We would worry less about what others think of us if we realized how seldom they do.

All designed objects are propaganda for a certain way of life.
Sometimes we need to stop analysing the past, stop planning the future, stop figuring out precisely how we feel, stop deciding exactly what we want, and just see what happens.
We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

Wintering Bikes

Here’s a slice of life in Montreal. The mournful sight of bikes rusting away in the snowbank.

There’s lots of reasons to bike in Montreal. The bike lanes pretty much go everywhere, and there’s nowhere to park a car anyway. Plus it’s greener, and saves money. So lots of people bike. Some ride all winter. Snow and sleet be dammed.

Here on the Plateau, people live in these 100 year old buildings with precarious external staircases. There’s no place in your tiny apartment for a bike even if you didn’t fall to your death trying to take it [

THOREAU – KTAADN PASSAGE

“There was clearly felt the presence of a force not bound to be kind to man. It was a place for heathenism and superstitious rites, — to be inhabited by men nearer of kin to the rocks and to wild animals than we.”

Beautiful lighting for an auld spiral staircase

The design firm of Speirs + Major got the contract to update the lighting in Edinburgh’s Usher Hall. Their solution for the hall’s magnificent spiral staircase was this striking acrylic cylinder surrounding fluorescent tubes: “the inner layer is frosted to soften the light while the outer layer is etched with a ringed pattern that catches the light. each fluorescent section is separated by shorter sections of frosted glass rings uplit with leds to add sparkle and introduce variation along the length.”
