Monique Lhuillier - Spring 2011

While her former 'ready to wear' collections weren't so outspoken, her Spring 2011 is great! Feminine, romanticism with a minimal approach.  You clearly find the bridal influences, who are according to me bringing a luxury feel in this collection.

Classic Eames Chair Reinvented and Diversified by Vitra

Originally made from fiberglass in 1950 by Charles and Ray Eames, this famous chair “suffered” a series of upgrades throughout the years. This new version is fully upholstered which makes the chair both aesthetic and comfy. Moreover, the designers of Vitra came up with 13 different colors for the Eames chair and four base options. My favorite is the blue one above!

Ikea Started Selling Second Hand Furniture Online

Shoppers eager to nab discounted furniture at cut-rate prices may soon be able to bypass Marktplaats, Craigslist, etc. and head straight to the mother ship of cheap home furnishings: IKEA. A few days ago on August 28, the Swedish furniture company started selling second-hand Ikea products online in Sweden and they intend to extend this idea to other foreign outlets! I can't be happier and hope it will be soon available in Italy and Holland!

Casa Barone by Widjedal Racki Bergerhoff Architects

Widjedal Racki Bergerhoff Architects have designed the Casa Barone in Ingarö-Evlinge, Sweden. The studio, or rather a place for inspiration and creation of precious art for this Italian painter and his Swedish wife, makes an abrupt change to its traditional Swedish pitched roof neighbours. The building glitters as a golden shrine penetrated with large black windows as it sits in the rocky slope in between sculptural pine trees.
