Lola Bikes & Coffee




























Today I met Lola, I had been eyeing on her for a while; driving my still shitty bike past the storefront excited to see what was going to happen inside. The Lola-crew is still test-driving and will have an semi-official opening still ahead. For now the coffee taste good, the sweets were sweet, the bikes look great. I managed to snap up 2 coffee but had no chance to take a bike home unfortunately..  I'm sure in no time Lola will be a full-packed hangout. I wanted to speak to the (superfriendly) owner today about this project but he was already too busy with pumping tires, fixing bikes and fixing coffees. I will be back though.

The New Glint of Things



Over time, dark spots start to appear on mirrors. The silver layer is slowly oxidizing under the influence of oxygen and water, thereby showing some of its history. This process can be regarded as degradation, however this project shows the beauty of this material transition of silver. 

Normally, the oxidation process in a mirror occurs randomly and evolves slowly over time. These mirrors reveal the different states of this process. In this case, sulphur is used to create an accelerated oxidation process. Depending on the time that the silver is reacting with sulphur, different colour tones can be achieved, ranging from gold to brown, to purple to blue. The states of the oxidation process are being shown in a pattern that consists of the elemental geometric shapes.
