ÖÖ: Was it a Dream? 94 Berwick Street; 14-24 September
I may have butchered the Estonian language with that title, ‘ÖÖ‘ actually translates to night. Isn’t it funny, to me it looks like two wide-open eyes with eyelashes . Then again I accept that Korean might look like wheels and boxes to others: 완전미안… I disgress. Ellen and I were fabric shopping on Berwick street and happened to come across this exhibition – a pop-up concept store named ‘ÖÖ: Was it a Dream?‘, exhibiting work from six nordic countries as part of the Icon Design Trail. I was lured in by that characteristic Nordic ambience – that particular mood which an image of steaming blood on fresh-fallen snow might induce, this unsettling vision amidst a static-calm… kind of like a dream. Each piece had that ever-so-slight tilt in the balance of simple vs. minimal that made me feel slightly uneasy, but eventually I had to give in to its charismatic way of expressing so much with so little.
wow, amazing stuff!

Öööööhhh… (which would be German for ‘Hmmmmmm’, well nearly)… This is some interesting knitwear, but what fascinates me most is the cosy, comfortable corset.
The most colorful piece is a favorite of mine.

that is just happiness packaged in a sweater: the cloud + poppies!
hahaha that’s funny. i never thought ÖÖ looks like eyes. but that’s probably because we use tem in our language too. and korean does look like wheels and boxes :) very inspiring photos!!
Theres a Korean restaurant near my house that we call “house face ten” because thats what the characters look like. I need to find out what its actually called…haha
Oooo! indeed… love that jumper. Lovely blog by the way!
