I’m my mother’s daughter, by that I mean that I’m always cold. I would be much happier in a climate always over 90’s and limited air-condition use. That’s why I’m so happy to see the combination of leather, sweaters, trench coats and tights for fall street-fashion. Fashion is way more interesting when it’s also non-torturing. However we can deny the Fall Fashion trend of Leather Shorts showing up everywhere lately… Enjoy!
I’m a big fan of displaying collections above a tall sideboard or cabinet. Besides helping the room look taller it’s also a great space saver. I collect pottery, more vases than anything else, and I can’t think of any other space where to display them. Enjoy!
It’s very interesting how some iconic pieces came to realization out of a simple act. The iconic Pedro Friedeberg’s hand chair is one of those cases. The modern chair was created in Mexico City by local carpenters when Friedeberg’s mentor asked Pedro to give the local carpenters some work. Friedeberg asked them to make a hand big enough so he can sit on. It sounds funny, that’s what Pedro Friedeberg thought, however, the emblematic hand is now a very coveted modern piece of art. Pedro Friedeberg’s style was obviously inspired by surrealism and his designs are loved by many stylish people. I better come up with an idea of a handy necklace.
Since then the chair has been made in many different finishes and sizes and its versatile aesthetic allows for it to be used in either traditional spaces, creating a dramatic and contrasting ambiance, and as well as in modern interiors.
A few days ago I saw a magazine spread of an all white apartment. I mean all white, literally. Not a wood color, any type of metal or any other neutral accent were in this house. It looked as if a big giant poured out white glue on every surface of this apartment. And I was thinking, uhm… no thanks! It was very sad and nerve wracking because all I was able to think of was about mental institutions. Yeah! it was a house that made me feel sick! We are all different and different things make us happy, lucky me I have my own home, which I work hard on to make me and those who come in happy. After all home is where your heart is and wouldn’t you want to have a colorful and happy heart? Enjoy!
