a store visit with Galerie Half

....
the melodies in my mind (2011)





Galerie Half is a transcendent place. It is a store that blends American primitive works, with the lines of great Swedish, Belgian, French, and Danish furniture works. Galerie Half is for those that believe that rooms need a soul and a sense of history and purpose. On trips to the store, I've come across stunning works by Jean Royere, Kurt Olsen, Poul Henningsen, and Borge Mogensen to name a few. For those that read YHBHS, Galerie Half wrote one of my favorite Card Catalog entries last year for the site. (read it here.)

When researching furniture/design, songs are often in my mind. I see shapes and lines that will remind me of a melody, that slowly turn into muted colors, that eventually become a room. These images were taken by Marco Annunziata, a photographer based in Italy and L.A. who specializes in architecture/interior photography.

Underneath our feet, Crystals grow like plants
(Listen how they grow) I'm blinded by the lights
(Listen how they grow), In the core of the earth
(Listen how they grow)

(crystalline, listen here)







I've been looking for your touch.
I've been looking for your touch.
I've been looking for your touch.
everything, you touch....

listen here: holy other







Don't ask me when but ask me why
Don't ask me how but ask me where
There is a road, there is a way
There is a place, there is a place
I know places we can go babe
Coming home, come unfold babe

(I know places... here)









Do you feel any better now?
I'm trying to follow what you told me,
A little, lost colony from the start,
We never see what only you can say

(Relocate, KAUF, here)
