The Powers of Ten is a
cult short-film made on 1977 by Charles and Ray Eames

Scale matters, if you have any doubt ask a quantum physics expert like this amazing man.

Is this fantastic chair designed by Samuli Naamanka the
sustainable response to Aarnio’s iconic Bubble Chair?
Perfect for slow-designed gardens!
...and Eero Aarnio’s retro-futuristic bubbles!
*Saw it on Wannekes!

Spaceship Earth

Today one of my architecture and design heroes:
Buckminster Fuller.
A total visionary, internationally known in the 50’s because of his Geodesic Dome research and development, was a brilliant and inspiring human.
He even fully documented his whole life (every 15 minutes everyday for decades!) in a diary series called Dimaxion Chronofile!
A total recommendation for further research and inspiration... have a nice day*

Mirror Sculptures
10/11/08 16:52
Years ago I wanted to make a photoshoot playing with
mirror sculptures to reach a kaleidoscopic futuristic
result for a swiss cosmetics brand
campaign we were developing at my studio. In
the end we didn’t have enough time to do it, so
I’m still thinking about doing some kind of
mirror compositions for personal use...
so I gathered some fabulous mirror sculpture inspiration from several artists to share with you...
aren’t these pieces amazing?

Notebooks and sewing cards...

I am a stationary addict, I confess. Present and Correct is
driving me crazy with their great notebook
selection...
But the sewing cards kit below is my fav at the moment!
Delicious.
PS: my most sincere congratulations to all the US citizens! :)+

Furoshiki & the shopping bag.
31/10/08 16:50
I’m delighted that I found these Furoshiki instructions
created by the Government of Japan!
A poetic and traditional way to reduce wastes using a foulard or similar to carry all kinds of things.
But if you are not too good at origami, you can always buy this fantastic Packrat bag at Lomo.
A great shopping bag indeed!

Copo and the japanese house...
23/10/08 10:14
I think this is the right moment to introduce
Copo, our beloved cat...I took this
picture in my home studio while I was trying to tidy
up...
he organized himself in a minute ;)
Well, I wrote this “cat intro” to talk about a great post I read at The Modern Cat, a fantastic japanese cat-friendly house!
I love when architecture and design humanize theirselves enough to produce hybrids like this.

My friend (and business partner) Alex spend her
holidays in Portugal this summer, and as a present
she gave me these fantastic vintage notebooks (and a
beautiful kind-of-art-nouveau-styled soap:) ...!
Aren’t they gorgeous?

Chandal: a fantastic shop!
27/07/08 13:11
Last week I bought this collector E.T ring in a shop
called Chandal.
They have beautiful vintage furniture accesories, retro cameras, vinyl records (a great selection of them -including Testla’s Aquarium by Felix Kubin and Pia Burnette!!-)...
If you are in Barcelona visit them, you won’t regret it.

Adore the combination of materials and the
neo-organicism of it all. Great lamp. I would love to
have one of these on my desktop!
