status: available now

The name of the collection derives from a joyful moment of non-sense: how to define a maximum of summer nakedness in order to feel cool on hot days.

The collection is mainly composed of light linen, cotton and silk fabrics in mat colours that should protect from intense sun except of a bright geranium red that occurs incidentally.

BLESS keypieces of this season are the Bustallrounder, the Heaven&Hell bag, Metalfringeglasses, Kniff, Puffsandals, the "Drieks" vest and the classic N°16 Eram Shoes in a high and striped version, as well as the Lakebedsheets, a new pair of bedsheets with a joyful summer lake scene printed on it.

Also we are very happy to be able to re-edit Bless classics that people constantly keep asking for. Amongst these you find:

N°12 Bedsheets Couple, formerly available only in a kingbed size, now in large size and different european standard pillow sizes.

N°12 Materialmixnecklaces, formerly only in fake gold and silver version, now in a 8-24 carat gold and whitegold re-edition of unique pieces.

N°07 Chairwear B, formerly created in a cotton jersey and now re-edited in a  leather version.

N°35 Automatica, Remotecontrolled Cars and the Carcover in cotton or leather, a couture dress custom made carcover, are now available as purchaseable products.

New design products are the Levelboxes that are a readaption of a classic giftbox in different shapes of staircases. They are available in birch- and oakwood aswell as in plexiglass. Some of the boxes provide certain gadgets like integrated speakers, light, mirrors or other abilities that allow them to be multifunctional. The Levelboxes were first designed and shown for the temporary Bless Shop in NY in June 2008.

The presentation of BLESS N°36 Nothingneath was held in a typical ancient parisian Hôtel Particulier in the Marais, where models and levelboxes were installed as a "tableau vivant" on a narrow staircase. Spectators passing by melted with the installation to a dense crowd. They found themselves in an intense, irritating and unusually close contact with the models, which enabled to see all details and even get in touch with them.
