Awesome news!! THING just got word that we have been selected to participate in the Anti-Design-Festival in London from September 19-26. Read more about it on the D&AD blog here. I will be coming out just in time to catch the last few days of the show.

Kolarbyn is called Sweden´s most primitive hotel. It is a natural refuge for silence, wilderness and adventure in a beautiful forest setting just a couple of hours away from the capital Stockholm. This can be a great place to run away from the city and live the adventures of a hobbit for a couple of weeks. Kolarbyn consists of twelve little forest huts, that by the way are way too cute, located in a glade by the lake Skärsjön. There is no electricity but live candles and a crackling fire place that will guide you asleep. After a silent night you slowly wake up to a bird´s song and a fresh swim in the lake.

Sneak Preview from my trip to MOMA. Some of you may already know that part of THING is in NYC at the moment. No, it’s not because I’m special (yeahhhh, I know what you’re thinking), but because I had BUSINESS to take care. YEP. Serious business. I don’t just throw that word around lightly either. I feel like the guys in Madmen, pouring my whiskey shot then walking into a serious meeting. The “thing” (he he… cheap-shot) is, it’s hard NOT to notice the visual inspiration around every corner, animate or inanimate, that covers every square inch of this kooky city. I’m wondering if THING should move our spacehub to NYC? If you have any thoughts about this, you know I’m all ears, em, eyes, em, fingers, em.. whatever it is I feel like. Maybe it will be a pickle that day. Who knows? But back to the point, here is a little taste of what I saw at MOMA. Can you believe it’s $20 to get in there?? I think London spoiled me with her free museum stuff.
On a side note, there was this awesome video installation happening corresponding with the new show on at the MET called The Nose. Looked and sounds really great. I wanted to go tonight but it was sold out aside from the over a zillion dollar seats. Here’s a promo video similar to the ones playing at MOMA.

I just got back from a trip to London and Italy where I met with two great companies that THING may soon be collaborating with on some extremely amazing projects. Of course I had to see good friends and eat my favorite foods of the area. I’m going to miss S&M in Shoreditch. -L
