Wedding Invitations

I've already mentioned here my cousin Marta's wedding, and I even showed you a little decoration project that I did for her and her fiancé. 

I want to show you now something very important that I have had the honor to be involved in: the invitations design! 

I wanted to give them options, so I worked in different designs (some were classic and others had a modern - out of the box - approach). They were all supposed to be printed in A5, either letter or landscape orientation. We also wanted to find white envelopes with color inside (matching the chosen design), but that turn out to be a bit complicated so we ended up with a plain one, which was still fine!

Wanna guess which one they chose? And... which one would you choose? 

Contemporary TILES: Marrakech Design

So I recently found a new obsession: TILES! 

Yeah, I know it may sound a bit lame... But seriously, you won´t believe the amazing stuff that it's being done about them!

I am bringing here today one of my favorite brands (I'm not even sure if that's how you are supposed to call these companies): Marrakech Design. To be more specific, I am loving the collection made by Claesson Koivisto Rune, a multi-disciplinaty swedish practice.

The collaboration consists in the creation of three patterns of handmade cement tiles, in several colors. Each patterns has also different lay out options, creating several macro-patterns. The combination of colors and lay outs offers a huge number of possibilities.

I hope you like them!

PETIT PAPILLION [23 Ship Street, The Lanes, Brighton]

Last weekend I took a day-trip to Brighton and I absolutely loved the city! It has this cool shopping area full of little charming stores called The Lanes; and it was there where I found Petit Papillon.

Being part of a retail pair, in this store you can find some pieces of furniture, small decoration items, gifts ideas and home scents. The whole spaces has a cozy, tasty and elegant vibe, and all gets accentuated with the owner's friendliness.

I particularly liked the walls facing each other with different finished. You can not tell if what you see is real concrete, metal or just an amazing wallpaper (I found myself touching all of them during my visit).

 

To make the most of the rectangular space, everything is display perimetrically, in shelves, tables or the walls themselves. 

The scents and candles station is definitely the most adorable spot in the store, and  the rustic wooden texture behind is the perfect addition to this exquisite collection.

Petit Papillion was a great discovery during this little excursion, so keep an eye on it! A brand new website is on its way, and I am sure is going to be as good as the physical store.
