CHAIRS FOR ULTIMATE RELAXATION

The List #11
This month’s The List celebrates rest and relaxation, especially en plein air as the summer approaches. If relaxation had a shape, what would it be? It would definitely be more in the form of a chair than a bed, which is certainly for resting but which has changed little over the centuries. 
DESIGN AND ART HISTORY MIRROS

The List#10

Mysterious and fascinating objects, mirrors have long created magical effects, can trick the eye, and have been used to make spaces bigger and brighterIf mirrors could talk, they would tell tales of what they have seen over time: expressions, emotions, physical changes, secrets and stories which have been reflected on their surfaces.

EASTER EGGS: IN ART, DESIGN, AND HISTORY

The List #09

This month’s The List is an exploration of objects that are inspired after the essential forms of the egg and its fragility but also its perfection and resilience. At Easter, eggs are symbolic religiously, are found on tables as decorations, are made from chocolate, and are filled with candy so children can search for them in Easter egg hunts. 

 

ALL THINGS LIGHTING DESIGN

STORIES OF LADIES AND THEIR HANDBAGS

GATHERING AROUND THE TABLE

THE LIST #4
This month’s “The List” is dedicated to all things festive and food enjoyed around the table. We’ll explore various examples in art and cinema that portray the symbolic and expressive power of gathering around the table. Paintings, installations and films help us to remember that, as philosopher Kant stated, the highest good is the dinner party: eating well, in good company, at a beautifully laid table.
BOOKCASES & BOOKSHELVES

The List #3
The October month List is about bookcases and bookshelves. They are the display cases of life and of the person who lives in that space: beloved books, special gifts, collections or small decorative objects. Only when bookshelves are full can they truly express themselves.
DESIGN MEETS MATERIAL
