Re: New objects
Earlier today I discovered that one of my heroes died last month.

I am feeling very sad because I have admired Ettore Sottsass and his work since I was about 14 years old ....when I discovered my passion for architecture and design at my high school library.

I am fortunate that I own several pieces of furniture by him.
His objects have given me much joy in my life. I always had a secret fantasy that I might one day commission him to design a house for me ....but it was not meant to be.

Arrivederci Ettore



ETTORE SOTTSASS JR.
14 September 1917 – 31 December 2007

Re: New objects
So Sorry he is gone Boli, his work is beautiful.


Here's another string of objects ( many old many new) from Designer Eva Zeisel.

I have a weird connection with this lady's work. Some time ago I was dreaming of my Grandma ( she passed away long time ago), and she was giving me a wrapped gift. I woke up before I could open it at around 4 AM.
I could not sleep so I pickup up a magazine that had an article abaout Eva Zeisel with examples of her work, Low and behold I see a familiar set of dishes ( my grandma's).

Next day I call my mom, and ask her if she still had those particular gradma's dishes. She says she did, and to me astonishement describes how they came about.
My grandma FOUND , yes found them, next to a trash can in our posh neighborhood as she took me out for a stroll when I was just a baby. My mom brought them over during her recent Christmas visit They are now treasured objects

Eva is still alive, she turned 101 in Nov of last year!!!

her work consists of everyday "warm and sensual" objects.

This is only part of her work, take a look and enjoy!

Re: New objects
Beyond Functionalism

The Modernists measured the quality of a design by how well it performed its practical purpose -- its function. In our post-modern world, this no longer is a realiable way to guage the value of good design.

What if the main purpose of a design object is not a practical function but a purely aesthetic one?

As contemporary art has become less concerned about aesthetics (form and beauty), and more about ideas, statements, and contexts, the design world has increasingly moved into realms once reserved for high sculpture.

Most of the major art museums now also house large collections of contemporary design.

Art has always been a social barometer of human civilisations ....today, product design has emerged as [perhaps] the dominant expression of human culture.

Collectors are now prepared to pay the kinds of prices for important and rare contemporary design objects, one would once only expect to pay for fine art.

“Banquet” daybed by Maria Pergay sold for $421,000 at auction in 2007.



“D” sofa by Ron Arad sold for $409,000


Fernando & Humberto Campana's "Sushi" sofa sold at auction for $253,000.


Enameled aluminium bench (Prototype) by Zaha Hadid $52,800


"Woosh" sofa by Zaha Hadid, from 1986, sold at auction in 2007 for $144,000.


A pair of shelves from Andrea Branzi's 1991 "Amnesie" collection sold for $55,200


Does the fine line between
Art and Design even exist?

That aircraft interior is off the scale. Speaking of aviation I want this clock on my desk at this very moment.
