by Nicholas Taylor
As a close friend and fellow band member of the free-form musical combo GRAY, photographer and producer Nicholas “ DJ High Priest” Taylor had the rare privilege to follow the early years of Jean-Michel Basquiat’s artistic career.
The extraordinary photographic series presented in the book, accompanied by ten highly personal essays extracted from Nicholas Taylor’s diaries, offers an intimate and candid insight into the life of the young Jean-Michel Basquiat as well as an atmospheric portrait of the wild creativity erupting from the New York downtown scene of 1979.

Throne Sofa With Upholstery

Sofas

A unique face cleansing bar with Icelandic herbs and volcanic ash. The bar has two purposes and two sides: use the light colored side for a more gentle, daily cleanse. This side contains botanical oils infused with Icelandic and Asian herbs, shea butter, vitamin E, oats and pink clay. Use the darker side for a more exfoliating (yet gentle) cleanse. It contains yucca root and volcanic ash from Eyjafallajokull.
Directions for use: Apply wet soap bar directly to the face & neck, using round circular motions. For a gentle everyday cleanse, use the lighter side, and for more exfoliation use the darker side.
Handmade in Iceland.

For his Nichetto collection for De La Espada, Luca Nichetto has been reimagining the design language of 1950s American furniture. Kim, a family of nested items including two tables and a bench, is a case in point. Available as a set or as stand alone pieces, the three items in the Kim family share common materials, while each having their own distinct form. Simple but with a strong sense of character, Kim’s finished wooden surfaces straddle the boundaries between the natural and the manmade.

Plethora Magazine Issue #8

PLANEfurniture emerges out of the idea that form should inspire; and these forms should function effortlessly. How does one suspend a body in air? Minimalism with character. Although there is rigor and formalism in the planning of PLANEfurniture, the finished pieces are casual, pleasing, and human-friendly. How we sit and how we see design is at the root of this collection. Sophistication and refinement do not preclude modesty and abbreviation. There is a deep pleasure that can be derived from simplicity. There can be a truly luxurious feeling aroused by humble handmade objects. There is a timeless dimension to PLANEfurniture. It attempts to echo the pioneering works of the modernist, avant-garde designers; yet it is contemporary, as all good ideas are. The furniture and objects from PLANEfurniture, because of their neutral forms and minimal physical and psychological space they occupy, coexist seamlessly with other good designs - even objects from an entirely different visual vocabulary, country of origin, or era.
PLANEfurniture is an idea whose time has come: the concept is to create unfussy, beautiful furniture that makes you think, holds your body, eases your mind, and sits well within your budget. Four series - the PLANKseries, WEDGEseries, BLOCKseries, and RODseries - round out the indoor/outdoor roster of planar wood and steel rod designs. The results are pieces that can populate any domestic interior and rekindle the pleasure of simplicity. PLANEfurniture is in the permanent collections of SFMOMA, The Palm Springs Museum, and the Univesity of California, Santa Barbara (ADC, Architecture and Design Collection, Gebhard Archives).

The WEDGE series has a softer, more traditional character and may see wider distribution as a result. Slatted lounge chairs, ottomans and benches are christened Arrowhead for the profile of their members, and mahogany versions have a strong affinity to the classic Adirondack patio furniture. The differences are equally significant. Arrowhead pieces are like a well-tailored jacket of rough tweed: rugged yet refined, familiar in outline but elegantly detailed and much more compact than traditional models. A lounge chair has a corded back and seat, and the holes for the cords are staggered to create a subtle pattern around the edges. A sidechair appears at first glance to be a sensuous version of the PLANK chair, until you notice the details: a flared back that is rounded to conform to the width of the seat, and then flares out below like a well-cut shirt-waister. And the wedge supports differ in width from front to back, establishing a rhythm in the profile of the chair.

by Adam Jeppesen
In Tremolo signifies the final stage of Adam Jeppesen’s expansive Flatlands Camp Project. Based on the 487 day photographic journey from pole to pole and five years of artistic endeavour, the book marks the conclusion of an extraordinary voyage into a world of ethereal landscapes devoid of any finite markers.
The all-pervading visual noise from dust and scratches on the negatives continue to cloud the transparency of the motifs and fundamentally alters their expression. The grainy and desecrated images become fragmentary portraits of a reverberating terrestrial surface that sends vibrations through its impressions, like visual music. As a poem composed of images In Tremolo presents a vision of the terrestrial landscape from a vaporous, almost planetary perspective.

The Trio series is a tectonic exploration where the composition of the table legs is the design focal point. The tables stand on three legs, with each leg attached to another leg with an intermediate horizontal substructure. The tables express a purity of form and material, with the unexpected design focus under the table, where an intricately composed lattice work brings a hidden elegance to the otherwise simple and unassuming table ensemble.
