your house. megan lee. here's a look at what else we've got coming up in today's program. furniture sculptures created by a tough designer in the greek capital, apple. and what's in a name? we'd get the scoop on a traditional cake from southern germany. a few ice cubes in a glass might seem simple enough, but what do you do if you need a big block of ice? well, that is where an ice vendor from norway can come in handy. 17 years ago, thomas olders began harvesting clear ice from a frozen lake. well now, his ice is in hot demand all over the world. time is of the essence in this business, as we find out from thomas, who knows exactly how to break the ice for his customers. ah. busy busy busy this is thomas due to room,

you could call him an ice cold norwegian business man. he sells frozen water to build ice. hotels were to carve wintery sculptures, and he has a special relationship with ice. that doesn't leave him cold. it's melting the summer time it melt when it gets hot, it melt. if you bring it inside an as a business point of view, it's very good because if the customers is happy for what they got on want to have it again, that will have to buy over and over again because his mouth and go back to the nature us walter, blue norway has vast landscapes, clean water and harsh winters. so the raw material he needs is right at his doorstep. we are on the lake. yeah. very close to my eyes, farm, just one hour east or, or slow. and in this area, it's normally not so much snow, but it's still normally cold, so it's gives clear and good ice quality. after nature has taken its course,

he brings in the big gun. he saw the ice into even sized blocks. the ice can even bear the weight to heavy equipment using his tractor, he cuts long even tracks in the frozen lake. he must not lose any time, but the blocks of ice fries again quickly. the biggest challenge is to stay on the ice on it under dies or i will say it's important to try to have 90 degrees angles every cut because then it's easier when you use it later. we don't know if it going to be love, big ice wall of stack, a big pile ice to make a big ice filter. ice sculptures and hotels may be relatively new. but ice harvesting dates back centuries. the industrial each lead to a boom in the sector,

norway remain to top export her of ice right up to the 1960s. and companies and private households weren't the only ones buying. there were had some high quality i saw well at that time, and that slated to say market a. so we are selling to, for example, the high and cocktail bars are in london. they also both that sort of castilla royalties. they had it, and that it should be so clear that duke india read the newspaper true, a better big ice block. nowadays, the ice is transparency, is especially important. each block weighs around a ton. with the right quality a block sells for about 700 euros. and to can be shipped worldwide if necessary. the blocks are used to carve intricate patterns or massive structures made of snow and ice, like this ice hotel in sweden. here, everything is made of ice from the reception to the bar in the rooms. and even the

artworks are made of ice. one thing i may be never got used to it that is so strong . it can carry a lot. oh wait. and i said, it's all so soft. he stories some 400 to 500 tons of ice on his ice farm in order could come in any time. sometimes his expertise is also called fort, he's already supplied ice to major hollywood film productions. it's a lot of different things that i and never had a billeted to see if i hadn't been working with snow and ice. so that's the best part to it. but personally, i think i'm more happy when i am on the beach with 30 degrees, sa sunshine, burning out over my head instead o. stay in the shallows and minus 10 or minus 20 minus soda degrees. sounds like

great vacation plants. as long as he doesn't have to put them on ice to take on more exciting jobs in the cold. busy for many soccer fans around the world, german professional player boss john shrine steiger needs a little introduction as one of the top players in the game. he enjoy to an illustrious career with byron munich and played for the german national team in 3 world cups. well, try and stagger, retired from soccer at the age of 35, but he's making headlines again. thanks to a new book which takes a close look at his life, both on and off the pitch. ah, busty and shine stagger is a german soccer legend. 2 years after ending his career, he's back in the limelight, along with his wife, an advantage, and was author martinez ethan martine,

due to his written a book about fancy and shine. snagit divorced the youngster's music, brigham very fond of busty who is coming. and of course, you can't avoid developing a bit of a fatherly feeling towards some one when you're twice as age for. i'm uncle charles is locked in, shine stagger, wanted his biography to be written, and a friend recommended author martine suitor. when the 2 met up be instantly hit it off 10 minutes into the meeting. they already decided to work together long from all barons in one of her 1st meetings. busty said above, i'd rather read a 1000 game scores than a single box is full. and you didn't like that last night on the country that i was thrilled because it made you all the more interesting as a character in a novel or not marine for it from martine theater insisted on writing more than

just a biography. and so boston shine stagger, became the character of a biographical novel. one that strictly sticks to the facts. is his me. reiney girl is no less novel. no, we're kami, but i can't make things up from scratch for the novel. a visa, the story telling style is what makes it novel ask the art the his at taylor is, does romana eskoville martinez? it lives in zurich is one of the most popular and successful contemporary swiss writers. he achieved fame at mostly for thrillers. his books typically mixed fiction realism and social criticism, in which he explores the dark side of the financial world or genetic engineering. but for his new book, martin theater didn't have to come up with any of the stories. we think the house on their feet long come under the light of the smell. i think the book is very

believable to some mail for folk. tom, for those who have followed me closely, it's easier to identify which parts are 100 percent real and which as martin said, i've been slightly adapted to other or so from that perspective, i could totally see my life story in the book. so that was important. table um let me live on dog dust, little bit of horse, his wife anna yvonne of ich got to read the manuscript in advance professionally because of my thing. right? thing. i think it really touches something deep inside. and of course, it was a different reading from all this them around and them there were some things about him that they learned maybe from the book to but um yeah i my said was very emotional and i did have some theories in my id, former tennis world champion and a van of it has been together with bassetti and find stagger since 2014 martin

luther also interviewed her for his book research and discovered a previously well kept secret from oven garbage for october hall. i was curious about the engagement found talk and asked, i wanna do tell me about the marriage proposal and faith, and she answered, well hm, i've never told anyone about it before. darcy, here it turned out to be such a romantic story that i was so happy that i was allowed to write it for their boss did. so i liked the busty. so romantic professor announced even as a little boy, he watched royal weddings with such great interest. her father really like how may i say i could fall and ah, nasty and shy and stagger. is romantic, as you can see. and the wedding photos from 2016 and as to how he convinced anna yvonne having to marry him, that's revealed in the new book. one of you most people would

probably look at these items and see them either as flea market fines or even chunk that has to go. but the greek designer cost us lum. brutus might view them differently. most likely, i'm the potential them for a new chair or table. well, lambert is creates furniture collages from almost anything that he can get his hands on and the result is an eclectic mix of household items. we visited him at the studio in athens, where he lets his imagination run wild. this unusual mix of materials and shapes is what characterizes the sculptural furniture by greek designer, cost us lam, burritos. he turns whatever he finds into her more use, artworks play, try not to become specialist than some material but the changing materials all the

time and just visiting different ah, families, let's say of of materials are just to bring some new energy and try some new things experiments ah, make mistakes. the greek designer makes his elaborate creations. in his workshop in the greek capital, athens i cheer he is working on a fountain to have an idea in your head and then you try materialize it. but then the material also has its own character and he told substance. and he dancers, buck, and maybe sometimes you don't like the answer. so you have to fight, or you have to collaborate. the most challenging thing is to put them together. how do you hold together a piece of ceramic with a piece of marble? how do you hold together a piece of stainless steel with a piece of glass? lumber?

this is work is attribute to periods such as the barrack style. for example, his elemental cabinet is a reference to a masterpiece of art history. the famous buttons and cabinets in 2004. the 18th century worth was auction for record price of around $30000000.00 euros, making it the most expensive item of furniture in the world. i was just trying to create a vase contradiction between a form that represents something very expensive, like the bud mental cabinet ah, but then may needs for materials that i collect are that have no value or order. they're considered to be garbage. i'm british study designed in eindhoven in the netherlands. i graduated with honors. he prefers to work with his hands, whether soldiering, laying tiles or glass blowing. numbly,

this doesn't shy away from any technique. i think we're all able to do everything there is there is something else that stops us. ah. so oh, it is for me is not so much about the skills is more about the will to do it. for me, everything is interesting and i cannot help that. i just want to dive into everything in the same time library. this has a large selection of materials to delve into his treasures or things others throw away marcel at flea markets. all of these i collect from the street, like old plastic toys, or some roof tiles. someone was renovating their house and they just throw them away. for me, they are gold broken marbles sinks. this is one of my favorite materials to collect, and no one picks them up because they're super heavy except me. larry, this is represented by the renowned carpenters workshop gallery in paris. there is

unique furniture collages are sold for 5 figure psalms. i understand the work as a, as a live organ. the is in the sense that a, you know, there is, there is an idea. there is a seeds that then we plans into the studio, which is the ground. and then this think if we, if we love it and take care of it and we will give it our energy in our time, then it starts. it's not, it's growing. castile embry, this is a designer and also somewhat of a full suffer, who enjoys international recognition. them now for something is sweet to each. and today we're featuring a 7 layered german cake that is not only rich in taste, but also in history. so we sent out euro max reporter, felicitous 10,
