“A lot of people don’t get it, but I design from the inside out so that the finished product looks inevitable somehow. I think it’s important to create spaces that people like to be in, that are humanistic.” ~ FRANK GEHRY “Simplicity and repose are the qualities that measure the true value of any work of art.” ~ FRANK LLOYD WRIGHT “It is all very well to copy what one sees, but it is far better to draw what one now only sees in one’s memory. That is a transformation in which imagination collaborates with memory.” ~ EDGAR DEGAS “Drawing is like making an expressive gesture with the advantage of permanence.” ~ HENRI MATISSE
esign and art takes a critical view of social, political and cultural issues. It deconstructs the American dream, fairy tales, nursery rhymes, and lullabies that are part of our childhood and adult culture. Having engaged subjects as diverse as the overly manly sculptures by Jorge Lizandra to a French street artist, André Saraiva, gone big or the simple drinking glass designed by Leonardo Borra. Satellite reproduces familiar visual signs, arranging them into new conceptually layered pieces. While Satellite uses a variety of subjects and processes each subject so that our methodology is consistent to you the reader. We hope you enjoy this exciting issue.

GENIO X
LEONARDO BORRA Every distillate taster knows that the tasting glass plays a central role in the experience. In particular, the
physical and mechanical characteristics of the glass are fundamental to best appreciate all qualities of distillates. Bearing all of this in their mind, Blueside Emotional Design presented its Genio glass, an innovative tasting glass whose shape reminds of Aladdin’s lamp, of course. Leonardo Borra, who designed the glass, chose to provide the glass with two chambers, so as to allow the liquid to fully release its fragrances while slowly streaming from one chamber to the other one. The first chamber is used to pour the distillate, while the second

one serves as a real tasting container. Genio (“genie”), which resembles the famous “Aladdin’s lamp,” is held intimately in the palm of the hand, transmitting the warmth of the hand to the spirit to bring out its aroma and flavor. Leonardo Borra was born in Perugia in 1976 and graduated in architecture. He mainly focus on the shape of objects that are intrinsically connected following the context, time and place they are in. He currently works in an architectural studio handling design object projects. Blueside-Design.com

s image everything? With Finn Magee’s Flat Life series, the answer is yes! A two-dimensional image performs as if it were the three-dimensional object. Here, magic, humor and surprise combine into a fully functional clock. The Flat Time is the next step in the series (the first was a lamp... a must see). It uses a custom crystal oscillator circuit which works with US and European power supplies. (Most bedside clocks rely on the frequency of the mains power supply to keep time.) He programmed some greeting text into it too. The designer of this wall claock is Finn Magee, trained as a product designer at the Royal College of Art, London. He is interested in how we consume objects and ideas. He uses advertising techniques such as surprise, juxtaposition and humor to create and sell products. Some of these are fictional and some commercial but they all aim to prompt awareness about the actual needs of the customer and citizen. FinnMagee.com

ARCANE ROOTS A
rcane Roots announce they will be releasing a brilliant, completely brand new single ‘Over & Over’, on June 9th through Play It Again Sam. As with debut album ‘Blood & Chemistry’, ‘Over & Over’ was recorded at Moles Studio in Bath and is produced by Dan Austin (Doves, Biffy Clyro, Pixies). The track will be available on digital formats only and will act as a stop-gap between album campaigns, very much pointing towards the musical direction for Arcane Roots in the future. After a year of touring and supporting the biggest and best rock bands on the planet, ‘Over & Over’ is the sound of a band finding their musical feet and preparing to take over the world with a new higher ambition. p.

Andrew Groves from the band says: “Over & Over is, musically, our reaction to having had one of the most incredible years of our life, supporting some of our biggest inspirations and building a relationship with our fans world wide. Our music was oriented around our individual parts for so long, but now, our attention is more firmly focused on what effect our parts can create. Our favourite moments are when we are completely in sync with the audience and so we wanted to give you something to sing, dance & rock out to, whether you even know the song or not. Lyrically, this song is about making a commitment and seeing it out through the good and bad, and in a way, that is our commitment to our fans.”

The hotly tipped alt-indie trio have announced their new single ‘Harm’. ‘Harm’ was the official anthem of the Berlin Festival. David says,”We wrote this track in the summer of 2012 when we were in a huge disco state of mind. All we wanted to do was deliver the funk slow, sexy but still dancey. So one night Nils came up with this guitarlick and we started playing around with it. The lyrics and vocals came naturally. It’s about that situation when two boys are in love with the same girl and start messing with each other.” PoolOfficial.com p.

FEDERICO BABINA archist city
The collection of 27 images, entitled Archist, playfully interprets the styles and themes of some of the world’s greatest artists including Picasso, Salvador Dali and Joan Miro, and imagines them as architectural forms. Babina explores the symbiotic relationship between architecture and art, and how they would interact with each other. “Art and architecture are disciplines that speak and lightly touch each other,” explained Babina. “The definition and function of architecture is changing constantly with the development of contemporary art.” The artist tried to imagine what a house designed by Dali or a museum designed by Miro might look like. “A sculpture is like a microarchitecture, a facade can become like a painted p.

canvas and a building can be shaped as in the hands of a skilled sculptor,” he said. Among some of the most recognisable works is Roy Lichtenstein’s comic-book style and block colour schemes laid over a Moderniststyle house on stilts. Sliced images of Warhol’s Marilyn Diptych are spread across rooms decorated in bright colours with two Campbell’s tomato soup cans placed atop the rectangular building. Damien Hirst’s 2005 piece Wrath of God featuring a shark set in formaldehyde and his colourful dot series Mickey are used to bring a modular building to life. An eclectic and almost random arrangement of shapes make up the Picasso building, echoing the artist’s dabblings with Cubism. Marcel Duchamp’s building, meanwhile, draws on the artist’s Roue de Bicyclette, reinterpreting it as a pulley system watched over by issue

Andre Saraiva S
treet artist André Saraiva recently sat down to talk about the man behind the sticklegged “Mr. A” character has drawn and painted all over the globe different works. It’s about his infatuation with the character and his attitude towards the night. Satellte: Andre, how many times have you drawn your famous graffiti tag the long-legged Mr. A? Andre: 100,000, maybe 200,000 times? I spent periods of my life where, if I didn’t do 10 Mr. A’s a day, because I had stayed home, I would have to do 20 the day after. Imagine! I have been doing that for 20, almost 30 years now. S: When was the last time you drew Mr. A? A: Today. Look at the color on my fingers. I don’t do it as much as I used to, but I still enjoy it so much. It’s the thing that gives me the most pleasure and what connects everything I do. S: How did you start doing graffiti? A: When I arrived in Paris I was ten years old and I couldn’t speak French. I had to find my way so I started to draw a lot, which I was always good at, and when I was thirteen, fourteen years old that resulted in me starting to do graffiti. S: Do you have any favorite spots that you’ve painted? A: Some of the billboards I painted were amazing. I painted the Gucci billboard you can see from the pool here at the Chateau Marmont in LA. Nobody had ever painted this one before. That was three years ago. I also loved to paint billboards and rooftops in Tokyo. That was very exciting. But sometimes a small graffiti would give me more joy than a huge piece. S: Has the attitude towards your graffiti in the public space changed now that people know who you are? A: No, I still get a lot of shit! Especially in America. I’m not worried about going to jail, I’ve been to jail. But they would kick me out of the country and you are never allowed to come back. It’s happened to friends of mine. MonsieurA.com no.

“There is always an element of contrast in what we do here,” explains Kris Van Assche of his latest collection. “And the idea of sport – an element I have had since my first collection, where all of the shoes were white Stan Smiths with a green logo – versus the grown-up, chic connotations of cognac as both a drink and a classic colour of men’s leather goods, was a combination I wanted to explore. The men who have grown up with sportswear, wearing it since they were boys, are often some of the most sophisticated fashion customers. Because they have always had an eye for detail – whether they are looking at a trainer or a handmade shoe. The collection is about that personal interpretation of the rules and the codes of menswear, not adhering to the prescribed, clichéd view of a choice of either ‘sport’ or ‘chic’ – it’s both. The attitude of the collection is anti-precious, avoiding ‘the dandy’, playful, yet still enjoying the refined.” Top ~ Polka dot dbl breasted jacket, Classic shirt with black wingtip print, Sweater with holes and black dots Middle ~ Transparent rubberised sunglasses, Polka dots pleated shorts, Sneakers with crocodile pattern Bottom ~ Polka dots short length pants, Hiking backpack, Scark with ehite polka dots no.

ccentric, compulsive, private, pack-rat, secretive, voyeur — just a few words that describe the personality behind the amazing, recently discovered street photographer Vivian Maier. When John Maloof purchased a box of negatives for $380.00 at an auction he had no idea what he was in for. Initially, the purchase was made for research on a book about his Chicago neighborhood, Portage Park. He rummaged through the box of negatives and saw some interesting compositions, but unfortunately not what he was looking for. He found the name Vivian Maier on one of the envelopes, and like any curious individual he took “ Vivian Maier” straight to Google, nothing came up. There were no references to any photographers with that name, so he let the box sit for a while.
The spirit of Vivian must have compelled John Maloof back to that box, because when he took a second look he was still impressed and decided to scan a few images and put them up on Flicker. It started to gain a lot of attention, so he continued his research finding an obituary for Vivian and an address that lead him to a man that said Vivian had been his nanny. A nanny? Why would a nanny have these beautiful street images akin to the work of Diane Arbus, Henri Cartier Bresson, and even Alfred Steiglitz? His investigation was underway and he found over 100 people that knew Vivian. As time would tell, this mysterious 6 ft. shutterbug/nanny was emerging into a talent time would not soon forget. John got into Vivian’s storage locker just before it was going to be dumped and what he discovered was incredible.
The work of a pack-rat, collector of things, a time capsule of a woman’s life, boxes of undeveloped film and thousands of negatives. The film “Finding Vivian Maier” by John Maloof and Charlie Siskel takes you on the journey of discovering who this woman was. Often intimate and private, sometimes slightly disturbing and other times enchanting, there is no doubt Vivian Maier was a woman who enjoyed the journey of photography. The freedom that came with taking pictures is evident, sometimes a voyeur and other times a social tool that let her engage with the rest of the world. This documentary engages, surprises and enlightens. I know I won’t be the only photographer scouring eBay looking for a Rolleiflex of my own. VivianMaier.com

erry Edward Briceland and Matthew Adams make up teb Interiors: a Toronto based Custom Home Furnishings and Design Firm. They work out of Design Republic, a popular furniture store in the hip Queen West area, which is where we met to talk some teb. Aeryn: Can you recall why you became designers? Matthew: I’ve always liked unique stuff, and I love the reaction of someone saying, “Where did you get that?” and being able to say “I made it”. We’re both self taught. Terry: It’s nice to make something new. If we want or need something, we figure out how to make it ourselves. I want to be able to create things that are different, edgy and cool. I want people to know distinctively that it’s by us. There are tattoo artists, strippers, drag queens and cool people out there who like nice things as well; and I am just the guy to design all those things for them. What happened was, we were working separately by ourselves at home and often we would pass this store called Design Republic with all these cool things in the window. So one day I got the balls and just went in and said “Hey we make cool pillows do you wanna sell them in your store?”, and next thing you know they were saying “Well why don’t you just move in?” So we did. A: What would you say are your main influences when conceiving a piece of work? M: The fabric would be the seed. We would say “That would be really cool as an ottoman in this shape, or in that shape, with nail heads or tufting”. The world around me is inspirational as well. I think no.

a lot of industrial stuff is very inspirational for us. Trying to combine elements of refinement with elements of unfinished, or old and rotting. T: If I’m just coming in to the shop on the streetcar and I see someone’s bag for instance and I like those colors and the way somebody’s put something together, I re-imagine that and take the feeling that I got and turn it into a bed. Or an ottoman. Or a pillow. Things I see on a TV, I’ll like the color combinations or the textures and turn that inspiration into something. A: How did you get to be known for your teb pillows? T: Pillows are so much easier to be really creative with, because they’re like a blank canvas. I have a note app in my phone and it’s stacked with lists of hundreds and hundreds of ideas and inspirations that will all of a sudden pop into my head. Color combinations. The Tin man from the wizard of Oz. Anything I can think of. And one day I’ll try to remember to turn that into a pillow somehow. A lot of times we’ll even think of somebody we like and try to make a pillow, not that looks like them, but that feels like them. That started because Matt taught himself how to silk screen. And we thought, “Let’s try silk screening on pillows”. The first one we tried was the Union Jack. M: I had made a Union Jack pillow. My wife’s a teacher and her school does an auction where people donate things to be auctioned and so we put together some pillows and one of them happened to be a Union Jack pillow. It was a combination of a few images I put together, like a stamp and skulls and a crown; kind of edgy. It wasn’t just a piece of fabric we have, we cut the pieces and sewed them all together. The blue is a separate piece and the reds’ a separate issue

piece. T: They’re all lined with a purple fabric. Purple is kind of our trademark color; like Christian Louboutin’s red soles on the shoes, we’re purple. We have purple zippers, purple lining, every pillow has a little purple loop in the corner and on the inside it’s lined with purple fabric. With that purple loop sometimes we’ll hang things on it. We have this pillow called Naughty Girl. It’s a pillow of a girl grabbing her ass in fishnets and she’s got handcuffs on, so before this one is done we’ll attach little handcuff keys to the loop so you can “unlock her handcuffs”. A: What comes first - the materials or the design idea? M: It changes. Sometimes if Terry sees something on his way into work then you have to source all the other stuff out, but there’s no one formula for us. It’s very organic. An idea is gonna hit you anytime, anywhere and you just have to be open to it. Terry motions to his phone. T: These are my notes. All these are inspirational ideas that I, one day need to get on and make pillows or something out of and check them off the list. Like here, “Mindy’s hound’s-tooth dress”. I was watching that show The Mindy Project. She had a dress on with big hound’stooth checks on it and it was sequined, and I thought , hey, that could make an awesome pillow or a bed or ………. something. A: How do you choose your materials? T: When it comes to our own stuff we’re a bit more picky. But a lot of customers worry too much about “what type of fabric should I use for my curtains?”. We try as much as we can to just use anything we want. If you want a chair upholstered p.

in silk, just do it! It looks amazing! We try not to limit ourselves. M: Or limit our customers. We try to educate them. You can use anything. There’s no rule except for actual physical limitations. If you like it, then it’s right. A: What part of the creative process excites you the most? T: The beginning and the end. The middle blows. M: There’s two parts. The beginning when you’re super excited, the idea pops in your head and you start to form it and you start to visualize what you want it to turn into. It’s really exciting to put that image together. And then you have to start to figure it all out. Then when you’re done, and you step back and it’s madeT: And it works. M: That’s really exciting. T: And other people love it and it sells. Dude, that feels fucking awesome. M: For me figuring out some of the technical aspects to building something, in a nerdy kind of way is cool, but as soon as you’re done it, you’ve spent so much time with it, then you’re done it and you want to move onto the next thing. A: What do you regard as the greatest success of your career to date? T: We’ve made some stuff for celebrities. We’ve made pillows for Khloe Kardashian, Elton John, Laurence Fishburne came in and bought some of our pillows. Guillermo Del Torro bought some pillows from here. I also made Kat Von D a pillow. She’s a big Beethoven fan, so we copied the star tattoos on her eyes and put them on Beethoven’s face on the pillow and there was a raccoon tail hanging from the purple loop and it was all ripped with leopard skin and spikes on it. It was awesome. A: What’s next for teb interiors? M: We’re always expanding. We want to expand our audience. We have lots of customers now so we know people with our tastes are out there. We just want more of them to find us. T: And Lighting. We are developing a new line of Marquee signs and lights for the home. Just like our teb sign as well as quite a few other styles and designs.

lexandra Hart is known for her sophisticated and artful couture jewelry and metal sculpture. With both Bachelors and Masters degrees in art and metalsmithing, with fashion experience designing for Lagerfeld and Givenchy jewelry, and with fine jewelry design and manufacturing with Barbara Heinrich Studio, she has achieved the synergy among artistic inspiration, high design and skillful craftsmanship that many artists spend their entire careers chasing. Satellite wanted to get to know the designer behind these beautiful sulped body pieces. Satellite: Can you recall how or why you became a jewelry designer? Alexandra: I was always creative and details oriented growing up, and discovering jewelry and metal working in high school was like “eating the icing off the cake-“ seemed too good to be true. It just fit! S: What would you say are your main influences when conceiving a piece of work? A: The theme of ocean creatures consistently appear to emerge in my work: some aspect or gesture or shape of animals, from arthropods to cephalopods. My interest in the biology and the science of nature is expressionistic in my work. S: What is sustainable jewelry and being part of Ethical Metalsmiths? A: What better way to communicate the importance sustainability than to design natural forms? Sustainable jewelry is that which is made from
natural resources yet does not leave the environment worse off than before. While there are some responsible mining practices, I prefer to work with reclaimed precious metals. A nice thing about high value natural materials, they are always recycled! My work on the board of Ethical Metalsmiths is to help educate, network and promote these kinds of responsible practices to the jewelry industry.
Design, I celebrate the beauty in the unexpected- the sensual curves of a sea slug, or the radiant spines of a sea urchin- and still relate the pieces to the human body as “jewelry.”
S: What comes first - the materials or the design idea? A: Definitely the design! In fact, the materials and techniques are decided by the design- for example the best way to create a particular shape may be in a certain metal, color, and with a certain technique.
S: What do you regard as your greatest success in your career to date? A: Being invited to exhibit my “jewelry” in museums, such as Mingei, Oceanside Museum of Art, the Athenaeum, and CCAE, is one of the highest compliments to an artist.
S: How do you choose your materials? A: Mostly by their particular properties and workability- some materials lend themselves better to the shapes or functions of a particular design project. For example copper is very malleable and can be formed readily when annealed, it also can be patina to a range of beautiful colors, thus was the choice for this Arthropod Series.
S: What do you enjoy doing apart from designing your beautiful pieces? A: I enjoy running my fabulous dog, gardening, hiking, riding (motorcycle and horses), mentoring teens and doing “good” around the world by working with non-profit organizations.
S: What part of the creative process excites you the most? A: I think the part when the design in my head, even worked out on paper, starts to develop, evolve, and look even better as its being made in metal….! S: What makes you different/unique from other designers? A: I am not only willing to ignore boundaries and categories of Art and
S: What’s next for Alexandra Hart? A: I am developing a new series of bracelets which will be either “symbiotic” or “parasitic” in nature… alongside expanding my production line of sterling and diamond jewelry, all sustainably sourced of course. (AlexandraHart.com/collections/ pure-flight/pure-flight-necklace) Also on the radar, a possible trip to Zimbabwe this summer: Hoping to merge my work with Compassion for African Villages with my career and Ethical Metalsmiths work, such that I can help improve lives in Zimbabwe where so many natural resources are being exploited for the jewelry industry.

his 25 Edition rounds up some of today’s most exceptional and inspiring interiors on six continents. Making stops in North and South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australia, the painstakingly chosen and sumptuously photographed selection of 100 interiors represents a global spectrum of contemporary styles, from rustic minimalism to urbane eclecticism. What unites these dwellings is authenticity, a love of detail, and a zest for individual expression that will never go out of fashion.
P
oised at the start of the 21st century, we can see clearly that the previous century was marked by momentous changes in the field of design. Aesthetics entered into everyday life with often staggering results. Our homes and workplaces turned into veritable galleries of style and innovation.

ver the years, talented architects have occasionally indulged themselves with the challenge of designing small but perfectly formed buildings. Today, with reduced budgets, many architects have turned in a more focused way to creating works that may be diminutive in their dimensions, but are definitely big when it comes to trendsetting ideas. Whether in Japanese cities, where large sites are hard to come by, or at the frontier between art and architecture, small buildings present many advantages, and push their designers to do more with less.

panning 125 years, Art and Queer Culture is the first major historical survey to consider the ways in which the codes and cultures of homosexuality have provided a creative resource for visual artists. Attempts to trouble the conventions of gender and sexuality, to highlight the performative aspects of identity and to oppose the tyranny of the normal are all woven into the historical fabric of homosexuality and its representation. From Oscar Wilde to Ryan Trecartin, from the molly houses of eighteenth-century London to the Harlem drag balls of the 1920s, the flamboyant refusal of social and sexual norms has fuelled the creation of queer art and life throughout the modern period.
Also includes an informative introductory essay, comprehensive glossary and an illustrated time line placing the works in their political and cultural contexts. Phaidon.com
