Writing a new chapter...

Or maybe a new story...
This is the first post of the year... and it carries big news...important changes to happen in my life.
In order to celebrate it in grand style, I'd like to share one of  mny "I wish I had one" pieces...

The new Montblanc icy white writing pen collection. An iconic interpretation of the traditional MontBlanc.

O arquiteto

Aqueles sonhos distantes...queria ter conhecido esse senhorzinho, mago das linhas e formas...
(O texto nao poderia ter vindo mais a calhar...)

"Nao e o angulo reto que me atrai, nem a linha reta, dura, inflexivel criada pelo homem. O que me atrai e a curva livre e sensual. A curva que encontro nas montanhas do meu pais, no curso sinuoso dos seus rios, nas nuvens do ceu, no corpo da mulher amada. De curvas e feito todo o universo, o universo curvo de Einstein"
Oscar Niemeyer

"Passive amplifier for iphone made of ceramic. The form is designed to amplify and optimize the best sound output. The amplifier is based on a thin wooden frame that allows the object to float off the table. This has been made in order to increase the vibration of the object and to optimize the emission of sound. Designed for the iPhone, is perfect for listening to music without headphones as well as for audio conference to hear the person on the phone as live voice."

Punk Divas!!!

Loved these images!!!

Sooo cool!!!

Artsy...I want it!!!

I saw this years ago when in Mexico, but at that time I had something against skulls...that time has gone now and I'm dying to get one of this!!!

I'm trying to figure out what I love the most about them: if it's the profusion of colors, the attention to details or the daringness to make something supposed to be dark and signal of death such a lively and vibrating piece of art!
Please, anyone going to Mexico, could you get me one of these!!!????

From Artstation

A bit of background (from Artstation) :

"The Huichol Indians of Mexico live a secluded life in harmony with nature in the remote Sierra Madre Mountains. This people is one of the few still existing indigenous tribes in Mexico. Their artworks are an expression of their culture, which is rich in original and unique ceremonies. They are said to be of great artistic power (I can see that, totally!!!), and all their artworks serves a religious purpose. The "skulls" are a stroke of artistic genius, colorful and unmatched. Each item is unique and an expression of their mental dedication. The skulls, which are richly encrusted with glass beads, show the vitality of these people and strengthen their love for religious traditions. Their dedication is infectious and even persuades outsiders."

Time for Eames...actually, timeless

It's screening in just a couple of theaters in London- Notting Hill will be the one for me.
A documentary about the Eames couple and how the became icons of contemporary design.

By doing some quick & dirt research, I also found this video on the Eames Foundation website.
Enjoy it!




My version of Eames, love i!

I absolutely love the way the wood is transformed into statement design decor!!!
It's an exhalation of luxury, low profile uber-chic beauty!

Japanese rock

After some fireworks at the park on Saturday "freezing" night, followed by a night picnic with hot wine and some dips...no voice on Sunday morning! The plan? Something indoors, and more precisely, that wouldn't required lots of "talking"... something more "observational" let's say.
So, we head to an exposition at the Barbican: Future Beauty, 30 years of Japanese Fashion.
One word only: IM-PRESSIVE!!!

The way Japanese designers use and THINK about the materials, the garment engineering, the simplicity that makes even the "ugly" something beautiful, or at least veeeery interesting.

A PAINT?!

NO...A DRESS!

THIS BECOMES....

THIS! INCREDIBLE, ISN'T IT?!

THIS ONE IS BRILLIANT! BASICALLY THOUSANDS OF SKULLS  THAT LOOK LIKE PETALS!

 And I have to say I always liked, but now I'm totally, utterly in love with Comme des Garçons.
