The nice people of Forsman & Bodenfors have send me some more info on the IKEA “Hembakat är Bäst” baking book. It’s actually a 140 pages coffee-table book, containing 30 classic swedish baking recipes. They were inspired by high fashion and japanese minimalism and decided to put the ingredients in focus. The recipes are presented as graphic still-life portraits on a warm and colourful stage.
You can find all the photos of the ingredients, the biscuits/cakes and the credits here.

“Private Stages” is a series of collages made by Peter Freitag. He took amateur photographs of nudes from the internet and obscured the nude with the application of little “dots” that are made with punchhole irons using the colours and structures from the original image.
He’s not the only one who removes nudes from nude pictures, but his style is just awesome.

I really like Andy Denzler his paintings, I wouldn’t mind having one hanging on one of my walls.

I hope you all know It’s Nice That by now. This Friday, they’ll launch It’s Nice That Issue #4. It’s like the printed version of their website but actually much more. There will be interviews with Nick Knight, Neville Brody, Miranda July, Trokia, RBG6, Noma Bar and Bompas & Parr, features by Sara De Bondt, Adam Buxton, Adrian Shaughnessy, Jez Burrows, Mike Lemanski, Peter Nencini and Micah Lidberg as well as tons of work from the likes of Michael Landy, Rui Teneiro, Peter Grundy and more.
If you pre-order your copy by Thursday evening, you’ll receive a free screenprint by James Jarvis. I’ve already reserved a spot on my bookshelf next to the other 3 issues.
100% recommended by today and tomorrow!

IKEA has just released a baking book called “Hembakat är Bäst” (Homemade is Best). Carl Kleiner was asked to shoot the recipes. The styling of the ingredients by Evelina Bratell, looks great.

The Replica jewelry collection by Göran Kling is an “homage to exclusive wrist watches, Swiss craft skills and cheap knock-offs.”

The Tokyo Apartment building by Sou Fujimoto consists of five dwelling units. Each one of them has two or three independent rooms in a prototypical “house” shape. I’m not sure that I would like to climb a ladder each time I want to go to the other room. But I would definitely like to visit this building.

Scott Jarrett made these sculptures with objects he found at those abandoned places.
