Hasta La Motion!

Peter Saville’s 90s era “garçonniere” is like cocaine for the eyeballs. All terrifying minimalism, pale colours, and plush, satin, 3d letters seeping from the walls – AHHHHHHHHH. We want to live here forever!!!!

“An enigmatic figure in the design world, Art Director Peter Saville asked friend and collaborator Ben Kelly to turn a seventies-chic Mayfair apartment into a suitably ambiguous live/work/gallery space, 
using minimal intervention. Boasting an original Verner Panton floor-to-ceiling light fixture, acres of smoked glass, tinted mirrors and high-gloss finishes, BKD added accents with bright green paint, creamy carpets, select artworks and dramatic lighting. A soft-sculpture telephone number rendered in pink satin, a startled mannequin and the occasional paint explosion, provided further layers of spontaneity within an otherwise super-cool interior.” – from benkellydesign.com

We don’t usually post up mixes at WMIG unless they are our own; BUT – with that being said – these 2 mixes became exception worthy as soon as the syrupy helicopters flew in at the top of the tape. The FADER folks sent this over from the Ladyhawke blog and we had instant flashbacks of last summer on the oaky yacht decks of Vancouver after late mornings at the Gorgomish. Download them here.
