Studien nach der Natur (Studies After Nature) by German artist Bergbauer is an archive of 665 photographs of 152 different rock forms that were found at the roadside. Bergbauer photographed them from various perspectives and arranged them, by “form and applicability.” Each of the plates are presented on solid off white backgrounds and are based on the compositional criteria of the form of the object and positioning of the objects within Bergbauer’s defined space.
Waito’s small oil paintings on masonite, measuring roughly 5x6 inches, of crystals and minerals are absolutely stunning. The renderings demand a double take to see if they are photos because of the meticulous detail and depth of field. These are from the series “Little Crowns” shown at Narwhal Art Projects in Toronto last year.
In the studio we are still in awe of the Raw Color project we posted before. These images show attempts to apply some of the strongest pigment made with “juice cartridges”. These inkjet prints are done with (C) Red Cabbage, (M) Beetroot and (Y) Pumpkin. Caused by the irregular juice flow, the inkjet created a unique stripe pattern in every print. How the Dutch duo managed to create cyan ink with red cabbage we don’t know, but for initial attempts these results are amazing.

An absolutely amazing project, Raw Color is a collaboration between designers Christoph Brach and Daniera ter Haar in Holland. They dismantle and purify vegetables to their visual essence ‘raw color’. The harvested color is captured by a new process preserving their intensity on color cards. Categorized by shades and families a new map is created which shows their beautiful diversity. This projects reinterprets the vegetable and puts it into new context.

From his series The Parade, these shots have a Todd Hido feel to them, but are more invasive. Born in Tel Aviv, Kander is a London based photographer, artist and director, internationally renowned for his portraiture and landscapes.
We are big fans of what our friends Kursi are making in Lancashire. The furniture, all designed and made in England, evokes classic work by the likes of Robin Day and Paul McCobb. They employ traditional, time-honoured joinery and upholstery methods to produce contemporary pieces of furniture - and every single one of their products is made-to-order. This day bed lounger and sideboard are stunning examples of their passion for hand-made craftsmanship and penchant for all things mid-C20th. We can’t wait to see more.
