I browsed through my pictures from the brit insurance design awards this morning. I like the form of konstantin grcic‘s 360° chair for italian manufacturer magis but I do not understand why they put the orange version of the chair on display at the designmuseum. It looks like a piece of an Ikea collection. what I find interesting is how the munich-based designer started off and ended up with a chair that barely reminds you of the prototype.

1934 born designer reinhold weiss is one of the creaters of iconic electronics manufacturer braun. this elegant piece is one of the exhibited pieces at the ‘more and less’ show at the desigmuseum.

but what is it exactly?
a hint: it’s hand-size.

I never met dieter rams in person. even if I would love to. recently I saw his ‘less and more’ exhibition at the designmuseum in london.
dieter was the director at the german electronics manufacturer braun and is known globally for his simple and elegant aesthetics.

there was a picture of dieter’s living room hanging on the wall. it’s exactly like I want mine to be. dieter, if you need a roommate, give me a ring.
