Japan & colors

We want to go to Tokyo again soon! Beautiful story shot by Anders Edström for AnOther magazine (2009) featuring Tao Okamoto.

 

Bar & Co

If we were going to Helsinki anytime soon, we would visit this bistro and bar, called Bar & Co. Read more about it here.

Neon Museum

Wow – this looks like a cool place! The Neon Museum at Las Vegas.

Via.

Jasper Morrison

Next time we’re in London, we’re definitely going to pay Jasper Morrison’s (secret) gallery/high-class hardware shop a visit. Apparently it has been hiding behind a black gate with no signs and directions at Kingsland Rd. since 2008. Found you!

A garden …

We’re dreaming about a garden (and an estate) like Stella McCartney’s getaway … read the great story on how she made it all happen here.

Pärlans

How mouthwatering does this little Swedish chocolate & toffee shop Pärlans look? Cute graphic identity by Clara Von Zweigberg and we love how they have kept the decor and style of the shop all 30′s & 40′s … see more here.

Corinne Vionnet

Images by French/Swiss artist Corinne Vionnet. She has found images of popular tourist attractions online and put them on top of each other. The result shows how (boringly?) similar we portray these places = how they are shown in tourist-brochures. She questions how we ‘experience’ these places … read more about it here.

Le Corbusier’s cabanon

Would have loved to see the 1:1 reconstruction of Le Corbusier‘s cabanon when it was built as part of an exhibiton with Cassina in 2009 at RIBA. Le Corbusier designed the little summer holiday home as a birthday gift for his wife Yvonne, located at Cap Martin just down the hills from friend Eileen Gray‘s villa. Magnificent little piece of micro-architecture.

Gothic artefacts

Sometimes you just google stuff you wanna look at, and in this case I felt like googling “Vintage Magnifying glass” – don’t know why, I guess I just thought something beautiful would come up. And so it happend that I stumbled across this wonderfully weird and macabre Gothic antique shop in California.

Castroland

Really interesting and beautiful images from a series of documentary photographs from Cuba by Lasse Bech Martinussen. See more images here and read about the thought behind the series (only in Danish though)
