Complementary Goods

1. Piet Hein, Ursa Major Candelabra
2. Bengt Rosenström, Rammsjö Sideboard

The interior of my apartment solely constitutes itself of piled magazines. A hybrid between gallery and book shop, hence the particular need of furniture. An almost endless process of research and consideration.

Continuum

Furniture Hay

I've seen various pieces separately before but never in entire context. Powder coloured still lifes in marble, wood, mirror and steel. Now I need to find the appropriate dosage of Hay for my own habitat.

Wanderlust

1. Gerhard Richter 'Mountains' 1968
2. Lanvin Fall/Winter 2010
3. Christopher Shannon Spring/Summer 2011
4. Gaetano Pesce 'Montanara' couch

I got lost in the monotone mountain world of Gerhard Richter. A wanderer in the mood for water-repellent Gore-Tex and neoprene. But it was just a quantum mirage. In reality, I got lost in crinkled white sheets.

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.

1. Bocca sofa Studio 65, Stripper pole X-Pole Buttplug Paul McCarthy
2. Sculpture Hans Arp , Sheepskin IKEA
3. Table Allen Jones, Glass lipstick Kosta Boda, Chaise longue Jean Prouvé

Welcome to my future home, located at the red light district. A 1891 building dominated by white walls, wooden floors and an explicit atrium view. Endowed with suggestive furniture that pays homage to its surrounding.

Desired #9

Ploum Sofa Ronan & Erwan Bouroullec

This time I need your opinion. Would you approve a gigantic soft 3D tea biscuit as the visual centre of my future living room? Does it succeed as alternative to the Acne New Berlin sofa?
/HORST

Horst Decoration, Issue 5

1. Marble chair Marc Newson, Prickly Lamp Lucy McRae
2. Plexiglass table Pierre Cardin, Painting Alberto Abate
3. Chain carpet Adrien Rovero

Welcome to my irrational dream home. Where gravitation is inexistent and proportions are abandoned. A 4-dimensional place occupied by flying chain rugs and supersized furniture insects. Visitors become surrealist paintings once they find themselves lost within the myriad corridors and staircases.

Post Paris XII

A false encyclopaedic guide to the prêt-à-porter collections for Spring/Summer 2012.
Last chapter: Hussein Chalayan

1. Hussein Chalayan Spring/Summer 2012
2. Ann Demeulemeester Store Seoul
3. Cabinet 1700-1720

It almost felt like a 'best of' collection. The greatest hits of a designer who removed himself from the label he built. The garments reflected this last consequence and gave insight to the laws of fashion. The end.

Monolythic III

1. Stella McCartney Fall/Winter 2011

2. Oskar Zieta Plopp stool



The anti-fur, pro-vegan mash-up of Jeff Koons and Isa Genzken. Polished silver plates, crunched. Presumably non-disposable, non-recyclable. Foreverwear. The perfect addition to any private collection.

Horst Decoration, Issue 4

1. Mirrored chest of drawers Robert Morris, Draped plexiglass chair Unknown

2. Wall piece John McCracken, Chair Marcello Morandini, Shelf installation Casey Kaplan Gallery, Lamp Achille Castiglioni

3. Bleach on cotton jersey Heather Cook, Record player Dieter Rams, Trash Me Lamp Victor Vetterlein



Welcome to my temporary home. Located in a dirty side street. Cheap materials, randomly placed. Dysfunctional electronic equipment, plastic and papier mâché furniture. Dear and true to a new WTF DIY mentality.

Theoreticially Spoken

1. Moroso, front sofa
2. Christian Brandt
3. Moroso, cushion sofa

Unpolished. Nonchalance. As if there was no purpose, no form. Rigidly built to convey fluidity. While maintaining its spontaneous shape forever. Thus, it achieves what life has been failing in.

Horst Decoration, Issue 3

1. Kast sideboard Vitra, Tropicalia chair Moroso, Vases Olivier Gagnère
2. Sofa Moroso x Diesel, Candles Maison Martin Margiela, Lamps Tom Dixon
3. Bed frame IKEA, Wooden clogs and butterfly collection Vintage

Welcome to my sister's home. Dipped in soft bubble gum and sorbet colours. An ode to the Fifties and Sixties in hues of pink, pistachio and moss green. Op-art surfaces confronted with post-conceptual irony.
/HORST

Horst Decoration, Issue 1

1. New Berlin Sofa Acne, Door Wallpaper Maison Martin Margiela
2. Bottle Dryer as chandelier Marcel Duchamps, Venus with Drawers Salvador Dalí
3. Quaderna Table Zanotta, Pineapple Glass Lamp La Maison

Welcome to my surrealist home. Strictly dominated by trompe l'œil furniture. A fake wallpaper door. An optically deformed sofa. A Venus sculpture with drawers. Main materials include concrete, tiles and marble à la Jil Sander FW08.

Thin Line

Furniture Acne

After a disappointing 'no sale' shopping day I escaped into the mysterious and rather addictive voids of online shopping. The virtual shopping cart remained empty but I rediscovered another object of desire.

Suggestion #9

Noguchi table, 1944

Life wouldn't be complete without a Japanese classic. Black triangular shapes creating the optical illusion of lightness and floatation. And always remember: the joy of giving is priceless.

Renewal

Shelf system String

I am feeling the need for a new shelf system to replace my common example of furniture democracy. As I am a collector of heavy magazines, I am not quite sure yet which kind would suit my needs best? Any suggestions?
/HORST

Lipstick

Isn't this image pairing symptomatic for Lynn & Horst? Traces of lipstick on a boy's shoulder. And a voluptuous lips sofa. I always loved this one. Soft kisses on your behind.
/HORST

Tables

Top Alain Gilles, Big Table for Bonaldo
Bottom Diego Rivera, Table on a Cafe Terrace, 1915

I just love the fact that every element, every shape and every shade is aesthetically connected. The world consists of countless variations of beauty that can be divided into a few basic principles. It only needs something as profane as a table to decode reality.
/HORST

Paradox

Furniture Maison Martin Margiela

The new Margiela interior range. The used and the useless. Trompe l’œil furniture and smudgy white painted surfaces. Good to know that spray-painting cheap vintage founds is all you need to live the off-white illusion of MMM luxury.
/HORST

Carpet Ride

Design Wendy Plomp

Cardboard carpets, I have to say 'I die!'. So unpretentious, decent and adorably unpolished. I love the roughness and imagine it to be perfect in adding industrial coziness to my concrete floor phantasies.
