With December looming all around us we’re hearing the words “Gee is it that time of year already?”  “Doesn’t time fly”; and it most truly does in our current fast paced world. This is why Phillip K. Smith III has taken to a small shack just outside of Joshua Tree, California for his latest art installation Vision Stead. Vision Stead...

The showroom is always alive with some great songs.  Usually the DJ’ing task is undertaken by Yael or Tom and the tunes of choice stream from our Philippe Starck Parrot speakers. A regular on the KE-ZU playlist is Parov Stelar, the Austrian born artist (or cool cat) who fuses together the past and the present for this electro swing beats...

Lada Gaga.  Two words that conjure a lot of emotion for me, most of it not so positive. Did you happen to catch Gaga’s opening act for Saturday Night Live this weekend?  If not, we’ve got it here for you.  Slipping out of her meat dress and donning sparkly 1930's-esque ensemble, the New York native had no dramas poking fun...

Jane Russell’s lookin’ for trouble… and with these warm summer days in Sydney we’re all out for a bit of trouble I imagine (apart from today's London-esque weather). The beauty of this era is its cocktail of sex appeal, class, and pizzazz - with Russell the mixologist in this number for the 1954 film The French Line with the then-provocative...

I adore the United States.  Further, I love California… in fact, so much so that in homage I had the outline of The Golden State etched into my skin last time I visited.  In an ode to perhaps the only decent song featuring the word “California” save for 2Pac’s California Love, some could say that I’m California dreamin’… Alas, this...

With Halloween around the corner we thought we might put on a little special this week – nothing too outrageous, we don’t want to scare you off but the classic Screamin’ Jay Hawkins’ I Put a Spell on You is such a great song it deserves its time in the KE-ZU sun.

Wishing and hoping and thinking and praying, planning and dreaming ... for KE-ZU week 6! Andreu World - New Ronda Lievore, Altherr & Molina's New Ronda released in Orgatec 2012, exudes sensuality and comfort characterised by the synthesis between shape and constructive language. An extremely elegant and minimalist swivel chair with star base and shell available in oak veneered curved...

There’s talent, and then there’s talent.  On the talent scale, Neri&Hu, the Shanghai based multi-disciplinary Design and Research Office (even sounds great, doesn’t it) the scope of their work makes them living legends. Neri&Hu’s work spans architecture, interior, master planning, graphic, and product design services and each project is a step in the direction of greatness.  Currently working heavily internationally...

Creativity is a wondrous thing.  Creativity so often is about process, as importantly as it is about the result.  Often we only get to see a finished product as the artist would allow us to see, but think about this… what if the process was the art itself and a different artist used somebody else’s creative process to adapt into...
