Interiors - June/July 2010

SOME THINGNE W
RECEIVING AN INVITATION TO A WEDDING is one of
modern society’s most pleasurable moments. Love‚
frosting‚ belabored small talk—all the pageantry of
details meant to distinguish this celebration from all others
before it. In truth‚ it is a joy to attend such occasions‚ a
prospect dampened only by the cloyingly unoriginal
wedding registry. An unwavering beacon of the couple’s
real motivations‚ this list is typically too aspirational‚ too
absurd or too solemnly humanitarian. Coloring outside the
lines of prescribed domestic bliss is far more rewarding for
both bestower and recipient: there are chic‚ interesting
gifts to present‚ beginning with these richly nocturnal‚
atmospheric limited edition Camera Obscura plates‚ an
intriguing collaboration between Swiss artist Magdalena
Gerber and renowned French house Bernardaud. A
surreal blur of video stills paused on a porcelain canvas‚
they are exceptional art for the contemporary pair.
