NET-A-PORTER GROUP Manhattan Office
The NET-A-PORTER GROUP (NET-A-PORTER, The Outnet and Mr Porter) recently occupied an office off of 5th Avenue in Manhattan and here is a look at it. The new office is pretty sleek and sophisticated, pretty much what you would expect coming from the online retailer triumvirate. The inspiration for the design comes from Parisian apartments in mind.

Visu Chair Family by Mika Tolvanen
About Visu: “The task was to create a personal interpretation of the ever-relevant plywood chair. I wanted my chair to have an unobtrusive and timeless nature that is familiar but never boring and without sacrificing function or ergonomics. In the end, I think every detail is exactly as it is supposed to be.”
About design: “My designs are function oriented. Products are for use, but that does not mean they can not be beautiful at the same time. I do not have a dogma or ism, but I believe good design comes from understanding materials and from a desire to improve functionality. An object can be complex in its variety of functions, but it doesn’t have to be complicated.”

The Race That Shocked the World Documentary
For the first time ever all eight finalists of the dramatic men’s 100m final at the 1988 Seoul Olympics tell their story.
The 100 metre sprint final at the 1988 Seoul Olympics was the fastest and dirtiest race in history. Six of the eight runners have since tested positive for banned substances. Ben Johnson, the winner, received a career destroying ban, whilst his rival, Carl Lewis, had failed three drug tests prior to the competition, and British runner Linford Christie, who finished second, was eventually banned for a series of drug test failures. In this program, Johnson and other runners will tell their personal stories of the race, and also put into context how and why athletes become drug cheats.

THE SPIRITUAL WORLD REACTS TO THE HIGGS BOSON DISCOVERY
VICE News –
On the morning of Wednesday, July 4, a team of scientists over at the Cern nuclear research center on the France-Switzerland border announced—via a presentation in Comic Sans—that they had probably (really probably; they’re “99.999 percent” sure) discovered the “God Particle.” It took them a while and a lot of money—close to £1billion—but they have finally done it; one day the Large Hadron Collider fired up just right, gave God one almighty handjob and out he jizzed the much sought after Higgs boson.
The Higgs is called the “God Particle” because of its elusive nature and its ability to pretty much explain why the universe is the way it is. I say “pretty much” because there are no certainties in science. The Higgs helps scientists figure out what happened during the Big Bang, way back at the beginning of time, by going some way to explaining why particles have mass and therefore also giving reason as to why gravity exists. (This is all according to the Standard Model, by the way. If you wanna bring your String theory sass to this party, leave it in the comments below, ya fucken’ string-cheese).
So, if we now understand the origins of the universe thanks to this new cosmo-spunk, where does that leave God? Is there room for a creator in Standard Model theory? Is Allah dead? Did Cern kill him? Was he shot by Cern? What does this mean for religion? Is it worried? Or does it—like most times it’s faced with any semblance of a logical argument—simply not give a shit?
We spoke to some of it to find out. Here are the gatekeepers of the spiritual world reacting to the discovery of the Higgs boson. Not a lot of it made much sense, but it was entertaining.
