Designosaurus

Two week­ends ago Anouk and I headed to imm Cologne, an inte­rior expo pretty close to us. Some of the halls were really, really bor­ing. And iron­i­cally the halls with the most tacky, over­done and rehashed prod­ucts were the ones with booths adorned with “no pho­tog­ra­phy” signs. I wanted to take a pic­ture of this retro look­ing spot lamp only to get yelled at. Really? I mean come on, I’ve only seen this lamp a mil­lion times today alone. It’s not like any of your stuff is orig­i­nal. Luck­ily every­thing that WAS orig­i­nal and cool could be pho­tographed as much as you want. Photogs:

These fold­ing tables were awe­some, they stand and stack when collapsed!

These cof­fee tables reminded me of the piece by Mon­drian. They’re made of lay­ers of col­ored wooden slabs that slide out of all the sides let­ting the things grow to all sorts of sizes and layouts.
