Build your own setas!®


Mis amigos de Lugadero presentaron ayer a el mundo el nuevo must have souvenir del siglo XXI: Build Your Own Setas. Usando la tecnologia del rapid prototyping y siguiendo la linea de trabajos como los del prestigioso disenador espanol Hector Serrano afincado aqui en Londres con sus Reduced Carbon Souvenirs.




Un souvenir contemporáneo de Sevilla / A contemporary souvenir from Sevilla.
/Metropol Parasol convertido en un fetiche de viaje/ Metropol Parasol, obra de J. Mayer H. y bautizado por los sevillanos como “Las Setas”, ha pasado a formar parte indisolublemente del imaginario común de la ciudad de Sevilla. Más allá de los tópicos, Build your own setas! es una invitación a la reflexión sobre la arquitectura y la ciudad contemporánea, sobre cómo el objeto arquitectónico se convierte en souvenir. Un desmontable que aporta las piezas necesarias para que cada uno construya sus propias setas, al tiempo que genere una vision personal de las mismas.

Metropol Parasol turned into a travel fetish/ Metropol Parasol by J. Mayer H. and named by Sevillians as "The Mushrooms" has now become inextricably part of the common imaginary of the city of Seville. Beyond the stereotypes, Build your own setas! is an invitation to reflect on contemporary architecture and the city, on how the architectural object becomes a souvenir. A detachable object that provides the necessary parts to construct its own setas each one, while generates a personal vision of it.

Fat or Fiction








A collaboration between designers Anna Brooks, Christina Winkless and David Paul Rosser it takes a new approach to this vector dominated artform and helps convey important information in a clear, concise and stomach-rumbly kind of way. Want to see which cheese is worst, which chocolate bar packs the most calorific punch or want a reason to drink more Jagermiester?

Gas Station







Shovshoved Gas Station
by Arne Jacobsen

I love when good architecture in done in the more unglamorous and unespected spaces/building. Who would like to design a gas station? But with Shovshoved gas station mr Jacobsen proved that he was one of the greatest designers from the last century. I guess that Alterier SAD took Arne building as a reference, quite literal though.

Žilvinas Kempinas


“I am attracted to things that are capable of transcending their own banality and materiality to become something else, something more. I like the way that videotape is simultaneously delicate and durable, since it’s meant to last. I can rip it easily with my hands because it’s so thin, but I can also stretch it. Videotape is made to present the world in color, but it appears purely black. It’s supposed to be this safe container of the past, but it is destined to vanish like a dinosaur, to become obsolete, pushed away by new technologies. It’s a familiar mass-produced commodity, but it can be surprisingly sensual and can look almost alive if set in motion. It can be seen as a solid, thick, black line, but it can also disappear right in front of your eyes if it’s turned on its side”Žilvinas Kempinas
