2 COVET – MARCH 2010
UNIFORM WARES WATCHES
Uniform Wares produces objects and apparel intended for everyday use by individuals with an eye for meticulous design details.
Their products have an intentionally pared down form that is characterised by distinct colour. The colour of each product helps design its purpose, how it is used, what for and by whom.
The Uniform Wares aesthetic has been tailored with longevity in mind, we believe that a product should have a practical permanence. Each product is designed at Uniform Wares’ London headquarters.
PAUL SMITH FOR STELTON
Arne Jacobsen’s Cylinda-Line bar accessories have been around since the 1960s and the latest incarnation of the design is courtesy of Paul Smith, who has turned the classic set into “a gorgeous fantasy in black.” Titled simply ‘Statement,’ Smith gave the steel a black titanium finish and accented it with his own personal statements, engraved so the letters shine through the titanium in contrasting steel script, that say inspirational things like “take pleasure seriously” and “start something new.” The Statement bar set is available in limited edition and includes a cocktail mixer and spoon, shaker, ice bucket with tongs, a two-litre jug with strainer, small glass coasters and a serving tray.
THE 7L REMINDER – KARL LAGERFELD
The 7L Reminder is simply one of those really useful books. While traveling the world Karl Lagerfeld has, time and again, unsuccesfully searched for the perfect address/notebook.
So he conceived his own private notebook: with sufficient space for all those numbers one nowadays has to take down in order to communicate.
To satisfy his aesthetic needs he has equipped the book with a photo sequence by Japanese photographer Okada Kuwabara. Thus daily usage of the notebook turns into a perfect pleasure.
Printed on a light elegant paper — perfect for any writing implements — bound in soft dark blue leather, Smyth sewing for longevity, and covered in tissue paper, this is a must have luxury item.
