Quality gets Kinky
Kinkyform
In the age of Ikea, Walmart, and Super everything, quality has been relegated to the era of walking uphill both ways in the snow just to get to school. Most of the furniture that populates the living rooms of the western world has a shorter lifespan than our grandparents clothing. Things are meant to be used and then thrown out at the end of their meek life amongst the living. How depressing. Against this backdrop there is a small group of designers who have grown sick of this fast-food culture, and set out to buck the system and bring generational lifespans back to the objects we use everyday. One such designer is Lars Amhoff of Kinkyform . From his homebase in Germany, he initiates collaborations that span continents and bring wonderful cross discipline objects into the world.

The book explored characters dealing with abuse, vengeance, and ... continue -
