http://seanknibb.blogspot.com/2011/01/inscrutability-of-chairs.html

Wednesday, January 12, 2011. The Inscrutability of Chairs (and Other Mysteries). It all begins with. He is the man often credited with helping to bring Eastern philosophy into the Western consciousness. His critics accused him of trying to demystify mystical experience. How so? By writing about it. In particular, for writing things like this:. The task and delight of [art] is to say what cannot be said, to eff the ineffable, and to unscrew the inscrutable. Take the chair: What is a chair?

Knibb: White Flights

http://seanknibb.blogspot.com/2011/01/white-flights.html

Saturday, January 22, 2011. White, like black, always works: Ever flexible, always relevant for whatever the circumstances or culture. As the universal symbol of opulence and purity, it's. The Taj Mahal and the bride. The quintessential Ferrari will always be red. But the Rolls Royce, it owns the white. A white room is the picture of serenity, a place for serious and elegant contemplation, for deep breaths and clearing minds. One not befitting ex-husbands or children. And all that it implies;.

Knibb: In Praise of Three

http://seanknibb.blogspot.com/2011/01/in-praise-of-three.html

The descriptive word he used was delamination. Like layers coming apart. In interior design, Clarke and Reilly use this concept to great effect in the way they allow layers to show through (see previous post. Below, bringing that same delamination to two three-legged versions of the classic Eames chair: c. 1944.

Knibb: The Theater of Carlo Mollino

http://seanknibb.blogspot.com/2010/07/theater-of-carlo-mollino.html

Friday, July 2, 2010. The Theater of Carlo Mollino. A theater chair (ca.1951) by Turinese designer Carlo Mollino. From the RAI Auditorium. In the tradition of Italian artists with outsized characters, Mollino's life was the stuff of early-century matinees: As well as a designer of furniture, architecture, and race cars, he was also a skilled pilot, skier, racing driver, and occult enthusiast. And then there were those racy Polaroids. A table with a hint of Enzo Mari. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
