On my way to Basel I stopped in Karlsruhe for the “kkaarrlls! Furnishings to come” exhibition, which has a better title in German that says “kkaarrlls! Perspektiven für den Hausrat von morgen”. That’s an excellent example for what can wrong when you try to translate titles.
Have a look at names. They are to the point, mostly even funny and a nice exception, because they don’t feel the pressure to translate them in English. I mean, it’s a German edition collections and they stay true to their ancestry. I made this selection mainly because of their names (also aesthetics!) but even if Cordula Kehrer decided to use an English title, I simply love what she has done with this old bins by adding wickerwork. That’s why she is a part of this post.
The exhibition at the Badisches Landesmuseum in Karlsruhe runs until 8th January 2012.
I am not sure what it is, to be honest. But it’s definitely German!
Third-person singular perfect active indicative of explodō. It’s latin. Also German is build on the Italic language.
Dozzing hose could be a possible translation.
