FOR SCALE XL: FELIX BURRICHTER TALKS, AND TRANG TRAN FINDS STUFF FOR YOU
GRANDMOTHERS; ETTORE SOTTSASS FINDS; RULES TO DÉCOR BY
IT’S TIME FOR ANOTHER FOR SCALE XL!
TODAY’s LINEUP:
→ INTERVIEW with archi-editor extraordinaire, FELIX BURRICHTER of PIN-UP MAGAZINE, which created for its most recent issue a typeface from the body of Travis Scott. He talks about:
his one firm design rule (and it’s silly, but also not – the best kind of Rule!)
his Grandmother (becoming a common theme for our interviewees)
and also, his philosophy on BEING JUDGMENTAL
→ SELECTIONS FROM UNNEW-STUFF INTERNET SALES by mega-thrilling gallerist TRANG TRAN of International Objects, a place in Brooklyn where furniture and art are deliciously and stylishly blurred into one category. She finds for us some majorly super duper ETTORE SOTTSASS (and friends) stuff!:
An office chair that is great and NOT EAMES
A calculator of which a variety is kept in the dungeons of MoMA
Books, wearable things, and some SHIRO KURAMATA
BUT FIRST, for our Los Angeles subscribers: An event alert!
Hopefully, you are already familiar with one of our super-fave sellers of Best Most Amazing Stuff: FORMAS.
Well, if you’re free Sunday, July 16, we suggest you check this out. “Free” is a key word, because the evening will also cost you NO MONEY.
They are showing the 1972 BBC docu “REYNER BANHAM LOVES LOS ANGELES” at the always hip BRAIN DEAD STUDIOS on Fairfax. [TICKETS HERE.]
Reyner B was, like, one of history’s top archi critics. He’s British but moved to the U.S., and there learned to drive SPECIFICALLY so he could understand L.A. better:
Here’s Reyner looking slick in LOS ANGELES:
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!
