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.

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)

The sound of spring …

… just outside our windows here at the LA office, we have a lot of beautiful trees that are blossoming. From them we hear the eager sound of many birds tweeting at the moment. They are just as excited about the sun shining as we are and we like that a lot. One of the most common birds in DK is the blackbird …
