STORE OF THE MONTH: SAUTTER + LACKMANN / HAMBURG

Thursday, May 17, 2012

In Germany, we sort of take it for granted that every bigger city has at least one traditional art book store to satisfy your craving for printed matter in art, design, architecture and photography. They are usually run by grey-haired men in cardigans and thick glasses, or ladies smelling of cheap perfume, who all know [...]

Henrik Vibskov, the omnipresent ‘Mehrfachkünstler’ is already at a stage to present his first retrospective in the form of a book. The ingenius designer expanded the notion of fashion, while working towards an artistic ideal of freedom.

A Celebration of Creativity, Culture & Cuisine

Sunday, April 22, 2012

But that’s not happening, at least for this Sunday. So we better make the best out of what we’re left with (which [...]

The word to cure the world. A praise for Broken Dimanche Press

Monday, April 2, 2012

In the beginning was the word and the man didn’t know how to use it.
Expelled from Paradise, he kept erratically wandering, expanding and populating, while the world grew old, hurt and tired. The dawn of the days approaches, unless we look for the cure.
The administration of prescribed word compounds, in exact and very precise quantities [...]

STORE OF THE MONTH: ATHENAEUM / AMSTERDAM

Wednesday, March 28, 2012

Athenaeum is something of a wet dream for anyone who is even faintly interested in books and magazines. A proper bookstore with over 50,000 titles in stock, established in 1996 on Spui square in the heart of Amsterdam, they included a Nieuwscentrum a few years later, which has pretty much everything in terms of periodicals [...]
