morning computer portals

Eli McMullen.

New York-based Studio Bucky has designed a furniture collection informed by Ireland’s ancient megalithic tombs from reclaimed maple wood.

Named the Portals Collection, the pieces draw on Irish portal tombs. A type of megalithic tomb, these often consist of large upright rocks, known as portal stones, supporting a large capstone.

The article I found the watch below in sadly does not make it clear which specific make of the Jaeger-LeCoultre it is, but it’s a good portal too.

…the motif of the magic circle serves as a boundary between the natural and supernatural, and the possible mediations between them that are made possible by the circle itself. Hence the magic circle is not only a boundary, but also a passage, a gateway, a portal.
