smow blog 2015. A pictorial review: October

Normally October is all about design festivals, October 2015 wasn’t. On the one hand we weren’t at that many this year, and on the other those we were at didn’t impress us that much.

What did impress us was the new collection by Ateliers J&J. Oh yes!

In addition October 2015 saw us consider questions of housing provision at Wohnungsfrage at the Haus der Kulturen der Welt Berlin, the oeuvre of Charles and Ray Eames at the Barbican Art Gallery in London and Art Nouveau at the Kunst und Gewerbe Museum in Hamburg.
