…but I’m absolutely loving this poster design by Alison Carmichael! It made my sister and I howl with laughter on the phone yesterday!


NO NO NO!!!! I’m so fucking annoyed! Look at what Paul Smith has done to the gorgeous Cylindra range designed by Arne Jacobsen! And he was officially asked by Stelton to do so for their 50th anniversary! It’s like they have no idea of the subtlety and under played beauty of the design, the handles are black for a reason. They are not there to scream out at you “Look at me look at me, some designer has added colour and isn’t it oh so clever”….ummmm….no it’s not! I’m sure Arne Jacobsen is turning in his grave right now. Why mess with it? Leave it alone! I’m off to smash my head against a brick wall…

…my first Krenit bowl has arrived! I’ve never seen one in real life before and if I thought I liked them before well now I am completely smitten! The colour is just amazing and so intense, it really stands out against the outer matte black. I have my eyes peeled for a blue one, a chartreuse one, a yellow one…..the obsessing has well and truly begun…
