What's more beautiful than coloured wineglasses from cheap stores? Well, everything, I hear you think. But that's not the point right now...
In Venice we visited the artist Alessandro Merlin. He had a shop in a very narrow lane and sold all kinds of ceramics. Our eyes were immediately drawn to these Jean Cocteau-like cups. It was definately an inspiration to him, together with the work of Tom of Finland.
His workplace behind the shop had one wall full of other sources for inspiration. Mainly naked men. It reminded us of our bedroom wall when we first moved in together in our tiny little room. We had a wall quite like that. It was a few years before we got an internet connection and now I think of it, you could consider it the first, non-digital version of the Zephyr-Files!
