MOMA current exhibition: Isa Genzken
“Isa Genzken’s Retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, organized by a royal flush of curators is one of the best major shows the museum has put on in a long time. Sculptors especially will find much of interest in Ms. Genzken’s approach to materials, and those curious about German postwar art have a lot to celebrate in the show, which puts on view many works never before seen for the first time in the U.S.” Via: Design Museum
Architecture and reading: University of Coimbra’s Library
Fan of arquitecture and of reading, then this library is just perfect for you. “The General Library of the University of Coimbra is devided between a new building built in 1962, and by the historical Joanina Library built in 1725. The Joanina Library is adorned with Baroque décor and houses the library’s volumes that date from before 1800.” Via: Design Limited Edition
Nick Cave’s soundsuits
Buy yourself one and hide from the world while being stylish (lots of ish here – however the sculptures are amazing!) “The selection of extravagant wearable art pieces are informed by the likes of rocket missiles and tree roots in an effort to articulate the spirit of human movement through color, texture and sculpture.” Via: I Lobo You
NAMIB armchair
A imponent armchair to make you feel powerfull. “This invigorating, balanced and curved armchair is the master creation of powerful forces, where wood and satin cotton help to convey our mind to sublime a feeling of being embraced by a classic.” via: Design Gallerist
Gaudi House
“Knitted in this unmistakable urban fabric you will some unusual and well-known buildings of a single architect named Antoni Gaudí. His unique approach to the Art Nouveau movement generated some of the most creative buildings you will see in this Spanish region known as Cataluña.” Via: Best Design Events
Jamie Oliver’s recipes
You should avoid the ‘seasonal’ ones. You know My Design Week loves food, and Jamie Oliver’s recepies. They have an amazing taste, look mouthwatering and you can do them at home. And you can fall in love with your own creations. Via Jamie Oliver
Club Musee
It is a design club in Madrid. A space for arte, design and dancing – a club in an art gallery. Via Decoração pra Casa
Minus 5 Bar
“the bar features color-changing LEDs and remixed pop songs streaming through speakers embedded in the ice. For the new outpost, ice sculptor Peter Slavin drew inspiration from New York landmarks such as Central Park, Brooklyn Bridge, and the Statue of Liberty.” Via Ny Design Agenda
Thank you for this post! I’m already in love with design! Cheers 😉
