London // Top 10

I have recently spent eight awesome, enriching - and freezing - months in London! It's hard to pick the very best, but I tried my best and here is my top 10 of this experience.

< order not relevant! that would make this much much harder... :) >

#1 The city's inspiring architecture, both old and new.

#2 Being the luckiest and finding a great apartment and the greatest flatmates! I loved our lithe English - Belgian - Spanish family!  ♥ 

#3 The few sunny days and the many ways in which we always made the most of them! And definitely seeing #4 The Book of Mormon Musical! I can easily say it's the best one I've ever seen, simply hilarious!

Discovering new favorite places, as #5 Brighton - super cool town on the south coast - and #6 Mahiki, my number one night club in London. They play the best music and who wouldn't want to visit those toilets!?

#7 The great number of visits that I had!! A big improvement from my last place of residence which was an ocean away...

#8 Weekend markets! We knew them all... Spietafields, Brick Lane, Notting Hill, Angel, Duke of York,... Best way to enjoy a cheap and delicious lunch! 

#9 Top Shop Hauls (preferably from the huge Oxford Circus store!) which always involved a full photo report to my mum directly from the fitting room. And last but not least... Being able to participate in the design of #10 The Silence Room and seeing it come true. My very first built project!

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!
