EVENTS A Path In The Forest by Tetsuo Kondo 30 January, 2012 The incredibly beautiful "A Path in the Forest" by architect Tetsuo Kondo was a temporary installation in the Kadriorg Park near Tallinn, Estonia. It was part of Tallinn's 2011 European Capital of Culture activities and in particular, part of LIFT11, a festival of 11 urban installations. All other installations in LIFT11 were selected through a design competition, but Kondo was invited to create the Path. It was realized in partnership with the EU-Japan Fest Japan Committee.

They are visually stunning, make sounds, have a sculptural quality and they are manufactured just like any other highly-engineered industrial products. Born in Seoul, Korea, in 1974 Kim has explored the edges of art and product, sounds and visuals throughout his career. As his sound sculptures have no "practical use," they are defined as art but their intrigue lies in the technology behind them.

Yet it has become a luxury. More and more of us are sick of (literally and figuratively) the white, never-to-stale sliced bread in its never-to-biodegrade plastic bag. We crave for fresh artisanal breads, natural ingredients, heritage grains, organic everything. Those who value great-tasting, healthy bread will pay for quality. And with that quality and premium price comes the notion of design. Why should we buy that wonderful, healthy loaf at a horrible-looking bakery? Hominess and hearty fare are great, but does the environment have to look so "homey," too? Not any more. We are seeing more and more cool bakeries around the world. Our fans and followers helped us track down a few examples that meet the requirements at least visually. If the loaves and other baked goods created at these establishments remain consistently as great as their environments, you can count us in as fans.

So what's next? The creative minds at L'Hôtel de Vendôme in Paris set their eyes on "High Coffee." They don't call it that, but it certainly looks and feels like it. Every afternoon, superior gourmet coffee varieties are served according to the expertise of France's Best Roaster of 2011, Antoine Netien, and Tom Clark, owners of Paris's high-profile Coutume Café, and importers and roasters of vintage coffees.   Enticing the coffee-drinkers to elevate their experience to a sinful level of indulgence are dainty carts full of mouth-watering sweet delicacies created with the supervision of Luc Debove, Chef Pâtissier of the Grand Hotel of Cap Ferrat, that belongs to the same group as 1 Place Vendôme.
