super super indeed.
The act of a single line can never be undone; it can only be improved. There were no erasers allowed in my art class, for that, I am thankful. The gesture to conceive, create and dream could never be undone. Design is an evolving, revolving, exciting and enticing act. We see, we respond, we act, we think, we dream. Ultimately, the role of the designer is to inspire and engage, and to encourage the second line to be drawn, never disregarding the first. This is a conversation with lines.

Broken down, a simple grid of vertical and horizontal illuminated lines, together with standard-issue clothes horses. Yet together, and afar, this is highly reminiscent of the workings of a subway map. Through mirrors and illumination, this space is given layers and depth beyond the materiality of its context.

come play...
A human net (by Numan) for adults to frolic in... I can hear (withheld) and slightly shameful adult 'I-shouldn't-be-this-excited-about-something-so-juvenile' excitement....
It's true, adult-sized fun. Embodied in a trapeze type, free-hanging (and forming) net, web-like and unstructured. a place to lose oneself. selfish indulgent loss. we all want this, in some hidden, some out loud, way.
I love that this exists, even if temporary in nature, ephemeral and even fantasias...
to dine for...
Further fuelling my fetish for the forceful... this Spanish cafe by MSB is my concrete epitome of considered completeness. The strong tensile lines of the steel bar and booths against the robustness of the heavy and heaving concrete walls and floors, is the perfect counterpart. Like the protective older brother, I can hear these two contriving.
I am once again, drawn to the beauty of the lines of this space; the way in which new lines are formed through natural elements; the sun, streaming, filigree-esquely, through the thin wire shutters, is effortless. And of course, the mindful treatment of the tactic, at the human scale. Very handsome.
I wouldn't mind a chai or a contemplative moment in this space...
