Ralph Lacoste Shirt – Rumble in the tumble
Can you believe it? I just put my new green Lacoste dress and my white Ralph Lauren Shorts into the washing machine and what comes out: this T-Shirt!?!
I’m glad that I just put the shortprogram; if not, someone probably would have been killed…

The Spirit of the Red-Blue Chair or how I fell in love with Rietveld…
One day my workshop teacher arrived with some technical drawings and building instructions of the Red-Blue Chair designed by Rietveld.
Till that moment I enjoyed miscalling it The Electric “Mondrian” Chair.
Seeing how it is constructed, removes the scales from my eyes and I fell in love with the way the invisible joints are working and the secret which hides under the seat…
Wenn ich sitze, möchte Ich nicht
sitzen, wie Mein Sitzfleisch möchte
sondern wie Mein Sätzgeist sich
säsze er, den Stuhl sich flöchte.
It’s the first verse of “ The Aesthete” by Morgenstern When I sit, I sitting, tend to sit a seat with sense so fine that I can feel my sit-soul blend insensibly with seat’s design and works like a cherry on the top: perfectly.
But: as in every love affair there are some negative parts – it seems that the not visible parts of the chair are not painted, because ‘ They are not on sight anyway’… so meanwhile Rietveld is flirting with some Swede I will head on…
Even though I’m looking forward to sit in it one day… but I think that my flesh is too weak, even if my spirit is willing…

The Daily Discovery #6 – UNDISCOVERED
Skipping through books & magazines it seems “Sustainable Design” get’s focused on green, yellow, brown, round shaped and friendly – looking objects wrapped up in a brown paper box.
What happend with the whole colour range; is it really that mean use glossy-black finishing and sharp edged objetcts? KITT looked evil, but he belonged to the good one’s.
FEEL FREE TO DROP ME SOME LINES educate & help me to understand these tendencies or show me cool black sustainable stuff, desired & undiscovered by myself.
I’m looking forward to your comments, singing along with the Standells:
“… so tell your Mama and your Papa, sometimes good boys don’t wear white.”

¡SAL!
¡SAL! (spanish, salt; with exclamation mark: Get out!) is the memorabilia of the Industrial Design Class 07-09 at EscoLa Massana. It was a class-intern-competition and I won (!) a lot of work…
A right pinch of salt is as important for a delicious dish as a good designer for objects. In the last two years the polyurethane foam was our most important material making our ideas real, dusted air our daily oxygen, the crunchy sound eating a sandwich quite familiar… Most of us (some happy, others with sad eyes and a big piece of foam in their hands) are looking into a future of virtual 3D sketches in a very clean and dust-free workplace. ¡SAL! should remember us from where we come from and at the same time help us putting the right ingredients in our upcoming designs.
The foam-dust-cellar consists of a off-the-shelf recipient in four different kind of colors and a special designed polyurethane lid painted in another six colors. A simple sticker with the message: ¡SAL!UD AMOR DISEÑO inspired in the spanish “cheers” (¡Salud, amor y dinero!=Health, love & money!) serves as a seal. All of the foam-dust-cellars contain the same ingredient and best wishes for the future, but the colors make each of them unique just as everyone in our class.
Limited edtition of 23 foam dust cellar.
Helping Hand Special Edtion: containig gold·silver·foam dust exclusive for Dani, Pam, Katia y Ricardo.

Picknick aus GrĂĽnem (picnic out of nature)
It was autumn, soon thanksgiving… I was alone with Mother Nature. I looked around and there were some apples to eat, a brook with potable water, something with a little bit of work could have covered my feet and my body (In the end I decided to stick to my “pumas” and let the cow alive…)…
More or less everything, we eat, wear, use comes out of and goes back to nature. Most of the times, especially living in a city, it’s easy to loose the connection between the end-product and the row material; even now studying product design I often get lost. I wanted to represent that relationship – or call it – life circle of man and nature with that woven picnic scene.
It’s a pity that I didn’t stay there till the end of the process of decomposition.

Some years ago on a stormy and grey december day I watched two girls doing this great work of art just in front of the Tate Modern. I enjoyed a lot watching them fighting against the wind, writing with dried leaves on the floor!
If you know them, tell them they did something very beautiful and it helped me to believe once again that everything can be possible!
