Double Section Chair

The Double Section chair made of plywood 
by Guatemala based Piegatto design studio of Alejandro Estrada and Sandra de Estrada

I really enjoy the gesture and ribbed form of these chairs.  Steamed wood looks great- resembling the inside/underbelly of boats.

Mina

Mina was super popular in the 60's in Italy.
She is super beautiful - and the video is incredible. It is simple and subtle. But my favorite thing is what Mina does with her hands - and that little kiss at the end is magic.
