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...
