the Berlin design studio Lambs and Lions simultaneously providing the pupae and the cocoon of heavy fabrics and warm colors, double rooms from 159 euros. Rosso, Allgäu South of the Elbe, life is not the same. That's what Lisa Rühwald and Christian Müller noticed when they set off from Hamburg two years ago "with a healthy dose of naivety in their luggage". They didn't get as far as Italy, because a farm in the Allgäu region fell in front of their feet. So they broug...

by Katrin Schamun, 13.01.2009 Iceland is the land where the elves live. At the sight of the mysterious landscape of black lava rock shrouded in mist, from whose crevices steam rises here and there, one immediately believes in the existence of such mythical creatures. Under the ground there are bubbling volcanoes, majestic glaciers still change the surface of the island, there are mysterious lagoons, bubbling geysers, thundering waterfalls. Geothermal springs give birth to natural outdoor pools with hot bathing spots, which can be found all over the island and are enjoyed to the fullest by its inhabitants. When traveling, bathing suits should always be in your luggage so that you don't miss out on a dip in one of the natural outdoor pools. Bathing in thermal baths is part of the Icelandic culture. Every city has at least one outdoor pool, fed by warm water from the depths of the earth. In Reykjavik, there are seven public baths that have saunas, swimming pools and several hot po...

Old man's head cactus: How to care for this special hairy cactus species

Old man's head cactus: How to care for this special hairy cactus species . This houseplant not only needs to be watered, but also coiffed! But otherwise, the decorative old man's head cactus, which originates from Mexico, is quite easy to care for. Better not to pet: the old man's head looks fluffy but has spines. Sergi Escribano / Getty Images The old man's head cactus has white hairs in addition to its spines. They grow most luxuriantly when the desert plant is given plenty of sun. Most cacti have spines - the old man's head, also called Viejito cactus, has even more to offer: It is also characterized by fine, white or grayish hairs. This slow-growing species, native to Mexico, looks even more decorative when covered with small yellow, red or white flowers in spring and early summer (but unfortunately this is usually only seen on older specimens outdoors). What is an old man's head? Cephalocereus senilis, better known as old man's head, is a desert ...
