Build your own setas!®
Un souvenir contemporáneo de Sevilla / A contemporary souvenir from Sevilla.
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
by Alterier SAD
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
