Cassina revives Le Corbusier furniture
The ‘LC 14 01 Tabouret Cabanon’ was originally designed by Le Corbusier in 1952 for his holiday 'Cabanon’ in Roquebrune Cap Martin, in the south of France, where he laboured over the search for the perfect human scale - the Modulor. It was inspired by a wooden whisky crate abandoned on the beach, which is typical of the designer’s interest in objet trouvé.
All furniture reissued by Cassina for its 'Cassina I Maestri Collection’, 2010, after an exacting study of the designer’s original drawings and prototypes, and a collaboration with the Le Corbusier Foundation -

‘My desk with my most important tools (except for the horse). If I work on a piece I always have to do it directly in the space. This is why my place seems more like a storage place for materials. I am trying to find a good studio at the moment in which I can also work on bigger sculptures’

Beaufort West, 2006. Copyright Magnum Photos
At the half-way point along South Africa’s great highway – the N1 running from Cape Town to Johannesburg – lies the small town of Beaufort West. With its prison in the middle of town, on an island in the highway, it’s a surreal road-stop that offers everything a traveler might want – food, gas, a place to stay, an hour of sex… Mikhael Subotzky considers the town, its vivid characters and poignant social landscapes, in a photo essay that confronts central issues of contemporary South African society. -

Dian Hanson, sexy book editor of Taschen says: ‘Yesterday’s porn is today’s historical interest. For many, the curiosity of all that surrounds the figures is entertaining: the old hairstyles, the clothing, if any, the furnishings, but there’s also the argument that many old photos are of better quality.’
