STORM THORGERSON

"I like photography  because it  is a reality medium,  unlike  drawing which  is unreal.  I like to

mess with reality...to bend reality" Storm Thorgerson.

MAISON MARTIN MARGIELA HOME LINE

Via Hypebeast.. The venerable Maison Martin Margiela brand is set to branch out in a lifestyle

driven project  with  the  upcoming  launch of their  Home Line.   Long having  created custom

houseware-style pieces to enhance his retail  locations,  a full-out launch into a Home Line will

offer buyers the ability to  re-create the essence  of MMM in  the  confines of  their  own home.

Among  the initial launch  products are wallpaper, bookshelves,  lamps  and carpets. Some talk

has  also  suggested  pairing  MMM’s  design  with  various  hotels  and  restaurants  to further

promote a strong visual aesthetic.

NITEROI CONTEMPORARY ART MUSEUM

Designed by  Oscar Niemeyer with the assistance of structural  engineer Bruno Contarini, who

had worked  with Niemeyer on earlier projects,  the MAC-Niterói  is 16 meters high; its cupola

has a  diameter of 50 meters with three floors. The  museum  projects itself over Boa Viagem

(“Bon Voyage,”  “Good Journey”),     the 817-square  meter  reflecting  pool that surrounds the

cylindrical  base  “like a flower,”  in the words  of  Niemeyer.  The  saucer-shaped  modernist 

structure,  which has  been likened to a UFO,  is set on a cliffside, at the bottom of which is a

beach.  In the film Oscar Niemeyer,  an architect  committed  to his  century  (Marc Henri 

Wajnberg, 2000),  Niemeyer  is seen  flying over Rio de Janeiro in a UFO, which then lands on

the site, suggesting this as the origin of the museum.

FERRARI 308 GT

The 308 GT made it's debut at  the  Paris  and  London  shows  in 1975.  Built to a Pininfarina 

design  by Scaglietti.  The  first  models  boasted fiberglass coachwork. An especially attractive

line and top class performance on the road guaranteed success for this great car.
