Furniture Investments

I've been obsessed with Design Furniture for a while now... And since I am back in Spain, and I have a proper space to do it (furniture design was definitely something that didn't go with any of the rooms I've had around the world...), I have been thinking that maybe it's time to invest in my first piece of furniture with those little savings of mine.

And what should I buy myself first...? No doubt: a chair! 

Here are some of my favorites, decision is not easy when there is so much cool stuff out there - and when you are not specially good with making a choice.

CH24 Wishbone Chair, by Hans Wegner. 

I love it's simplicity, its country side vibe and the different wood finished it can have (beech, oak, ash, walnut or cherry).

CH24 Wishbone Chair Limited Edition, by Hans Wegner. 

This limited edition from the previous one is just fun! They offer a series of colors to celebrate the 60th anniversary of this Danish Design Icon. Since I am a pink girl, I am definitely tempted.

Eames Plastic Armachair, by Charles & Ray Eames.

I have to consider this classic, it's a must! I actually think it's the first chair that I even put my eye on. I love everything about it, but mostly what it represents. I think having this at home will always remember how I started to care about design and did my first Saturday afternoon adventures to the Vitra store in Madrid.

Zig Zag, by Gerrit Thomas Rietveld. 

This chair is a two-in-one! I will get a chair but I will also get an sculpture. Something to think about... I love all the finishes but I think my favorites are the natural wooden ones. 

Cherner Chair, by Norman Cherner. 

I also find this one kind of sculptural, you can see by the picture below how good it looks standing in a room on it's own. 

I guess now I have some thinking to do... Maybe a lot of thinking. 

Opinions, suggestions and so on, always welcome! 

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?
