And now for something completely different....

Austrians do doors

Austrian artist Klemens Torggler has reinvented the door with his latest project.

Called the Evolution Door, the 4-panel door opens and closes elegantly as though it's made of pieces of paper. Roggler calls it a "twist panel door" (or "Drehplattentür").

Torggler has a few variations on this door, one with the origami-esque triangles that fold out to help the door move, and another system with rods that rotate two square panels.

Currently the door is a prototype, and comes in a glass, steel, and wood version.

The gangster stripe

One of our clients mentioned that the wider the stripe of the suit, the more senior the member was in the "organization". Pin stripes are for foot soldiers. I have no idea if that is true as Al Capone was not a client of ours, but we found this denim chalk stripe from Caccioppoli rather fetching, and yes, it had to be double breasted with five inch wide lapels to give it a slightly retro look, perfect for the Goodwood Revival (Cadillac optional).

And yes, the stripes on the collar and lapels match on both sides.

Excuse the language, but I think one gets the point
