It Could At Least Have a Toilet
I’m getting bored with the Zaha Hadid hype, so I thought i’d ignore Ideal House at Cologne. But the whole world is blogging about it, and almost nothing else from the fair. Futuristico-morphologic-whatnot architecture is interesting up to the point where you forget about toilets and farting from time to time. That’s untill I discovered Naoto Fukasawa’s ideal house. Brilliant and modest at the same time.

Bone Furniture by Joris Laarman
It reminds you of Ross Lovegrove but it’s by Joris Laarman, the daring Dutch that likes to give Mies Van Der Rohe headaches in his coffin. We’re definitely going to need a new term for this kind of design : post-digitalism ?
