Valentin Loellmann Benches and Stools
Furniture designer Valentin Loellmann will be showing a new collection of stools and benches as part of an exhibition starting in April at Galerie Gosserez in Paris. To produce the Fall/Winter furniture, Loellmann used mortise and tenon joints to connect hazel branches to an oak top. A mixture of sawdust and glue was used to smooth over the connections, producing a seamless, organic form. The legs were then burned and treated with wax, resulting in an interesting visual contrast between the smooth, light top and the matte black legs.

RIP - SMILEY CULTURE
Britain's reggae community burned their illusions a long time ago but right across the spectrum there is wave of shock at the way David Emmanuel, best known as Smiley Culture, died from "self-inflicted" stab wounds during a police raid on his home in Surrey on Tuesday.
Back in 1984, Smiley Culture bounced into the nation's consciousness with Cockney Translation and its Top 20 follow up Police Officer – a graphic tale of how he was arrested for possession of "ganja", but evaded prosecution when recognised as the reggae artist who did "the Cockney Translator".
