Op Vases
Designed by Bilge Nur Saltik, Op-Vase is a pedestal for a single rose but the glass shield causes a visual illusion, a kaleidoscopic effect, to create a magnificent bouquet. Each piece is hand crafted in Istanbul. — Diseñada por Bilge Nur Saltik, Op-Vase es un pedestal para una única rosa pero la armadura de cristal que…

Tinctorial Textiles
I’ve just found this project commissioned by interior designers Van Eijk & Van der Lubbe for the renewed spaces of the ABN Amro bank office in Eindhoven. To me is a wonderful color exercise and, as you can see, a superb color palette to be inspired by. This is the rationale behind Tinctorial Textiles, as…

Studio Joo by Elaine Tian
As you probably know, I admire people who are able to design with their own hands useful and beautiful objects. I also feel enchanted by the ones that are able to apply the shadows of every color with sensibility and wisdom. And that’s why, when I’ve discovered the work of the Brooklyn ceramicist Elaine Tian,…

Inspiration Boards
Watching this video at The New York Times about L.A. designer Kelly Wearstler, it’s nice to see that she uses inspiration boards as a daily tool in her projects. Inspiration boards haven’t got a particular format. They are a collection of pictures without an evident connection between them, but linked by the concept we are…

The Folding Vase
The Snug vase is not a vase. It is a carton box with geometric forms that covers a glass or a bottle filled with water. The idea behind the design is to create an object with polyhedron shapes, inspired by Minimalism, able to embelish and to make us reuse another ordinary object. It was designed…

A Cottage in Paternoster
I really like small cottages in the middle of nowhere, like this one near Paternoster, in South Africa. This beach hut was built from local stone and designed to blend into the surrounding countryside. The interior design of this and other cottages (like this beach hut in Uruguay) is always a creative exercise, because as…

Very Blue
I dare say that this has been the year of blue. Although predictions said that 2013 would be a year of emerald and burgundy, we have to surrender to the evidence that dark, deep, nocturnal and mysterious blue has been the protagonist of the last twelve months. — Me atrevo a decir que este ha…

A Beach Hut in Uruguay
Look at this little house in Cabo Polonio, Uruguay, in front of the Atlantic Ocean. The nearest road is seven kilometres afar and it hasn’t any electricity or running water. It’s a real beach hut and just by watching these pictures, we can escape from the city, the noise and the fatigue. It looks like…
