For its forcole magazine bin, suspended staircases, rolling bookshelves, colored glass fill, movable library ladder, spinning kitchen rack, sleeping nook, reflective ceiling, trapezoidal entries, and extraordinary lamps, I’m in love with Studio Pastor.
The conference room lamp contains two light sources. One, a bulb fixed above the table, is connected to a mobile of colored glass pieces from the local glass factory. The other light bulb dangles between a wire and a spiral cord. The straight wire hangs above our heads, pivots at a hook high on the wall, and runs down to a cylindrical handle with three options of height. (When Ross discovered the contraption, The Professor replied, “Bravo!”).
These inventions tell of the story of a man and his ideas, his fascinations. With joyous surprise we swung his desk lamp, walked on the colored steps, and ate little sandwiches. My love for this place is completely dependent on these details. As individual manifestations of whimsical ideas, they come together to create a place that celebrates the joy of design and of making.
