Minuscule Chair by Cecilie Manz
Yeah, we love Fritz Hansen. Here, the Minuscule chair, by Cecilie Manz. A fresh one, pulled out from the Milan fair. It's a straight shot on good taste, and it's elegant enough so it doesn't clog your space. Also, beautiful upholstery colours for everyone.

Free Mind of Shantell Martin
Don't have the dough for wallpaper? Do you fancy drawing and wish for better walls? Do-it-yourself... With a sharpie! Even if you can't do it, c'mon! You must know someone with a knack for drawing! Seriously, there's a lot of talented people out there. No excuse here!
This is the room of Shantell Martin, a Broklyn-based artist. So, she's got a flair for this, but she wasn't sure about the whole idea until she tried it. So go ahead! You can always paint the walls again. All this below the price of wallpaper. Curious about the results? More after the jump!

Light by Jean-Marc Palisse
It must be really inspiring to work in these environments, when the models are pure beauty. And in this case, Mr. Palisse negates any secondary light sources to give emphasis on THE light source available. Which is a clever choice, as you can see, because you get contrast to define your space volumes and colour sharpness.
This makes it a good matter of interior design. One must get full awareness of the light sources available, be them natural or artificial. And by the act of simple observation, choose the best decor placement. Don't let a powerful colour fade out, steeped in shadow, for example. Get more after the jump.

The New Norm
The purpose was pure show-off: the new dinnerware of New Norm. On the way they picked one of the best photographers, plus one of the most talented stylists around, and a really tasty restaurant — the Höst. The results: incredibly inspiring earthy tones.

The Rad Art of Alex Menocal
![]() |
| Photo by Marc Gerke. |
Simplicity in art f* rules, and when the execution is clear as water, it rules too. Renoir once said "The purpose of painting is to decorate the walls". Simple. Sounds good enough to us, so we want this to spread. Decorate your walls!
You might want to consider Alex Menocal to do the job. He creates this powerful and triangulated art, with paint, tape, watercolour, whatever he can reach for. We got excited by the potential of this, in interior design, as he shows it in some of the indoors pictures. It works great! Colour easily comes to you and it adds a little bit of radness in life, with some deliciously destabilizing diagonals. See for yourself what's this all about, after the jump.

Sexy in the Mountain
Time for some cabin porn, with extra-fur! Sheepskins, a little something to cozy things up, and you can notice that it goes well with wood tones too. It's all typically brown and the glass textures are there to make it all a bit more sexy, lighter, with elegant transparencies: lamps, coffee table, chandeliers... This pratically sums up the perfect mix for a romantic night stay in the mountains. Sounds good? Click it!

NEW by Campana
It's not exactly new, but you might need to see this again. We just handpicked what we think it's the best from this hotel in Athens. After all, it's Campana... Everything you love about them is everywhere, plus, there's faceted furniture. It's all for your futuristic soul pleasure! Colours are top notch, and gold fits in beautifully, adding the class. Check the beautiful scenery with reclaimed wood, after the jump!

The Comfy Headquarters
We love the practice of Ábaton, a madrilenian studio. Perfectly humble housings, delivers more of the content than the "structure", and we more than agree! This is their showroom designed to represent their vision, and it's also their office, down in the basement. But it's the social spaces that surprised us! The white is there, decor is sculptural, and beautiful points of colour that enlivens the spaces. Check it out!

Woodgazing Between the Bricks
Wood for thought! Never get enough of wood AND don't forget to plant trees. It is just charming to see the warmth of it all, indoors. The texture, the veins, the grain, and the colour... Goes well with brick too!
This is the house of Rebekah's 4-piece-family, in Adelaide, and out of curiosity she's co-founder of the Bowerbird Bazaar. Have a look at one of the best decors we've seen in awhile. Learn the importance of getting the best stuffing, and how much it matter to enlighten and to give soul to your spaces. I particularly love the two Jacob Logos paintings. A nice expressionist touch!

Industrial Classicism — B&B Italia
I think we've never seen such this good presentation, by the fellow citizens at B&B Italia. The right pieces in the right place. Elegant, sexy, and it obviously manages to have an italian flavor, a well round modernism. Maybe it's because it looks like an old sculpture barrack... It's indeed a nice workshop with the right ingredients. You can have pretty great indoors with raw walls and high-quality furniture. More below!
