DESIGN DESIRE TOPIC OF THE WEEK:

A DESIGN CLASSIC

HAPPY NEW YEAR to all.
It's a brand new day, brand new year for us... 
and a brand new 'blog' by me.
I wonder what will be the very first topic for Design Desire? Well perhaps we go back to the past? OK not in the bad way, but celebrating something beautiful simply called 'DESIGN CLASSICS'.
Many moons ago I was asked by 'Concept For Living' magazine "what separates substandard products from the true classics?" 
I'm sure we have our own items at home from a stereo player, a ring to a piece of furniture that we called our 'BEST' design classics!
So this is my answer (published/printed) to 'Concept For Living': 
“I am nominating the one and only modern luxury – the Barcelona Chair. A design that was originally created for the German Pavilion at Barcelona and also as seating for King Alfonso XIII and his queen. Designed by famous Bauhaus architect Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich it was released in 1929 and based on an ancient classical folding stool. It is now produced with high quality stainless steel and hand buffed to a mirror finish. The deep-buttoned leather upholstered cushion removable and available with a choice of colours such black, white, brown even red to name a few. The design is classic, beautifully crafted with a touch of elegance and wow factor. It is not only a favourite item for the home but also a popular feature in corporate lobbies.”


NOTE: see manufacturer before purchasing your own 'Barcelona Chair'.

A DESIGN CLASSIC Malay Translation:
SELAMAT TAHUN BARU semua.
Hari baru, tahun baru untuk kita... dan 'blog' baru dari saya.
Secara peribadi saya berfikir apakah tajuk pertama untuk Design Desire? Apa kata kalau kita perpatah arah pada masa yang lalu? OK bukan melangkah belakang secara tandus, tetapi   menyambut keunggulan 'REKAAN KLASIK'.
Beberapa bulan yang lalu majalah 'Concept for Living' telah meneraju kan soalan kepada saya "Apakah yang menbezakan rekaan harian dari ketulinan yang unggul di panggil klasik?
Saya pasti kita menpunyai barangan di rumah dari peti stereo, cincin jari kepada sebuah perabut yang kita panggil rekaan klasik 'TERBAIK'! 
Jadi ini lah jawapan (diterbit/dicetak) kepada 'Concept For living':
"Saya mencalonkan satu-satunya rekaan modern mewah (kerusi) – the Barcelona Chair. Rekaan asal nya ada lah untuk 'German Pavilion' di Barcelona dan rekaan nya juga ada lah untuk di duduki oleh King Alfonso XIII and permaisuri nya. Rekaan yang di cipta oleh arkitek terkenal zaman Bauhaus bernama Ludwig Mies van der Rohe and Lilly Reich di terbitkan pada tahun 1929 and bertema kan kerusi lipat zaman lama. Sekarang rekaan ini di terbit kan secara teliti mengunakan barangan besi yang bermutu secara kilat serta mengunakan kerja tangan untuk mendapat kan ketulinan 'kilat' besi secara tindak balas cermin. Butang di jahit kearah dalam pada permukaan kerusi yang beralas kulit tulin ini boleh juga 'cushion' nya di alih kan. Ia juga di terbit kan dengan berbagai warna kulit pilihan yang indah seperti hitam, putih, perang serta merah. Rekaan kerusi ini adalah klasik, tercipta dengan anggun dan terserlah pada mata memandang. Kerusi ini bukan sahaja menjadi kegemaran untuk di rumah malah ia juga merupakan kegemaran untuk di hiasi di pejabat 'corporate' ruang tamu menunggu."
NOTE: teliti dahulu 'manufacturer' sebelum membeli 'Barcelona Chair'.
