The brilliant Yayoi Kusama x Louis Vuitton collaboration - pop-up shop inside Selfridge’s on Oxford Street in London.
A two-part exhibition called Past Futures, Present, Futures opened its second phase—Present, Futures—tonight at Storefront for Art and Architecture, exploring contemporary “reenactments” of classic architectural images, specifically showcasing new versions of “101 unrealized proposals for New York City, dating from its formation to today.”
With exhibition design by Leong Leong, the resulting space is silvered, gleaming, and literally reflective, a curved maze of mirrored blinds.

Spain is one of the largest producers of olive oil in the world, hence it is not surprising that the best ever cruet design is by Rafael Marquina, a catalan architect and sculptor, and it is been in the market since the early 60s. No dripping and no mess guaranteed. It is probably one of the most famous Spanish industrial designs.
Ruby Helmets
The Pavillon collection are jet helmets made of carbon fiber, a technology inherited from aerospace to guarantee maximum strength combined with a featherweight quality. It features the backbone of Knight-inspired helmets, a chrome strip that borders the edge of the helmet, and its interior of burgundy nappa lambskin recalls the aesthetics of a luxury vintage car.

This colorful book series is from the ongoing exhibition of Tauba Auerbach at Bergen Kunsthall, called Tetrachromat. It will be open untill next 22th December, at Bergen Kunsthall, Bergen.
“The title of the exhibition plays on the notion of ‘tetrachromatic’ vision. People normally perceive the world around them trichromatically (in three colours). Humans have three types of receptor for the perception of colour with varying sensitivities: red, green and blue. A new theory exists that there may be a small percentage of people (only women) who have a fourth colour receptor, which makes them ‘tetrachromatic’. In order to play on such ideas of a fourth component which, if it could be proven, would radically change our view of the world, Auerbach employs two analogies in this exhibition – the spatial (the idea of a fourth dimension) and the spectral (a fourth colour spectrum).
Tauba Auerbach has long worked with different types of book production. Recently these have developed into independent sculptural works that continue Auerbach’s research on multidimensionality and the importance of colour for spatiality. She presents several new book sculptures in this exhibition, and in a way these function as manuals for thinking about the project by constantly revolving around the question “How can we imagine what is impossible to sense?””
