Such unsmiling people
The comment that moved me the most after posting that August 10 diatribe came from a very special blogger, @myrthil23. I promised her a longer, thoughtful answer, so here it is.
I share with her way more than meets the eye and with a bit of deductive skills, you could easily place us very specifically on an European map. To be honest, I was surprised (and then absolutely thrilled, of course) to find someone like her hanging on in here. But this is not the only reason prompting a response - her comment made me think a lot about a couple of relevant things.
For those who loathe foraging for reblogs, here goes:
In the colorful Shipper family, the Eastern Europeans are (supposedly) the unsmiling ones. This is one of the stubborn clichés that informed the Western gaze, especially in Communist times. Unsmiling, foreboding and unfathomable people: I am not smiling, I am laughing while writing it, because if anything, Myrthil, @zeya-zg, a couple of others and I do share a superb ability to use bullshit-o-meters, an unsinkable sense of humor and a hefty dose of sarcasm. All of these are basic, compulsory street smarts if you want to survive, God knows how, a nuclear winter of sorts.
Imagine you grow up in a world with empty supermarket shelves but permanently sold-out concert halls, where trivial details such as cotton swabs, potato chips (crisps, heh), political parties or The Last Tango in Paris are virtually unknown. Imagine your family is either cautiously aligned to some public idiocy they loathe everyday at home, teaching you at the same time to never talk to strangers. Or even worse, a political pariah, for reasons that have everything to do with the way you sip your tea, as Ella Fitzgerald would say. The latter situation (mine) was something very much akin to a civil death. And you just knew you could never be, for imbecile but firm reasons, an architect, a lawyer or even an epidemiologist: jobs way too sensitive to entrust the enemies of the people (and their spawn) with.
What is left for you, then, when the view from your window, in 1982, is something not very different from this photograph:
(side note: these people are staying in line to buy 1 kilogram of sugar for each person, which was the monthly allowance fixed by law in my country, from 1980 to 1989; you could only buy those with Government-issued tickets, not unlike what happened in the UK during WWII or what you can see in series like The Handmaid's Tale)
When all is seemingly lost, you will still have, in no particular order: books. Music (including piano lessons). Sports. Each other (although that was overall more complicated than it seemed). Going to the opera and never taking off your winter coat inside, but enjoying every second of it. Impromptu dinners by candlelight during power outages ("wir machen ein bisschen Stimmung"/let's make a bit of atmosphere, grinned my aunt). Foreign languages (a must). Fits and giggles and jokes galore. And the ability to adapt to just about anything, anywhere.
When change finally reached us, many had the almost surreal opportunity to go West. Some came back, others didn't, simply because they chose to continue elsewhere their pursuit of happiness. And yes, Myrthil is right, that fabled West was always something to behold and measure up to. In my case, it was almost too easy, but then I consider myself really lucky: going to live in Paris, at 18, felt both as homecoming and being left alone (and with unlimited credit) in a candy store.
So, here we are. We may have discovered Sylvia Plath a bit late, but I think we are decently knowledgeable about Chaucer. We sometimes may sound Edwardian and if we do, you should probably blame C.E. Eckersley's Essential English (this is how that life-long affair started, for me). And if anything, we bring another, perhaps even more inquisitive, angle to these strange things we are dealing with daily, in here.
But for the love of Jesus H. Roosevelt Christ, don't you ever dare tell us what to think and with whom to talk. Don't call us stupid. Don't call us liars. Historical reasons prompted a durable allergy to sanctimonious speech and yes (I can only speak for myself) I will always, always react. Because we do not deserve the arrogance of people who have no idea of how it really was to grow up somewhere in Eastern Europe during the Eighties. Oh, and something else, lest I forget: being pariahs never bothered us - we can cope.
Other than that, we should go along just fine. :)

PS: @claraisabelcampohermoso, you probably don't know how your gif made me smile. Nadia will always be Nadia: a humble, warm person with a terribly heartbreaking story.

Descuida, yo te cuido (2021)
¡Atención, esta crítica contiene spoilers!
Título original: I Care A Lot
Dirección: J Blakeson
Guion: J Blakeson
Fotografía: Doug Emmett
Música: Marc Canham
Montaje: Mark Eckersley
Productora: Black Bear Pictures, Crimple Beck
Año: 2021
Elenco: Rosamund Pike, Peter Dinklage, Eiza González, Dianne Wiest
País: Reino Unido, Estados Unidos
El cine puede llegar a ser una gran plataforma de comunicación sobre temas poco conocidos por el público general o incluso ignorados a propósito y aunque la expresión artística siempre ha de respetarse, las oportunidades desperdiciadas siguen siendo un poco agridulces para mí. No obstante, hay otra falla más allá de una simple malinterpretación de la publicidad en I Care A Lot. (2021).
La película es sobre Marla Greyson (Rosamund Pike) una tutora legal profesional que tiene bajo su cuidado a numerosos ancianos a los que estafa su dinero. Cuando decide hacerse de su próxima clienta, la señora Peterson (Dianne Wiest), ella y su equipo se darán cuenta de que han interferido con los planes de quien no debían.
Hay flares de luces que pueden asociarse a la vida de lujo que lleva la protagonista y el uso de la dicotomía entre los colores azul y rojo presenta un diseño de producción sólido. El vestuario y maquillaje dieron personalidad sin exagerar. Aunque, la edición jugó en contra al intentar un efecto disruptivo durante escenas como en la que Marla está a punto de ahogarse, ya que contribuye al desbalance en el tono de la película (sátira, comedia, drama, etc.).
Independientemente de la intención de los creadores, el grave problema que encuentro en el guion es que no ofrece desarrollo para su protagonista. No hay riesgo alguno, todo sucede a su favor. La escena final puede aspirar a retomar un mensaje/lección moral de forma indirecta, en la que se nos retrata como una sociedad de salvajes (leones que se matan entre sí, siguiendo la metáfora que se plantea en el filme) pero la misma queda vacía porque Marla es demasiado invencible, incluso cuando su vida corre peligro.
A veces no podemos tenerlo todo. Su intento por aligerar las cosas hacia un tono más cómico no encuentra su lugar entre las más que competentes actuaciones del elenco y la predictibilidad revela la simpleza del argumento que no satisface a la audiencia.
Póster: impawards

After more than 10 years profiling local creatives, documenting beautiful Australian architecture and homes, oohing and ahh-ing over the most enviable interiors, uncovering and championing Australia’s talented designers and makers… we’re SUPER EXCITED to take things up a notch, with the launch of The Design Files Design Awards.
We’ve created this awards program to formally acknowledge the designers, architects and makers who contribute to Australia’s vibrant creative community…. and whilst we know there’s no shortage of amazing awards programs out there, this one aims to be a little different.
The Design Files Awards cover 12 different creative categories, we have 31 (!) esteemed judges, and there’s $30,000 in prize money up for grabs.
We wanted to create an awards program which celebrates the breadth of design and creativity we celebrate here on The Design Files – from small scale, handcrafted practices, to complex, collaborative projects. That’s why this is the only awards program which brings together residential architecture and interior design, alongside innovative new work by Australia’s most talented furniture designers, craft practitioners, floral designers, textile designers, stylists + art directors and more.

LDF18: 100% Forward Highlights New Talent
100% Forward is a new section at London Design Festival’s trade show 100% Design, curated by design journalist Barbara Chandler who asked seven established designers, each of whom launched their career at 100% Design, to nominate seven rising stars. “Since 100% Design started in 1995, our stellar UK designers have created a world-famous design industry, and continue to do so,” says Barbara. “But all industries need new talent. Who better to spot it than the successful design entrepreneurs who launched their careers in the ‘90s at 100% Design?”
Surface print designer Ella Doran, known for her pioneering use of digital print technology, nominated Kyla McCallum’s origami and pleat inspired homewares (above). “I first met Kyla at designjunction in 2013,” says Ella. “I was struck by her display of folded and pleated papers, which seemed to echo in 3D form a similar source of inspiration to my own ‘Geo’ design. I have watched her develop and progress over the past few years, pushing the boundaries of her craft to great effect. Her hallmark is that wow factor.” Kyla’s London-based design studio, Foldability, creates set design, window displays, lighting and interior products inspired by origami and geometry.
As well as the Bauhaus-inspired installation she created for the show, Kyla was also showcasing various techniques and prototypes and her Fold Pendant for Norwegian producer Northern.
Furniture and product designer Simon Pengelly nominated Daniel Schofield saying, “Daniel’s work has a clarity that is refreshingly subtle and pragmatic, which expresses function and materiality in a very appealing way. Ours is a difficult industry in which to establish and maintain a business and I admire Daniel’s ability to seize an opportunity and his talent to deliver a commission.”
Daniel’s new Rafter stools are made to be a simple and stackable design and inspired by his time working as a builder.
Daniel was also showing his Signet table – created for modern nomadic lifestyles where life and work merge into one and people might reconfigure their spaces regularly. A light and strong trestle collapses in seconds making the tables easy to store away and transport.
Soff Studios was nominated by wallpaper designer Jocelyn Warner, who says, “What I love about Soff Studios is the instant freshness of color and the looseness of the line.”
“Carys Briggs and Andrew Mason create pattern and furniture with a shared rhythm, making to commission or for batch production. Their pieces have a considered approach and a striking modern simplicity that fuses craft and design.”
Furniture, product and exhibition designer and activist Michael Marriott put forward Dom Postlethwaite and Will Drye saying, “Dom worked with me during the summer before his final year at Kingston, and he struck me then as a thoughtful, talented and determined designer. We stayed in touch and I went to see his final degree work on show where his promise as a designer showed through.”
Dom met Will at Kingston and formed industrial design studio WD-DP, creating a set of wall hooks made from 19mm tubular steel, which is pinched into shape and flattened below the bend to allow the resulting hooks to sit flush to a wooden block that is attached to the wall. Alongside the hooks, titled Pinch, the pair showed their Crush stackable stool and bar stool, Crush shelving and Pinch candelabra all of which combine powder coated steel and Douglas fir.
Majeda Clarke was suggested by Chris Eckersley, who says, “For the last few years I have been involved with the Crafts Council’s Hothouse Programme and so for 100% Forward my mind went back to all the applicants. Many were exceptional and would have been worthy of a nomination. But one person stood out for really great potential – textile weaver Majeda Clarke.”
Majeda has also received the Clothworker’s Foundation Award at Cockpit Arts in London’s Holborn, from where she uses luxury yarns such as cashmere and silk to combine contemporary geometric-inspired designs with the ancient craft of weaving. She has created blankets for batch production in British Mills and fine muslins for weavers in Bangladesh. At 100% Forward she was showing her Albers double-cloth blanket, her Caernafon double-cloth blanket (above), a scarf and panel from her Suddenly collection and her Woven Air Scarves.
Moe Redish was nominated by furniture designer Samuel Chan. “Moe’s work has a clarity that makes him stand out,” says Samuel. “We met when I set a competition for The Cass (my alma mater), promising I’d put the winning design into production through Jointed + Jointed. The desk Moe came up with was clean and simple – boldly so – and showed clear design thinking.”
Light Up North was proposed by Philip Watts, who says, “As both a maker and an interior designer, I’m impressed with Light Up North’s quirky mix of graphic design and lighting. The work is bursting with narrative, something I look for in interior projects. I am also a sucker for someone who is genuinely making great work in the North [of England]. This is good commercial design that should do really well.”
Emma Krause and Dave Freeney invented a new process, bringing it to market with Light Up North. They use formed electroluminescent neon wire to highlight details within works of art, and now – in collaboration with Divine Savages – wallpaper.
