Vacant Manifestation





Furniture Rick Owens

Moving day is approaching and I realized 'I have nothing'. Therefore, I'll pursue the brutalist way and built a neverending temporary installation with clothes, books and magazines.

Nomadic Couple





Artworks Christopher Wierling



A fragile addition to our investigation on twins in contemporary art. Flowers attached on parallel strings. Leading to and embedded in mirrored blocks of concrete.

Would Could



1. Hyllie Water Tower, Sweden
2. 1931 Water Tower, Zecc Architects, The Netherlands

Unfortunate in finding a moderate living space. Repeatedly confronted with identically renovated, mass-market compliant apartments. While only yearning for a pure, strictly functional space.

Horst Decoration, Issue 2




1. Nesting Coffee Table Frederick Kiesler, Posters Bruce Weber
2. Table Josef Hoffmann, Clock Henry van de Velde, Satyr statue DesiderĂ­o da Firenze
3. Urinal Marcel Duchamp, Image Helmut Lang

Welcome to my brutalist home. Strictly dominated by clinical surfaces. Concrete, metal, steel and stone. A marbelous bathroom with ready-made urinal. A Bruce Weber poster wall and an erotic satyr statue adding warmth and depth.

And Then






The Prodigy - Firestarter 1996

Back to the original. The self-repetitive hardcore of techno grunge. A video that concurrently conveyed subculture into pop culture. Bringing back the faded memory of a pierced and hedonistic MTV generation. Formerly including myself.

Suggestion #7


Bauhaus architecture model

Living in a strictly square, cold and clinical concrete box is my idea of perfect architecture. Concrete walls, concrete floors. White furniture, steel kitchen. Emptiness and some flea market findings.

Material





Balenciaga Fall/Winter 2010

A piece of newspaper wafting through the streets. Ripped and layered advertisments on a concrete pillar. Construction sites, structured pavement plates. The woman transformed into a monument of urban circuits.

Wishlist 10


House of depth by Kouichi Kimura Architects

A concrete house. Rough and cold. Minimal cubes, open floor, industrial materials. Yes, I want.

HorSTYLE Lesson No8

The contradiction of concrete and wood, of sleek and rough design inspired me for this new edition of HorSTYLE Lesson. After all the bright colors and extrordinary patterns, the return to minimalism. Easy, soft and quiet.
