“Bakker allows his products to take shape on the basis of analysis so that they can question their usage and, where necessary, give rise to new rituals or break existing patterns.”

…And thus we are thrilled by the new

faucet to our tub

and the decanter in which we

let breathe

tulip petals

rose water

and a few drops of

eyes dark, preferably beguiling ones

The 15th tale

Winifred — Thu, 28 Jan 2010 03:52:20 +0000

If we were to spin a tale, een Sprookje,

like Viktor & Rolf

perhaps

we would

write

Viktor & Rolf for de Bijenkorf

Via design.nl

about a girl who soaked up the warm air,

who was mesmerized by the lush green,

and worshiped the star speckled skies of Paramaribo.

A girl who spent hours staring at mineral rich waters,

and densely packed forests,

adrift on het meer,

intoxicated by beauty and brilliance.

Stuuwmeer, Suriname

A girl who danced entire evenings away to the rhythms of kaseko…

We might also write about the secret.

The secret of the spell cast over her when first she heard

kay manman la te ke tramble.

The spell that sets her eyes ablaze like fire,

her hair tracing the pattern of her body, swaying, turning,

transformed every time by zouk.

Her arms are set free as they pay homage,

they too are in a trance, they too feel its magic -

zouk their master, zouk their salve.

Nothing before then means anything,

nothing before then, exists.

zouk la sé sèl médikaman nou ni…

We wandered into the wild world of Wanders and we wondered

Wouldn’t it be fun if

in addition to

revisiting some of our loves

we had instead

been taken by surprise

with a close-up of

something decadent, something marvelous, something fantastic

and we could daydream of taking a ride

different than any we’ve taken before?

In a New York apartment, maybe?

So we’re finding ourselves a bit uninspired these days. Our thirst for beauty is not being met though we admit to perhaps not being entirely in the best place to receive it.

Our mood

has rather

mirrored

The dark celebration of Gehard Demetz

We feel grumpy. We feel annoyed. We feel disappointed that we were not exactly blown away by Dutch Design Week. We could barely bring ourselves to discuss it. Amidst all this cleverness we found ourselves wandering in search of beauty like Arctic explorers in a blinding snowstorm…But in our detached and barely awake for it state, we noticed something that someone living in New York could certainly appreciate.

Badkast by Anna van der Lei

Though this bath within a closet perked us up, we can’t be certain we would entrust to it some of our more precious wardrobe pieces…

It appears the idea of cutting back can be interpreted quite a few different ways, the most amusing of which had to be the concept as it was relayed on the runway by Viktor & Rolf.

We would gladly

settle for just

And give our more serious consideration

to this footwear

or further contemplate
