Föhr in Flammen von Eva-Maria Silber

Als Kind war ich ein paar Mal mit meinen Eltern im Urlaub auf Föhr. Ich hatte gehofft, dass ich ein paar Ecken wiedererkenne, aber entweder ist es zu lange her oder die Autorin hat andere Orte beschrieben als die, die ich damals besucht habe.   An einer Holzhütte auf Föhr werden fünf Leichen gefunden. Der Ermittler Jan Andretta wird dorthin beordert, um den Fall zu lösen. Ihm passt das gar…

The white hot clay story: Studio pottery in India is having its moment

At first glance, Andretta in Himachal Pradesh presents an array of familiar visuals associated with a place that borders tourist towns — steel-framed momo stalls, travel counters with colourful paper stamps to ferry you to the farthest reaches of the Himalayas, and general stores that sell everything from local soaps to souvenirs. However, this nondescript village, around nine kilometres from…

Hello from Andretta!

I've finally arrived in Andretta, Himachal Pradesh, where my journey with clay began. As part of my mentorship program, I will be spending 10 days at the Atelier Lalmitti studio with Elodie and Reyaz. This period is dedicated to learning and developing my work under their guidance, allowing for focused growth and exploration.

My Project: Sculptural Lamps and Lights

During my presentation, I outlined my intentions for creating sculptural lamps and lights. My focus is on developing forms that are organic yet minimalist, blending sculptural elements with geometric compositions. I aim to create functional objects that not only serve a purpose but also stand as modernist sculptures. This involves balancing form and function, often through designs resulting in hybrid objects that merge different concepts and aesthetics.

Inspired by artists like Ronan Bouroullec, who creates beautiful lamps made entirely of clay, and Dumais Made, known for their stunning lamp designs, I strive to create pieces that enhance the spaces they inhabit. My project involves exploring altered forms by integrating wheel throwing and handbuilding techniques, particularly slab building and section throwing, to develop innovative forms.

After an insightful discussion with my mentors, I began with two initial exercises. The first involves creating geometric forms like cubes, pyramids, and bricks using slab building techniques. This helps me understand the structural aspects of clay and how different shapes interact. The second exercise focuses on sketching overlapping geometric shapes, painting them, and exploring tessellation patterns. This helps me visualize how different shapes and patterns can create cohesive and captivating designs.

These exercises push my understanding of form and structure, aiding in the development of a unique aesthetic for my sculptural lamps and lights. I am excited to explore these ideas and delve into the concepts discussed during the mentorship. This is just the beginning of what promises to be an enriching journey.

Stay tuned for more updates on my progress!

Description: During the War, Vietnam's coast had to be protected against Viet Cong ambushes and smuggling. The U.S. forces had destroyers, cruisers and gargantuan aircraft carriers, none suited for inshore patrol. This is the story of the Brown Water Navy, the garage-band flotilla assembled to do the job.Douglas Branson has been to Vietnam several times, including trips in 1966, 1995 and 2011. The first time, he was a 22-year-old, Brown Water Navy lieutenant JG. Subsequent visits were as a consultant/tourist. Here, Branson recounts three of his Vietnam adventures with humor, detail and insight into the economic, political and gastronomic forces at work.

Review: I'll be honest, I didn't finish this book. I read the vietnam war part, and skipped the rest because even the war part was difficult to get through. This wasn't quite a 1 star book but it definitely came close. For anyone who has read anything about Operation Market Time, the Swift boats, or even coastal advisors - this book sets off red flags and alarm bells. The author has some very strong opinions about everyone and everything and often ... well ... let's just say that he vacillates wildly from complete bullshit to just plain stupid. Avoid this book and read Bob Andretta's Brown Water Runs Red for a better book on the Junk Force.

The recent stance of Challice, the parent company of Mulberry, has generated significant attention in the luxury fashion market. The company has decisively rejected an increased offer of £111 million ($144.9 million) from Mike Ashley’s Frasers Group to acquire the acclaimed British handbag manufacturer. The reluctance to sell reflects broader trends affecting brand strategy, particularly within luxury goods. Challice, controlled by Singaporean entrepreneur Christina Ong and her husband Ong Beng Seng, owns a 56% stake in Mulberry. This majority ownership uniquely positions Challice to block any attempted takeover, and they responded to Frasers Group's offer with a firm rejection. In their public statement, they described the bid as arriving at an “inopportune time” for the brand, which is currently grappling with financial challenges. This development followed Frasers Group's earlier bid of £83 million, which equated to 130 pence per share, also rejected by Mulberry. The latest proposal increased the share offer to 150 pence, underscoring Frasers' ambition as they already hold a 37% stake in Mulberry. Notably, the timing of Frasers' escalation in offers coincides with Mulberry's reported £34 million pre-tax loss for the fiscal year ending March 2024, which indicates troubling signs after a decline in sales. Frasers Group, which operates a portfolio of brands including Sports Direct and House of Fraser, expressed their concern about avoiding a situation like that of the collapsed Debenhams, where a potentially viable business was allowed to drift into administration. This bid signifies not just a financial move but also a strategic gamble to consolidate positions amid turbulent market conditions. As Mulberry looks to recover, the brand's management remains steadfast in its outlook. The appointment of Andrea Baldo as the new chief executive was met with optimism from the board, who believe this leadership shift, alongside a recent £10.75 million emergency share placing, provides a robust foundation for a turnaround. Baldo's background, which includes stints at Danish fashion label Ganni and a turnaround role at Diesel, hints at a potentially transformative period for the luxury brand. Challice’s public reluctance to engage with Frasers reflects their long-term commitment to Mulberry's independence and strategic realignment. They articulated their support for the company’s current management, reinforcing their belief in the Mulberry brand's value. In their communication, Challice expressed hope that Frasers would reconsider its intentions, asserting that their cooperation is essential for any potential takeover. The legacy of Mulberry, founded in 1971, is steeped in the craftsmanship of leather goods, particularly women's handbags that have enjoyed significant acclaim over the years. However, the brand is currently facing intensified competition from larger international players. The end of shopping tax breaks for tourists visiting the UK—an effect of Brexit—has further complicated Mulberry's market position, compelling the company to reassess its strategy in a challenging environment. In retrospect, the leadership of Thierry Andretta, who guided Mulberry since 2015, represented a period of pushing the brand upmarket. However, Baldo’s arrival suggests a potential pivot back to a wider appeal, which could re-capture lost market share and enhance consumer engagement. These ongoing developments in the luxury sector reflect a broader narrative where brands must navigate complex market dynamics while maintaining their unique identities. The interplay between ownership, management strategy, and market demand poses significant challenges and opportunities. The refusal of Challice to engage with Frasers presents a calculated strategic move emphasizing Mulberry’s resilience and vision for recovery. As luxury consumers become increasingly discerning, this independence may serve the brand well in the long term, allowing it to redefine its market strategy without the distractions of external acquisitions.
