Francis Prève

We all value pristine 808 and 909 drum samples, but I also like having a folder stacked with lo-fi, cheap sounding drums. Francis Prève’s Mattel Synsonics samples are just like that, noisy, dirty, and awesome.

Hello world kalakar

The Lectori Salutem Desk by Jeroen Verhoeven epitomizes luxury and quality craftsmanship. Unabashedly opulent, Lectori Salutem Desk is on display at the Blain|Southern gallery in London. The  Lectori Salutem Desk has been inspired from the profiles of two of  Jeroen’s studio colleagues – his twin brother Joep Verhoeven and Judith de Graauw. Also seeking inspiration from hand-drawn sketches of 19th-century French cabinetmaker Francois Linke, the desk is makes for an unforgettable artistic statement. Says the designer: “Lectori Salutem thus tells the story of its own creation, allowing the viewer an insight into the physical construction of the work, as well as providing a highly personal link with its makers. Verhoeven sees this as an essential element of Demakersvan’s output: ‘We are storytellers, from fantasy to factory, from statement to product’. We keep showing you interesting architectural designs and while most of these modern homes are built on land today we have something special for those of you that would rather live in a houseboat instead. The Silberfish Hausboot project, created by Flo Florian and Sascha Akkerman, or Confused Direction Design, is a modern home that floats on the river or lake of your choosing. Simply dock this baby in your local bay or harbor and enjoy the life at sea. Once inside you’ll notice the Silberfish is even more appealing than you would have hoped as we’re truly looking at the kind of modern home one would have a hard time refusing. thanks Confused Direction

thanks
