i like my surroundings simple. i don’t know why but i always keep going back to black and white. a play on fuzziness.

Posted in art, inspiration by katherinemae on October 18, 2010

around the middle of the nineteenth century, austrian furniture manufacturer michael thonet devised new techniques which made the fabrication of the so-called ‘wiener geflecht’ possible. best known from the famous bentwood thonet chairs, it has become a classic in cafés all over the world.

chair from a viennese fleamarket cost 5€ and came with a plushy pink velvet cushion.

B’s NOT FOR BERLIN

Time passes quickly if you’re not paying attention. It probably didn’t help that I’ve been hobbling around with a broken foot the last few weeks. So better late than never I’m sharing some photographs from my trip to Budapest in late august. It was the perfect mix of lang walks, sipping lemonade in the sun and dancing all night in a rooftop club.

Budapest is my absolute all time favourite city hands down. Everytime I go, I fall a bit more in love with it. There is so much creativity to soak up and inspiration abound, although for me it’s mostly the rough contrasts and general great atmosphere that make me come back. I’ll spare you touristy pictures, to be true, I don’t even take them anymore. It’s always the best to explore a city off the beaten track.

So, tell me a bit about you! I’m curious, what’s your favourite city?
