The iconic Bowl Chair. It doesn’t just embrace you, it moves with you. The bowl-shaped seat can be tilted in any direction. Whether it’s actually comfortable? The jury is still out. Designed by Lina Bo Bardi, 1951.
When I say a chair should embrace you, this is what I mean. Bowl Chair Lina Bo Bardi, 1951.

Sorry, no beige. Apple ads through the years. Some more vintage than others, but all of them iconic.
Come back, see-through Apple era. I miss you so much. I couldn't afford you back then. I was just a teenager.

I can't stress enough just how obsessed I was with the Power Mac G4. It was, and still is, the coolest computer I've ever seen.

A detail I love. When closed, the door almost disappears into the forest. When open, the house feels like a portal in the middle of the woods.
A house built to disappear. A sequence of pavilions within the forest, turning the journey between spaces into a daily ritual. Los Terrenos Arch. Tatiana Bilbao, 2016.

I don't think I've ever seen one Olivetti poster I didn't love! I could spend hours looking at them and their perfect design. Selected Olivetti Vintage ads.

Just iconic! I love everything about the TP 1, the metal stand with the Braun logo engraved on it, the leather strap for carrying or hanging, beautiful!
A portable music system from 1959. It still feels contemporary. Braun TP 1 (Radio and Phonograph) Dieter Rams for Braun, 1959.
