i think this is such a beautiful cause; it’s something the city really needs. etched in my memory is the hong kong of 15 years ago, and even then it was stifling. all i knew of nature at that young age was typhoons and mimosa pudica.

sights and observations from the past month or so

collectors are people with a tactical instinct; their experience teaches them that when they capture a strange city, the smallest antique shop can be a fortress, the most remote stationary store a key position. how many cities have revealed themselves to me in the marches i undertook in pursuit of books! … now i am on the last half-emptied crate, and it is way past midnight. other thoughts fill me than the ones i am talking about — not thoughts but images, memories … for a collector — and i mean a real collector, a collector as he ought to be — ownership is the most intimate relationship that one can have to things. not that they come alive in him; it is he who lives in them.

when i was last in berlin, i met up with lisa for a visit to désirée‘s showroom no. 4, followed by a quick lunch by the water (spargelcremesuppe!) and a stroll around the market. the showroom space was rather small but i absolutely loved the way it was laid out, meticulously and thoughtfully, creating a story behind each designer’s set of works. désirée chatted with us for quite a while and i learned a lot from her, about everything from education to independent labels to the nitty gritty details of life in berlin.
