new carlo mollino book & exhibition

Carlo Mollino

Lago Nero Ski-Lift

Turin

1947

Here is some more 

Walther König 

booty:

"Mollino: Maniera Moderna"

This is a MUST have book for Mollino freaks,

tons of stuff you haven't seen before, and a bit of a different 

approach from the other dealer driven and 

hero-worshiper tomes.

Not surprising since it

was the last exhibition

by 

Chris Dercon 

during run at 

Haus der Kunst

in München, Germany.

You can see

 "Carlo Mollino: Maniera Moderna" 

thru January 8th, 2012.

Anyone up for a road trip???

back to the future: tom dixon's modular furniture

Tom Dixon

"T-Shelf"

For David Gill New Galleries

London

1999

I was rootin' and tootin' 

through some more old nest magazines

looking for the original publishing of 

Tom Sachs' "Bitch Lounge"

and found it in Issue #7

from 1999.

I also found the above and below....

These are the drawer units from 

the modular series.

Dixon was Habitat's Head of Design UK

at the time.

These are some of the graphic from the article.

An illustration of 

a variation of the

"T-Shelf"

"T-Bench"

"T-Bed"

My favorite, the "T-Chair".

Sorry the images are a bit shit,

I left my good camera at work.

These are stickers that nest printed so you could build your own

"T-Furniture" on the cover of the magazine.

Nest was doing that shit all the time.

Brilliant.

Remember that Beck CD with the stickers?

Hummm.....
