what chemicals did he use to make the ropes stabil? no word about it. design is future, future is impossible without thinking sustainable.
Me encanta. Me parece precioso, ingenioso y bello. K-rmen
marcel plays very well with emotions. The crochet-technique evoques “good old times” when women spent their spare time with needle-work, the gold colour represents wealth $$$, and all wrapped up in a cosy egg-shape – secure & comfortable as in mother’s womb. And you thought this is a piece of furniture. 😉
it is not crap, its more a nice styling. gorgeous place, waw!
stop the crap wanders
