On http://www.thecoolhunter.net/design I found awesome tents. Now you think what is awesome on tents? Well these tents are tents with printing on it like this:

I think this looks awesome. Also it is a bit of the style we have in our store. It is a simple object there is nothing much with it (actually it is just a tent so there are just tent pegs, the tent material and the other stuff a normal tent has.) but it is made with creativity so it got something special.

In the A&W Special Magazin, which is available from the 10th of January 2012 until the 13th of march 2012, they searched for 111 design icons from 11 decades. I`m going to list every icon but one out of every decade and then I`m going to write something about it.

1900-1909: The Thonet brothers designed this chair 1900 and it`s called Schreibtischfauteuil Nr. 9 better know as “Wiener Sessel”.         It is made of beechwood which just got bended and with nothing else. It is really a masterpiece.

1910-1919: Josef Gočár made a wardrobe which is called Glasschrank. He made it in 1913 and it doesn`t look like a normal wardrobe but thats what makes it special.

1920-1929: 1927 Eileen Gray designed a table which is called Adjustatable table.It`s made of glas and steel pipe. She got inspired for the table from Marcel Breuers. It`s her most known furniture.

1930-1939: Christian Dell made a lamp called 6631 Luxus in year 1934. It look old, maybe because it is but it`s really nice and classical. In the fifties it was the popularest lamp in germany.

1940-1949: 1947 the Peacock got born. Who is the father? Hans Wegner designed this chair. I really like it and it looks comfortable. It is a variation of the classical english Windsor chair.

1950-1959: Marshmellow isn`t that something to eat? Yes indeed but it is also a couch from George Nelson who created the delicious furnitur 1956. “It`s not really comfortable but it looks funny”, said the magazine.

1960-1969: Eero Aarnio made a bubble. A bubble chair and he designed it in 1968. It looks really nice like a bubble as the name says. The magazine says that it`s good to have a quiet zone.

1970-1979: This armchair looks so luxury, but when you see the colours of the fabric blind than it`s more childish but in a good way. I really like it.

1980-1989: FNP from Axel Kufus is a bookshelf which got designed in 1989. It`s actually just a simple bookshelf but it has something special and I really don`t know what it is.

1990-1999: Bookworm from Ron Arad was the best thing i saw in the magazine. This is art! It looks good and funny and I would buy it if i would see it anywere in a store.

2000-2009: I wound a really cool lamp in the magazine. It got designed by Front and it`s called Horse Lamp. Front is a group of women and they asked in their academic studies other people what are their favorit things. They found out that they have a big connection to figurativ things. So they made the horse lamp.
