Happy Birthday to Eero Saarinen -

There is something quite sensual about Eero' Saarinen's designs. Simple, curved, organic shapes that mirror the human body. If it was not for his sudden death at a very early age, there would no doubt have been many more iconic, Saarinen pieces, still in production and, in high demand. STYLE NV pays tribute to his life, on what would have been his birthday.

The campervan in front was driving tediously slowly and whilst I willed it to pull over, it  got me thinking about our desire for all things vintage and our need to constantly look back in design. What makes retro design so good that we always need to look back?

Those guys at Made.com are just so darn inspirational, aren't they?!


Collaborating with the Chelsea School of Art and the non-profit organisation Monkey Biz, that provide beads and beading materials to 450 women living with HIV in Cape Town, Made.com run a Glocalisation competition for Chelsea's students to design a series of wall panels using the traditional South African beading techniques. The entries were judges by Lucia Van der Poste, Nina Campbell and Made.com's Chloe Macintosh. The winners have had thier designs made up onto canvases and sold by Made.com. Some of the proceeds will go back to the winners and to Monkey Biz.
