anthropologie fruity windows

Anthropologie did it again. I had posted about their amazing windows some time ago, here but now they posted on facebook their autumn 2011 windows and they are once again so inspiring.

Kartell design by Milan

Kartell is one of the main interpreters of industrial design in the field of Italian and international companies and one of my personal favorites. This is a preview of Kartell cult products reinterpreted and "milanesified" by personalities bound with Milan. 

Right now you can find all of them only at the Kartell Flagship store in Via Turati - in Milan. They are all classic designs that we know and love, in a new  version inspired by Milan. Enjoy.

earth moving anthropologie windows

Anthropologie, one of my favorite brands that I have talked about here, has just posted on its facebook page, its Earth Day windows and they are looking so beautiful that I couldn’t wait to post about them.

Its windows have been my favorites for a while and never cease to amaze me as they are bursting with creativity, inspiration and gorgeous hand work.

window shopping is the answer

I realized that I have not posted almost nothing regarding window designing, so I went through my book of shop windows called “escaparates del mundo” and took some of my favorite photos to show here. They are from shops around the world, they have great concepts and they validate my belief that shop windows can also be art installations.

This weekend I was in Salonica, the city that I think is the most European one of Greece. It is so beautiful and of course the fact that some of my best friends live there only makes it better. Here are some photos from the  amazing daytime and the crazy nightime in the city that has it all.

banksy yeah!!

How do I start to write about Banksy? First of all, when I was only thinking about starting a blog, I knew that if I ever had one, I wanted to feature Banksy and his work. I looked more intensely into his work when I included  in my thesis, a shop window he did for a pet shop in New York in 2008, that was brilliant, and as ironic as it gets. That’s the video I edited from material from that window. Banksy commented on that window that “If it is art and it is seen from the street I guess it can still be called street art.”

Well Banksy, is the pseudonym of a British graffiti artist, whose real life identity is not publicly known. According to author and graphic designer Tristan Manco, Banksy "was born in 1974 and raised in Bristol, England. The son of a photocopier technician, he trained as a butcher but became involved in graffiti during the great Bristol aerosol boom of the late 1980s." Banksy made a name for himself painting stenciled satirical and political images in public spaces, but always succeeding in keeping his identity hidden. Banksy is now one of the most well known street artists, and is known for his unique critical eye on the british culture, politics and the modern lifestyle.
