TODD SNYDER X CHAMPION

TODD SNYDER + CHAMPION TO OPEN FIRST STORE

New York, NY - On November 2, Todd Snyder + Champion will open its first collaborative store in Manhattan's Nolita neighborhood at 242 Elizabeth Street. Fittingly dubbed City Gym — after Snyder's debut collection for the iconic sportswear company — the shop will feature the complete Todd Snyder + Champion collection.  In addition, it will be equipped with athletic-inspired industrial furniture by ABC Carpet & Home.

Designed in collaboration with Champion’s Chief Design Officer, Ned Munroe, who worked closely with Snyder on the collection that draws inspiration from vintage New York Athletic Club images and the brand’s authentic sports heritage, City Gym will also function as a curio of sorts, stocking Snyder's favorite sporting goods, including bicycles and watches from Detroit's Shinola; throwback ballcaps from Seattle's Ebbets Field, Hoosier bats and Leatherhead balls; books by Assouline and bottled juice from Liquiteria. The store will also feature an exclusive retail assortment of curated goods by Kaufman Mercantile and a selection of new and vintage magazines from Snyder's personal collection.

Banksy Sells Original Paintings for $60 each in New York Central park

Banksy is in town and he is leaving many artworks behind for us and still continues.
He is so secretive about anything and he even try this brilliant thoughts to test all of us what we know. At the end, no one knows, but someone got really lucky. I am very happy for your purchase, you lucky bastards!
Banksyが、今ニューヨークに潜伏しています。知っていますよね。
有りがたい事に、そこら中にアートを残しています。
ご存知の通り、Banksyは、秘密主義者で知られていますが、誰も彼を知っている人、見た人も居ません。もし知っていたら、僕はどうするだろう？黙っているだろうな？言いふらすかな？それは、ないな。
先週末、我々ニューヨーカーは、彼のいたずらに、まんまとはめられました。
Banksyのアートワークは買えたとして、小さな物で、４００万円以上はするでしょう。少しでも大きくなれば、&$#XX千万円以上は下らないです。そのアートワークが、セントラルパークで、売られていました。何と、１点$60で。普通のおっちゃんが、ボーっと売っている訳ですから、誰も見向きもしません。
その中でも、何人かのラッキーな人は、購入されていきました。勿論、贋作だと思って。
くやしー。俺がそこに居れば、絶対に買ってた！と皆、そう言いのですよね。。。。。。
購入した人、おめでとう。貴方は、凄い！

You gatta see this. これ、大うけ

UN building redesign by Koolhaas and Jongerius

 

 

 

The 68th General Assembly of the United Nations descended upon New York City last week, arriving at the UN Building to a new look-and-feel thanks to design gift from the Netherlands.  Dutch architects Rem Koolhaas and Hella Jongerius have refreshed the interior of New York’s UN Building with a collection of furniture, art and interior accents to welcome the General Assembly.  Koolhaas and Jongerius focused on the UN north delegates’ lounge, a space that now features an approachable, comfortable set of modern furniture that suits this world-renown “workshop for peace”. - See more at: http://www.thecoolist.com/un-building-redesign-by-koolhaas-and-jongerius/#sthash.rdt4ULLY.dpuf

The 68th General Assembly of the United Nations descended upon New York City last week, arriving at the UN Building to a new look-and-feel thanks to design gift from the Netherlands.  Dutch architects Rem Koolhaas and Hella Jongerius have refreshed the interior of New York’s UN Building with a collection of furniture, art and interior accents to welcome the General Assembly.  Koolhaas and Jongerius focused on the UN north delegates’ lounge, a space that now features an approachable, comfortable set of modern furniture that suits this world-renown “workshop for peace”.

This redesign of the UN Building’s interior is the first of its kind in over 60 years.  The building was originally imagined by a star-studded list of world architects including Oscar Niemeyer, Le Corbusier and others.  The original vision of these architects has been maintained, but current stars like Koolhaas and Jongerius have given this portion a welcome visual update.  The 68th General Assembly of the United Nations ended Friday in New York, and the interior now returns to regular non-assembly business for UN workers in Manhattan. 

先日、East sideに人が増えたなあー？と感じていた頃、国連ビルでは、第６８回国連総会が行われていました。と言うか、やたらと黒塗り車が有るんだから、感じてないで、気付けよっと言われると何も言えません。でっ、私個人的には、この国連ビルの外観デザインが相当好きです。East riverに沿って、どーんっと建っているのですが、美しい存在感で周りを和ましています。美しい～。

でも驚きは、実は中身なんです。国連ビルは、歴代その時代を牽引している巨匠デザイナーさまさま達が、インテリアをアップデートしてきました。例えば、Oscar Niemeyerや、Le Corbusierなど。この様な方々が、はいっ！と快諾するのだから、国連級のフィーが支払われていると思う。

今回、約６０年振りに、そのインテリアのアップデートがされたのである。 

Rem Koolhaasと、 Hella Jongerius が、この大役を任された。Rem Koolhaasは、色々とあるが、ニューヨーカーには、sohoのparada shopのデザインと言えば、親近感が湧くかな？Hella Jongeriusは、恥ずかしながら初めて知る名前だが、とてもヨーロピアンなプルダクトデザインをされているお方。カラーリングが、なんともヨーロッパですね。キーワードが、”平和な仕事場”。とても国連的です。

世界に平和を！
