provoking the launch of prograes

11.07.2005 | Toothless Tiger

where did it all start ?

It was because I was tired of Arne Jacobsen, Royal Copenhagen, commercialised products.
and NOT commercialised by the artist itself, but the company behind the artist.
Everything in Denmark needs to be pretty.

all the good design has been milked for everything it’s got. will I have an Arne Jacobsen “egg chair” in my livingroom ? nope.

I might get the money to buy it. but there is nothing new under the sun – it’s a classic – sure, and it has really good design ( probably one of the best in the world).. but I am really feed up with
a, tv programs on design
b, magazines about design

because they seem to be living in the world of “cool”… and Arne has to be in every magazine.
every tv-show about design the word “Arne Jacobsen” is being mentioned at least 25 times. he died a long time ago. He’s genuine and a classic.

leave the man alone now.. let him rest in peace !

let’s do something new shall we ?

no more replicas or plagiats!

the geek world of the internet is where thou shall search.

welcome to Prograes – we are launched before next monday – spread the word people, this is going to be big !

the platform is going to be based at http://www.prograes.com - but I will still be blogging from my corner of the ring…
