Bertoia's Diamond Chair and Thonet's Chair No. 14

Image
Ever since I was a little girl, I have always been fascinated by chair designs. My very own white and yellow striped beach chaise longue The first chair that I fell in love with was my white and yellow striped beach chaise longue. It looked almost like this: ...but mine had white wood instead of brown with white and yellow stripes. Bertoia's Diamond Chair Then I fell in love with the diamond chair that my grandparents had in their summer house in Istanbul, Turkey. (Our chairs had orange cushions.) My grandparents had these super cool looking white chairs made of wires in their kitchen. If you were a type of person who thought that the glass was half empty rather than half full, you could have thought that these chairs were made of air. When I asked my grandpa why he picked those chairs for the kitchen, he (who was a very famous and successful professional architect and building contractor in Turkey) said those chairs were designed by a very famous designer called Har...

Sleep No More, Photo by Yaniv Schulman. I really wanted to start this article with a short summary of the show in my own words. However, still to this date I have no clue what happened in the show thanks to the great creative team of Sleep No More who were fabulous at messing (I am being polite here by not using the F word.

Benetton's Controversial UNHATE Campaign

Image
From the  UNHATE Campaign site ... "What does UNHATE mean? UN-hate. Stop hating, if you were hating.

Our campaign promotes a shift in the balance: don’t hate, Unhate."  Pope Benedict XVI – Sheikh Ahmed Mohamed el-Tayeb Paramount Leader of the People’s Republic of China – President of the USA Supreme Leader of North Korea – President of South Korea President of the Palestinian National Authority – Prime Minister of Israel President of the USA – President of Venezuela

Our trip to NYC

I took the above photos when we were on a horse & carriage ride in Cental Park. It was a 40 minute ride and we didn't stop laughing for a sec. In the middle of our ride, our driver gave up (in a good way :P) on giving us info on the site. He looked at us and said: "You guys will live very long lives coz you laugh non-stop!" :))) The Dimple "Hello dimple. :)" Yummy Godiva chocolate covered strawberries @ Rockefeller Center. Waiting for our table at Balthazar , Soho. The guy in the back: "What's wrong with her?" Suhan: "Nothing. She loves to laugh! :P" Can spotted this voodoo doll (?!) on our way to the subway after walking on Brooklyn Bridge. Thank you Can, Suhan, Cansu, Selim, Zenigun and Mert for a wonderful weekend full of laughter in NYC!!! Xoxo, Z
