Rörstrand – Swedish Design Since 1726

For almost 300 years Rörstrand has been synonymous with quality and fine craftsmanship. Their plates and tableware have been handed down from generation to generation and become heirlooms, classics and collectors’ items that have written themselves into Swedish design history. Perhaps this is because they have always understood that quality goes beyond mere durability and functionality.
The touch of Antique Carpets

Once created out of necessity to keep out the cold and damp, carpets eventually came to signify wealth and adorned the buildings of royalty and the rich. Carpet designs tended to reflect the history and culture of the region they were created in. Traditionally these carpets sometimes took many months, even years to create, but now the process is much faster, even with those that are still made by hand.
“Starburst: Color Photography In America 1970–1980″

Black and white photography is such a relic of another age that it is hard to imagine, as recently as the 1970s, the art world’s hostility to color. William Eggleston’s Color Photographs, for example, the first one-man show of color work at the Museum of Modern Art in 1976, was considered the worst exhibit of the year. Hilton Kramer repudiated John Szarkowski, the museum’s curator of photography, for throwing caution to the wind when he spoke of Eggleston’s work as “perfect.” “Perfect?” Kramer wrote in The New York Times. “Perfectly banal, perhaps. Perfectly boring, certainly.” Of course Eggleston would become one of the most influential photographers of the era.

Andy Smith’s Graphic Work

Andy Smith’s work embraces modern technology and he combines it with a knowledge of print techniques and drawing. His characters are a concoction of humour and events with a heavy pinch of strong typography and copywriting skills.
Having won multiple awards like the D&AD, AOI and Creative Circle awards and apart from his impressive client list, he delights us further on a tender night with a fine coctail of some of his self-published and beautifully illustrated silkscreen prints and books on his website.
Silhouette paper cutting

Silhouettes are also known as paper cuttings and shadows. Long before photography was invented, our ancestors used to have portraits of themselves taken sideways. They were called silhouette portraits and they were not taken with a camera, but were cut out of thin black paper, and stck upon a white card.While the aristocrats were having their silhouettes cut out and eating like kings much of Europe was starving, especially in France. In the 1760’s the Finance Minister of France, Etienne de Silhouette , had crippled the French people with his merciless tax polices. Oblivious to his people’s plight, Etienne was much more interested in his hobby of cutting out paper profiles, the latest fad.
