L'ippocampo

Furnitecture, furniture - architecture, la fusione tra l'arredo e l'architettura. Un nuovo approccio all'interior design, che sposa le forme più innovative di "micro-architettura" con il design industriale. Oggi, gli spazi interni vengono via via trasformati da un'ampia serie di nuovi oggetti, che vanno dagli arredi alle invenzioni architettoniche su piccola scala. Sull'onda del design digitale e delle nuove possibilità manifatturiere, un numero sempre maggiore di designer indipendenti sta rendendo il crossover tra arredamento e architettura uno degli ambiti più floridi e innovativi nel campo del design. I progetti ideati da questi creativi includono librerie che possono dinamicamente dividere e riorganizzare una stanza, sedie che creano angoli intimi, spazi-negli-spazi per uffici domestici, cucine in moduli indipendenti che possono espandersi per rivelare ogni funzionalità umanamente concepibile. Il volume presenta centinaia di oggetti da collezione e pezzi rari, produttori indipendenti e soluzioni rapide a problemi spaziali di vario tipo.

Suits that pop with loud colors and dazzling patterns, complete with a nearly ubiquitous bowtie, define the style of the new "dandy." Described as "high-styled rebels" by author Shantrelle P. Lewis, Black men with a penchant for color and refined fashion, both new and vintage, have gained popular attention in recent years, influencing mainstream fashion. But Black dandyism itself is not new; originating from the intersection of Africa's long history of sartorial aesthetics and European fashion, then later from the personal styling of enslaved people in Victorian England, it has continued for generations in black cultures around the world. Now, set against the backdrop of hip-hop culture, this iteration of dandies is redefining what it means to be Black, masculine, and fashionable. Dandy Lion presents and celebrates individual dandy personalities, designers and tailors, movements and events that define contemporary dandyism. Throughout the book, self-expression is communicated through personal style, clothing, shoes, hats, and swagger. Lewis's carefully curated selection of contemporary photographs surveys the movement across the globe in spectacular form, with all the vibrant patterns, electrifying colors, and fanciful poses of this brilliant style subculture.
