My first glass side table bought to my first apartment was from IKEA. It was a minimal glass and metall table which looked more like a dentist table in my eyes.
Industrial type design. I loved it.
My design savvy relative visting me the same day I had found the right place for my new IKEA table told me she preferred the original design by Eileen Gray and not this beyond bad copy.

Eileen Gray
That is how I was introduced to the design universe of Eileen Gray who was born in 1878 Ireland and died 31st of October in Paris 1976.
Eileen Gray was an architect, interior designer and artist active within the International Style dominating the 1950´s to 1970´s.
The glass and metal adjustable table E 1027 was created for being able to eat breakfast, or any meal for that matter, in bed.
Feminist Theory History of Architecture from 2007 Architect Artist and Scientist Katarina Bonnevier analyses Villa E 1027 from a feministic and queer perspective.

Growing up listening to and
loving Lill Lindfors.
Especially her brilliant album
Du är den Ende from 1967.
I was born 1967 so I guess
I learned to to love the song
Fri som en vind, meaning Free as a wind in Swedish, some time in the 70s.
When I was in my 20s working with
music theatre I understood
the influence of the Brazilian
music and learned to love Bossa Nova.
When I heard the song Fri som en vind,
Free as a wind, in Portuguese called
Canto de Ossanha it all made sense
Had until then never checked who had written the song Fri som en vind with swedish text by Torbjörn Lindroth. The original song called Canto de Ossanha is written by Vinicius da Moraes and Baden Powell and recorded in many versions globally since it was written in the 1960s.
The 19th of October 2020 Sanny Alves,
Marlon Mouzer and I recorded a bilingual duet of Canto de Ossanha in Swedish and Portuguese.
recored by Anderson Carvalho in Amsterdam, Holland.
The owner of Jazz Village Penedo where we recored the song
met Lill Lindfors in the 70s when she was visiting
Rio de Janeiro. The owner of Jazz Village Penedo
is a Swedish family the moved to Brazil
in the 50s and hosted Lill
as she visited Brazil in the 70s.

It's a small world.
Don't you think?
I have emailed Lill Lindfors and will send another mail with our video of Canto de Ossanha Fri som en vind.
Lill Lindfors has not answered but I am happy she knows how much she has inspired me and my work and so many with me. I hope she will tour and continue here artistry
In a time when travelling is considered dangerous to your health the man going to work in the fishing harbor in Angra dos Reis is wearing a mask biking. The interpretation of prevention and
the use of a face mask in the world is different from culture to to culture that's for sure.
