mutatoes, a project by uli westphal
During my Berlin visit, two weeks ago, I came across a young artist called Uli Westphal. He had a stand at a farmers market at the Kollwitzplatz, but the produce he was showing looked awfully strange. It was the moment where I was introduced to the wonderfully strange world of Mutatoes: A collection of non-standard fruits, roots and vegetables found at Berlins Super-and Farmers Markets. Uli’s project serves to document and archive these last survivors of biological variety. View the mutatoes collection.
I am completely hooked! I truly hope Uli will sell posters of the collection overview.

lady’s first | hotel zurich
Staying in Zurich anytime soon? Just found a design hotel that looks inviting… Lady’s first. (No worries, guys can stay there too!)
sofa & bunkbed in one
Wow, this design totally blows my mind: The Doc XL: Sofa & Bunkbed In One
The Doc XL is a sofa that fiips up into a bunkbed and requires “a simple gesture and no physical strain.” You don’t even have to take the sheets off of the beds before restoring it to sofa config. It is available through that august outfit, Bonbon Trading, from the UK.

briol: a place to relax
” Briol is a very special holiday destination tucked away in the Isarco Valley above Barbiano, Italy. It’s family owned—in fact, the current owner’s grandmother built the Briol house and imposed a few rules which had to be respected: No fences, never sell the house, and maintain a constant respect for the land and nature that surrounds us.”
