Nanimarquina and the Beauty of Origins









I totally got into this video by Spanish carpet manufacturer Nanimarquina and a highly recomend it. It describes with beautiful images the production and the artisanry of skilled rugs workers in India working in collaboration Nanimarquina designers.

Those carpets are precious pieces, made with care and love.
After seeing where it all comes from and who are the people working on them, I think products are given a more important value and apreciation.
I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I did.

208 Duecento Otto, Hong Kong







I dreamed of such an interior for a long time...dark, classy wood panelling and lovely tiles printed with blue and white Chinese illustrations.
The contrast is of very powerful impact, designed by Seyhan Özdemir and Sefer Çağlar of young Istanbul-based design firm Autoban.

from Crinoline to Crinoline







The first Crinoline was stiff fabric made of horse-hair and cotton or linen thread. The fabric first appeared around 1830 and in the 1850s they started to make rigid skirt-shaped structures of it.
Now, designer Patricia Urquiola made beautiful furniture pieces inspired by this shapes.
