Words

There are things out there that you need, and there are things out there that you want; some of them are reasonable, others are not. This 1970s coat stand by the Swedish designer Bruno Mathsson, isn't something I need, and it's hardly a reasonable purchase (it's also not one I can actually make), but that does not make it any less desirable, nor any more rational a desire.

Another month, another excellent exhibition at Mondo Cane. Starting tonight, and running until July 12th, the New York store and gallery will be showing a selection of Japanese indigo boro from the photographer Eric Kvatek's personal collection. These pieces have been acquired on his frequent trips to the country's early morning antique markets, and are becoming increasingly more difficult to find.
