Hasta La Ideas

Last Friday, we posted about the latest in a long string of people accidentally painting over beloved and, perhaps more important, very valuable street art by the international renowned Banksy, believing them to be pieces of mere regular-graffiti instead of graffiti-that-could-pay-off-your-mortgage. In that last post, we came up with the idea of selling a listing of all known Banksy work to local business, so they wouldn’t be making a million dollar mistake. The city of Bristol, the artist’s hometown, apparently reads our blog and thinks we’re brilliant because according to this story filed by the BBC, they’re planning to do just that. Or rather, a variation (the city seems less greedy than we). A city councilor has introduced a plan that would create a register of all valuable pieces of street art that “people could consult it before they did work on a building, and have a look and see if it was of any value before they get the emulsion out.” Furthermore, the plan would also call for getting permission by the city to alter any work if it appeared in the list. Though the plan still has to pass a vote to get enacted, it seems like a solid idea. Though also perhaps a bit counter to all of what street art is about in a way, isn’t it? Once you have the city council on board, doesn’t that lessen a bit of the edge?

London studio Post-Office have completed a boutique in Notting Hill with rails made of bronze-plated scaffolding.

The shop for Orlebar Brown sells mens’ swimming shorts and accessories.

The designers selected materials to reference Mediterranean beach resorts, using granite and reclaimed Aspendos stone for the flooring and counter tops.

Post-Office was founded in 2009 by Canadian designer Philippe Malouin. They created Dezeen’s offices in north London earlier this year – take a look here.

Dezeen also filmed interviews with Malouin in Milan and Cologne earlier this year.

Photographs are by James McDonald.

Here are some more details from Post-Office:

Inspired by Julius Shulman’s Los Angeles photography and Ken Adams’ production design as well as Cesar Manrique’s breathtaking resorts in Lanzarote, the aesthetic is masculine, refined and minimal.

Materials include lavastone tiles, mimicking the black sands of Manrique’s timeless resorts, white cement boards in order to provide a subdued texture, whilst being the perfect backdrop for Orlebar Brown’s colourful palette.

The display units are made of bronze plated industrial scaffolding poles and keyclamps, reflecting the both the brand’s strength (industrial keyclamp) and its luxury (bronze plating).

The surfaces (reception desk and display unit) are clad in vintage Aspendos stone (reminding one of a resort’s ocean-eroded stone cliffs).

En reprenant l’idée selon laquelle chaque être humain perd 21 grammes lors du moment exact de sa mort (équivalent alors au poids de l’âme humaine), le créatif Andreas Wannerstedt a eu l’idée d’imaginer dans cette vidéo l’utilisation de l’âme déplacée dans un robot.
