melted chair by Tom Price


Tom Price is a British designer and artist. He studied both Fine Arts, Sculpture and furniture design and as it looks, he combines both in his work. This whimsical chair took me by surprise and even more when I read that it is created by heating and pressing a seat-shaped former into a woven ball of approximately 10,000 black nylon cable ties.

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.

weekendology s1ep14


It was a summery weekend and as I had to go to the city center on Saturday morning I also I took some pictures. The first one is the Omonia square with some people lying to take some sun (in real life there is a much more obvious decadence!)

DIY inspiration

 
Yesterday we finally had the long awaited date with IKEA. It wasn’t everything I expected as my (love at first sight) PS VAGO chair we were waiting to find not only was out of stock but will be back next year (sigh).

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.

Charlotte York's Park Avenue apartment


I haven’t posted over set designing in some time now, so it was about time to look into one of the most elegant, classic yet modern, set designing of a series, in my humble opinion. Charlotte York’s apartment. 
On the "Sex and the City" adored series, her apartment was located on New York’s Park Avenue and that’s where it really was in real life, too. Of course, that’s just the exterior, as the interior is unfortunately only a set. I have already mentioned the so talented set designer Cristina Tonkin here, and have found these pictures of the eclectic chic apartment in her site here.
