To parallel the physical production of the +YvesBéhar, the company has decided to explore this stand, on a deeper philosophical level, through a freeform periodic publication. The first effort – the Tænker 001 – brought together a diverse group of design writers, cultural editors, gallery curators and architecture critics to talk about values and creativity in a world that gives such ideals short shrift.

The Houl by Simon Winstanley Architects, Scotland
Emerging from the contours of an elevated and exposed Dumfriesshire hillside, The Houl is not only a fine contemporary reinterpretation of the traditional Scottish ‘longhouse’ but also a net zero carbon dwelling that doesn’t wear its progressive eco credentials too visibly on its sleeve

How to make a book with Steidl
Gerhard Steidl has spent the last forty years printing and publishing books. His legendary, unconditional obsession with his trade has led him to become the publisher of choice for an A list of artists that include Martin Parr, Ed Ruscha, Robert Adams, Jeff Wall and Robert Frank among other. Steidl is himself an artist in his way, travelling the world to discuss the saturation of colours, the perfume of ink and the comparative qualities of paper with his clients, then returning to his presses in Göttingen, Germany to assail his staff with a minutiae of details in his quest for perfection. Steidl’s passion is infectious, his client list unique and the quality of his work without parallel. These, together with his idiosyncratic approach have made him a gift for documentary film makers Gereon Wetzel and Jörg Adolph who spent a year following the meister and his herculean schedule: ten appointments in a day; Los Angeles, Astoria, Nova Scotia and Vancouver in four days, then months at the presses. Their resulting film: ‘How to Make a Book with Steidl’ is a gem of a document.

Paris Fashion Week A/W 2011: Womenswear
Rick Owens
Rick Owens has his woman covered in more ways than one for the winter. The American designer delivered incredible layers of sharply sliced wool fabrics and buttery leathers, each one stacked above the other like a perfectly assembled puzzle set. Curved-hem cloaks were worn with fuzzy turtlenecks pulled over models’ heads and paired with tunics, over wrapped tubular skirts. It sounds complicated but the effect was eerily cohesive and strikingly beautiful. Best of all were the fur head veils that looked just about as rigorous as nuns’ habits. -
