Red, Yellow, and Blue

My parents are re-doing my room now that I no longer live at home. One of their great ideas is to make my bed fold into a giant closet that will take up an entire wall of my bedroom. While looking over the blueprints for the closet design, I thought the doors looked like Mondrian's squares so I pitched the idea that they make the entire closet model after one of Mondrian's paintings. The idea went well with my dad (he has plenty of “gaudy” art deco primary colored objects), but apparently my mom is equally enthused with the idea.

This naturally reminds me of the time I visited the Ludwig Museum in Cologne last year around this time. They had a very impressive and comprehensive exhibit of the artist. I will cover more of that in detail later, but while searching for Mondrian through the web, I found the following Nike shoes. Rather interesting, no?

When my parents redid my room, no such sophisticated design: just bright, pumpkin orange.
