Martin Margiela White Objects

Anyone know how I can get hold of these White Objects by Maison Martin Margiela? Or better still, how I can recreate them myself? Brilliant industrial anonymity. A kind of celebration of form and design, but with the texture and decay tempered by cloth coverings and false fronts. Deconstructionism. I particularly love the “doors” and “rugs”, [...]

Grass Furniture

Talk about guerilla gardening. Both from Inhabitat, and possibly related to a new project of mine. Just because the Green agenda and Eco-design is slipping down in scale of importance for consumers, doesn’t mean that it shouldnt (or couldnt) be brought to life in surprising and interesting ways.  So long as it’s relevant, people will pay [...]
