So chic!

Here is another project from In House Design






Italian Design








Paola Lenti is an Italian design company specialized in contemporary furniture and flooring. The company is renowned for its research and experimentation using natural and technological materials to create durable textiles. I love their products. They are so chic, unique and in my opinion it is spot on for minimalist spaces.

Yanko Design

Yanko Design is an excellent web magazine dedicated to industrial and interior design, technology, architecture, fashion and so on.
I found a lot of interesting projects on that website. One of them is the Karma Chair created by Jeffrey Wollenzien. The other one is the Dharma Lounge created by Palette Industries. Both are innovating ideas that probably won’t go unnoticed.
This online magazine is a great source to keep you in the know.

Keep Calm




A few days ago I was zapping around some of my favorite websites and found out a poster that I fell in love when I first saw it on a friends house. Ok, the poster has nothing about new, in fact its history comes from 1939. The “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster has such an interesting history about how it was created. At that time, during the Second World War, the British Government’s Ministry of Information were responsible for creating posters that were intended to offer the public security in the dark days of the attacks and invasion that they would suffer. The “Keep Calm and Carry On” poster was never officially published, but nowadays they became a trend. You can spot those posters everywhere from Shabby Chic store to Etsy.
Last week my friend came with a special gift for me, and guess what? I now own a Keep Calm poster! It’s definitely a special gift since she is moving out of the country and it will be a good way to remember her.

Jenna Lyons baby's room




The home of J. Crew creative director Jenna Lyons is showed at the November edition of Domino Magazine. I’d like to talk about her baby’s room because it’s a good example for people that don’t really like traditional pink and blue baby style and want to do something more grown up.
To be honest, I love the result of the yellow stripes on the ceiling and the contrast with the dark wall. The crib, dresser and accessories choice were perfect to give an interesting and elegant mood to this bedroom. You can find more pictures of her place at this month’s Domino Magazine.

Organic shapes









Recently I received by email a very unexpected and surprising architecture project created by Ivo Mareines and Rafael Patalano, both Brazilians architects. The house is in Mombaça beach, Angra dos Reis – Rio de Janeiro, which in my opinion, is one of the most beautiful beaches in Brazil.
It’s a contextual project that wouldn’t work in a lot of places for sure. They were spot on taking the risk to build such a different architecture in a beach place. The view and the material choice are impressive.
Another project that I related right away was the Antibodi Chair from Moroso created by Patricia Urquiola. The fabric is sewn in triangular shapes creating organic patterns.
The materials (wool, leather and felt) create petals shapes that can be facing upwards or downwards giving a different look to the chair.
