No more boring hotels....
Hotels are back to become a luxury...I feel that the more I travel, the more options are out there in terms of accommodations. Airbnb and home rentals changed the game and designer are trying to find ways to make themselves different, welcoming and give luxury a different meaning.
A interesting and exciting new take at the W hotel in New Orleans by Nema Workshop. Exciting contrasts, colors and spaces. Cant wait to visit it!
Diptyque London Store
New work by Chris Brenner: respecting history and culture, the result is
a mix of materials from brass to Gothic wallpaper and a fusion of
color.

Palace Wallpaper?
Rei
Kawakubo.
This is an old project (circa 2006 for Comme des Garcons).
Photos of grand palaces were
blown up to life size images and papered onto the walls. The rooms are
linked by irregular shaped openings through which one can see other
images. Waaaahhhh!  |

The Fairmount Hotel , San Francisco
Loving this design by Alexandra Champalimaud for the 8th floor of The Fairmont Hotel San Francisco.
The 1920's inspired atmosphere is just luxurious in detail.

Clift Hotel, San Francisco
Was recently at the Clift Hotel designed by Phillipe Starck in San Francisco.
I was fascinated by the glass details and wood panels. It reminded me of my grandparents crystal glasses. Chic!
Alameda Antique Fair
Under the scorching sun of 32 degrees Celsius I finally made it to the "famous" Alameda Antique Fair. Well known in the Bay Area and between designers, I decided to finally check it out. Although, not at 6 am.

TurrinBy
A collection designed by Erwan Peron that incorporates a variety of
different materials and geometrical shapes. Simple and clean.
The Candy Room
Candy Store in Melbourne, Australia.
Designed by: Red Design
To go along with my retail obsession and the surreal....
I love
the design shops that as you walk outside through the windows you
already get the element of surprise. It doesn't matter what they are
selling at first you just HAVE to get inside and check it out. Packaging
is key. Interior Design is like packaging for the product but in a
larger sense. Make a good packaging, you can pretty much sell anything.
Simple and creative. Like.

The designers Kwang-Hyun Han and Young-Sub Yun of m4 design opted to leave the décor mostly monochromatic white, allowing the colourful products to stand out. ‘It makes the space more cheerful,’ they say.
Data.anatomy (civic) Instalation
RYOJI IKEDA
Berlin
WOOOOWWWWWW!
Berlin
WOOOOWWWWWW!
Inspired by data used in making the Honda Civic car, Japanese artist Ryoji Ikeda has realized his latest audio-visual installation.
Three massive screens fill a Berlin gallery, playing footage that reveals the inner complexities of data used in building Civic cars. Their operating systems are comprised of thousands of tiny technical parts, which when displayed together in this setting have an ephemeral, transfixing effect.
Alberto Seveso
Series of underwater ink photographs by taking high-speed pictures if two colors of ink mixing with water.
I want this in my living room wall.
Metal Mesch Art
Ridiculously beautiful.
Korean sculptor Seung Mo Park creates giant ephemeral portraits by cutting layer after layer of wire mesh. Each work begins with a photograph which is superimposed over layers of wire with a projector, then using a subtractive technique Park slowly snips away areas of mesh. Each piece is several inches thick as each plane that forms the final image is spaced a few finger widths apart, giving the portraits a certain depth and dimensionality that’s hard to convey in a photograph.

Paulo Mendes da Rocha
Everyone is talking Brazil. Brasil.
I remember riding my bike on the weekends to visit my friend Camila and would always pass bye one of my favorite buildings in our neighborhood: MUBE (Museu Brasileiro da Escultura).
Maybe it is my dire obsession with concrete buildings and geometrical forms. simplicity.
