Danish design



There's a very dedicated chap called Martin Klatsch who compiles various selections of kitsch pictures. Here he has gathered a collection of images from old 1970's danish pornographic magazines, paying attention to the decor rather than the action, the images are safe for work...

Decline & Fall



AAAAARGH!

This photo makes me want to go out and stab people. This is one of the 13 new meeting rooms that have been designed for the Lego building in Denmark. Everything about this picture is wrong, from the cliched geeks in childish cargo pants and thick black specs (plus 'ironic' t-shirt?) playing whilst sitting on the floor like children, in a childlike room (with the even more thunderously cliched 'blue sky thinking' decoration)

I found this execreble photograph at ARCH DAILY

a great blogger called Nige posted up a great piece that dealt with this horrible infantilisation process that we are all having foisted upon us, using the medium of the 'designer cupcake'

The comments section began to get interesting when people made intimations towards the correlation between women and their buying choices with regards to the propagation of infantilisation, but then everyone chickened out. shame.

his blog is NIGENESS, and it's ace

Architecture



I would never really want to live in one of these ridiculously prissy, cold and over-designed houses, but I do quite like the thought of cleaning my teeth and looking at a nice water feature rather than an avocado plastic bath suite.

A new bathmat made of moss is kept alive by the water that drips from your body as you dry.

The mat contains a total of 70 pieces of ball, island and forest moss measuring 2.4in (6cm) each in diameter.

It feels soft underfoot and does not smell when it gets damp.

Each piece of moss is cut into a foam frame, which prevents the moss from spreading or growing out of control.
