Furniture, furnishings, and interior design

shipping a bed overseas sounds kind of wild, but maybe they have a stockist in au? either way, I'd assume the pricetag weighs as much as the bed.

lmao, just found out by accident that the first bed is about 8k

three-on-the-bund BUDS

this was a project we did a few years ago for shanghai's three-on-the-bund retail boutique; they're changing 'pods' @ approx 2m diameter x 4m height, completely hand-woven rattan that swivel to open/close. sadly, 3's retail arm closed down and we lost track of where all 6 of the original 'buds' (as we call them) disappeared to... would love to have one or two in our office... or home... sigh...

here's an article in metropolis for those interested:

Loving this clock. Stupid white border on the pic though. Sorry!

^Nice clock, it has a kind of menacing, antique quality, and a little goth as well. Where is it from?

I take the same stunningly simpleminded approach to art that I take to almost everything else. I have no idea what constitutes "good art" or design, so when I see things I like, I figure that's good enough for me. This month I added some of Freitas's sketches and a Stanley Hayter lithograph to my meager art collection. I've no idea if either of them are respectable, skilled, or figured to be competent, but they make me happy.

That's fine, but for me art exists in a sociocultural context. It's not isolated. I usually get my students interested in the importance of studying the history of ideas surrounding art by saying that you can paint a Mona Lisa today and no one will give a shit. If you want to put it in your living room, that's fine, but that's different.

Oh, definitely. I wasn't trying to imply anything to the contrary. In fact, much of the art I have wouldn't even have been considered art except for very recently. Much of it likely won't be interesting to anyone at all in a few years or decades. I'm in no way trying to downplay the factors that contribute to either the creation of, or appreciation of art.

I'm just saying that I don't have any artistic sophistication, and I'm cool with that. I buy art that makes me happy to look at and don't think about it further. It means I have things from friends and acquaintances who mostly make dolls as well as prints (and one painting) from well respected artists. Not for any sophisticated reason, but just because they're all things I like looking at.

I gotcha.
