Danish Design: Elegant Bauhaus dining chair by Kristina Dam, Denmark (02)

While surfing this morning on internet I found this beautiful Bauhaus dining chair from stainless steel. It's a design from Kristina Dam Design Studio. The design is simple and elegant based on pure geometrical components and from the Bauhaus furniture series. Designed in Denmark and available in this black or a neat beige colouring. The Bauhaus furniture collection is suited for indoor usage but also well suited for outdoor cafés, restaurants and urban spaces. It will also function quite well as a fashionable kitchen chair when encircling the black coloured Bauhaus dining table. I wrote earlier already a blog about the Bauhaus dining table. I am in love with this fantastic Danish design! Be Inspired .....

Quote by Ansel Adams (01)

More about the photographer

Ansel Adams was born in the Western Addition of San Francisco, California. He was an American photographer and environmentalist (1902 - 1984). His black-and-white landscape photographs of the American West, especially Yosemite National Park, have been widely reproduced on calendars, posters and in books.

With Fred Archer, Adams developed the Zone System as a way to determine proper exposure and adjust the contrast of the final print. The resulting clarity and depth characterized his photographs. Adams primarily used large-format cameras because their high resolution helped ensure sharpness in his images.

Adams founded the photography Group f/64 along with fellow photographers Willard Van Dyke and Edward Weston. In 1921, Ansel Adams produced his first photograph. In 1927, Adams produced his first portfolio, Parmelian Prints of the High Sierras, in his new style, which included his famous image Monolith, the Face of Half Dome, taken with his Korona view camera using glass plates and a dark red filter.

Adams received a Doctorate of Arts from both Harvard and Yale universities. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1966. He was awarded with various awards and was inducted into the California Hall of Fame by California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger and First Lady Maria Shriver in 2007.

VINTAGE FASHION - PHOTO LOVE - NORMAN PARKINSON (16)

Would like to share with you today this interesting photo from fashion photographer Norman Parkinson: The Art of Travel on Artnet Auctions. Love his beautiful fashion photos. Norman Parkinson was a pioneer of fashion photography. Famous for his iconic sense of style and glamour, Parkinson’s unexpected and unique approach brought a freshness to the sometimes staid genres of fashion and portrait photography. Be Inspired ........ 

More about Norman Parkinson (1913 - 1990)

Norman Parkinson established his first photographic studio in 1934 and following World War II rapidly became one of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar most prominent photographer. Sharing with Toni Frissel the honor of being the first to have brought models outdoors, the British photographer privileged a realistic and impulsive aesthetic. He brought glamour and fantasy to his narratives that featured colorful and elegant yet humorous compositions that often took place in exotic landscapes - ‘I like there to be a joke in practically every photo I take.’ He discovered such models as Grace Coddington and Jerry Hall whom he depicted in 1975 in the USSR and pushed a certain Brian Ferry fascinated by her portrait to ask her to pose for a Roxy Music album cover and become her girlfriend. Rigorous yet surrealist are adjectives that would perfectly describe not only his images but also the man. The quintessential British charmer had an incredible allure and attitude dedicated to style.
