ever/asting

in 1991, the parisian design gallerist patrick seguin went to see a discarded prouvé treasure. the ferembal house had been built as the offices for a can factory in nancy in 1948. the factory was demolished 30 years later and the prouvé pre fab nearly ended up in the dumpster. luckily, a local who understood what could be lost, packed it away until seguin came to investigate and took it off his hands. it took him another 10 years to stockpile the funds to renovate the house and another nine – working with prouvé experts in nancy, the designer-engineer-architect’s town, and seguin’s long-term pal, the architect jean nouvel – to actually complete the renovation.

seguin estimates that the building – all one storey and 180 square metres of it – is now worth €8m. but the restored ferembal house is important not because of its price tag but because it is more evidence of the genius in prouvé’s radical utilitarian design.

*slaughtering: wallpaper* produced a fascinating video detailing the restoration of jean prouve’s ferembal house. the video explains how prouve’s gem was brought back to life. undoubtedly a worth-watching video with aesthetically rich art design and a quite high nostalgic touch.

what would I be, were it not for my confessions...

time away: produced by norwegian directors matias rygh & mathias eriksenexclusively for bjørg 2010

“it happened.

am I remembering it, or am I just remembering myself remembering it?

I almost cherish not knowing why or how.

but I still seek an explanation.

some things happen, over and over, outside of one’s own control or desires.

the pieces that are missing, are they gone with good reason?

I would like to be honest about all of this.

because I know what is right and what is wrong.

what would I be, were it not for my confessions...

doubts...

dreams...

and my logic.

repetition...

empty holes...

truth...

and lies;

I am memory.”

*slaughtering: outstanding, sensitive and elegant. accompanied by the amazing music composition of bengt hanssen ,as well as the breathtaking narrative voiceover, 'time away' seduced us. it is such a pleasure to witness this relatively new way of viewing fashion. not too long ago fashion film genre was barely on the radar. today it is booming and shorts like the one that matias rygh & mathias eriksen shot are making this innovative way of 'selling' high-street brands a worth admiring form of expression.

you burn up slowly and then go out like that

jekyll and mr hyde, a hydrid novel by alberto hernandez, 2010

'magic book that mixes in the most unpredictable way graphics, text and photography, giving you the impression that you can actually submerge into the story'.

*slaughtering: impressed by this innovative way of creating an illustrative deformation which can be easily experienced by the readers.
