(smow) blog 2013. A pictorial review: January

January 2013 was, as every January, dominated by IMM Cologne, and all that that entails. In particular IMM Cologne 2013 brought us Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec‘s investiture as A&W Designers of the year and a delightful Alvar Aalto Stool 60 exhibition at Ungers Archiv für Architekturwissenschaft.

January 2013 was in addition the opening of the exhibition “Extraordinary Stories About Ordinary Things” at the Design Museum London…..
