Belgian artist Louis De Cordier’s library in the Sierra Nevada - the high mountains of Spanish Andalusia - preserves important knowledge for future generations. Today, the project called ‘Biblioteca del Sol’ houses thousands of books and even a collection of seeds. The library hopes to stand as an inspiring symbol of the human aspirations, emphasizing sustainability as a core theme.

Like a plunge into the cinematic aroma of Hong Kong, this object decorates the room with tales from the Far East.

String

The first String System® was designed in 1949. It has since evolved from groundbreaking concept to one of the most loved pieces of classic Scandinavian design. Each component is so well thought-through that a near-infinite variety of combinations is possible. Thanks to the slim panels, it’s possible to create a shelf large enough for any number of books and objects, while still maintaining a light appearance.

Martin Parr

Before Martin Parr retired from leading his popular workshops, he held a final session last summer at the Magnum Print Room in London. Over one weekend, Martin worked with fifteen participants, critiquing and developing their respective bodies of work, their creative practices and their artistic identities. But it was more than just your average educational workshop, as Martin opened up his studio to the group, explaining exactly how he works and revealing many of his trial-tested tricks of the trade. The entire experience was taped and is being made available on Vimeo. The weekend workshop, cut down to just under two hours, is pure Martin Parr -- a uniquely edifying experience from the visual master of the ridiculous, the mundane and the ridiculously mundane.
