The Another hot stand in the halls of Maison et Objet fair has prepared Belgian designer and producer Michael Verhayden.

His products are as abstract symbols of the big painting for us. We bring you these pictures of Verhayden`s stand as abstract compositions where colors and materials create wonderful world of decoration and craft.

In the style of many 20th century decorators, Verhayden creates delicate products and accessories using various materials, such as marble, leather, wood, brass or horn. The outcome is the ultimate luxury collection of daily things: combs, scissors, bowls, bags, as well as 1950s inspired 55 armchair or the minimalist stand lamp.

Verhayden makes all the things hand made and in the limited series. He is true decorator/maker of our time.

The Maniera Moderna exhibition of Carla Mollino at Haus der Kunst in München was a must-see event of the last season.

We were there, made some photos and took some print materials from the show to enrich our knowledge about the Italian master.











For the launch of our Mollino book featured in the last story we have prepared this small installation related to the book, as well as some aspects of Mollino`s life.

The installation we created in the 3DH furniture showroom for the occasion of the presentation only. It included original Mollino`s Cavour table which is in the production of Zanotta now, as well as several books on Mollino or special designed prints showing visual style of the book and its paper models.

Again thanks 3DH showroom, Studio Činčera and Signpek print.

Finally we have here review from our exhibition at Lodz Design Festival. Above you can read whole text about the concept of the exhibition presented on our posters for the exhibition, as well as discover some of the highlights of the show next to the hidden icons which we could not discover in the archives. So presented them in illustrations only.

Lodz Design Festival, 20 - 30 October 2011



Last month you could see very nice exhibition which presented work of Czech sculptor Vincenc Vingler (1911 - 1981) in the Prague-based gallery Moderna.

Under the name of "How did rook meet seal", the exhibition presented very specific work of this sculptor who was interested in the animal figures only. This abstract-shaped owl created in the 1960s shows typical Vingler morphology and elegant aesthetic.

We like nice graphic design of the poster as well.












Inspired by everything from the functionalist architecture to the visuality of the classic American work-wear, we completed our installation at the Prague Designblok 2011 last week.

Together with Pedal Project we showed some our new as well as classic products in the elaborated styling, especially influenced by the look of our original exhibition space in the Šporkovský palác built in the 18th century, where famous Czech architect Josef Gočár made his own reconstruction during the 1920s. To his dark wood panelling interior we added modernist steel chairs, as well as wood table designed by Czech modernist designer Jindřich Halabala. Shelves made out of wood and strings were perfect choice to complete our natural vision.

Above you can see photo editorial from our exposition.

Next week we are going to Lodz Design Festival to present our curated show called Light Sculptures, Czech table lamps 1950 - 1990, where we will present some of the finest examples of the Czech modernist lightning design.

This lamp by František Jirák, Czech designer and architect, will not be on the show, because was impossible to get it for us. Design from 1950s resembles typical morphology of the postwar organic design. Some very similar lamps see in Lodz.

More about exhibition and some lamps from the show soon!
