Rainer Spehl

Schrank2

An old friend (and neighbour) of Jeremie’s, Rainer Spehl, is a very talented craftsman. From furniture, interior and exhibition design, Rainer’s choice of materials, the detailing and the incorporation of the respective surroundings are characteristic for his work. They aim to be of the highest standard; functionally – as well as aesthetically. See a selection [...]

Washed Out

Washed Out‘s new album ‘Within and Without’ released on Sub Pop Records. Washed Out‘s Life Of Leisure EP never really went off high rotation on my Itunes library in the two years since it was released, so I was of course excited (but wasn’t expecting) to hear that his debut album was out.

Fitzcarraldo

Picture-40
