This must be the place - Pia Ulin

A little while ago I 've got my eye on the new book of photographer 

Pia Ulin (based in Sweden)  I read about "this must be the place" last August

at the blog of Lotta Agaton and the way she described the book it had to be a 

very beatiful and personal book, designed to perfection by the Studio.

Last holidays I finally could admire it myself after I was gladly surprised 

with this very inspiring book for Christmas! Besides the very'

 attractive cover (i have this thing with covers...) I cant stop admiring

 the images and discover more about her life and the places she lived. 

"Pia Ulin has documented her home-history (26 homes) throughout her 52 years of moving around. The homes are big and small and stretches from Stockholm, Los Angeles, Gotland, New York and some other remote places in the world. She has also included some clothing connected to some of the homes."

creating with shapes - COS x Usha Doshi

Our material world is built from squares and rectangles, 
circles, ovals, triangles and diamonds. 

Basic geometric shapes form the basis for how we design 

the things that surround us and Usha Doshi’s 

Just admired some images of the inspiring book - Creating with Shapes -  

 (the first title published by COS) and the launch of the limited COS shapes

 collection (consisting 11 womanswear pieces) based on the inventive 

methods and techniques devised by Royal College of  Art teacher and 

long-time COS collaborator Usha Doshi.

The book and the collection will be available online and 

in selected stores worldwide very soon and definitely on my

 just started little wishlist for Christmas ;-)
