First photo: Should the post in the middle not turned the other way around so that it looks as though it has been lifted straight from the flooring like the other posts? I notice that in the second photo directly underneath it, it has been changed to the ‘correct’ position.

(Knocking my head slowly against a pillar of wood not too dissimilar to those displaying bottles here…): OK, so there are some admirable design touches here like the different stained wood laminate running from the vertical surfaces of the cupboard doors continuing across the plane of the adjacent floor. But why-oh-why the descriptive hyperbole (‘Aroma of Shadow’ says it all)?

Architects of whatever nationality regularly tongue-tie themselves to justify the ‘Concept’ as if unsure their ideas might not stand on their own visual and perceptual merits. I’d like one day to see a report in Dezeen where we read the designer, architect etc say:

“Well I was hoping the observer will break into a sudden smile with a slightly dropped jaw and say – yessss!” Which is I think, at the end of the day, how we all react when we recognise something is that good – and doesn’t need to be accompanied by twenty words to the dozen of tortuous verbalisation…

pretty busy
that first picutre could have worked as the whole shop, that particular piece shows a really satisfying activation of space
