Primrose Hill Home by Paul Massey

I love the area of Primrose Hill in London and I really like Paul Massey's work.  I was pleased to see that his work is totally represented in his own beautiful home. His latest project (his thirteenth home) in Primrose Hill, London, was recently featured in British magazine Living Etc. Over the past twenty five years Paul has designed and built houses in addition to his photographic work. Some examples from London, Cornwall and Sri Lanka
I love that his use of reclaimed materials and salvaged furniture pieces which creates a very unique look with a country side feel. His home is very soothing, relaxing, the palette of colours very subtle. So relaxing.

Arty private home of Zadig & Voltaire's Creative Director & Founder

I was reading my French Elle edition and came across this amazing Parisien apartment and thought straight about a collector or art curator and I was surprised it belongs to one of the coolest girls, rock and chic, Cecilia Brönström, swedish ex-model turned creative director of the stylish French brand Zadig & Voltaire.
Recently, she opened the doors to her bathroom to Vogue that published and article about her lovely and peaceful bathroom. See also pictures below.

Located in the west part of Paris, this it-girl lives there with her husband ( Thierry Gillier, Fonder of Zadig & Voltaire) and their 3 boys. Gillier ( grand son of French brand Lacoste's founder)  is very passionate about Art. He studied it at university and says that it influences almost every aspect of his work. He’s an avid collector, especially of modern pieces, and draws from the art world much of the inspiration for his own work. 

I love the floors, the painted ceiling, the Art, the uncluttered feeling, the simplicity of the furniture and the touch of colours there and there. I was expecting a more rock'n roll and monochromatic home as her fashion style, but I am pleased to see that her universe is more than that ! Fabulous arty apartment!

A MAKER'S STORY in Barcelona

On this blog, we love Makers and we love their story.♥ 

Our new project Makers of Design will come soon and we are going to start to take you some places and make you discover their talents and the beautiful items they create. 

A good place to start is vibrant and sunny Barcelona where our project has started a few months ago...  :) Do you want to know more ? Get our newsletter here! 

Did you know that Barcelona is the fourth most creative city in the world, coming below only San Francisco, London and New York ?
This is the result of the survey of a hundred top professionals carried out by the Barcelona Design Centre. 
Those participating in the survey affirmed that creativity was one of the attributes that best defined the Barcelona brand and was one of the big attractions for establishing a business in the city.
This city has been a source of inspiration for many artists who initially come for a year and are then slowly drawn into it’s beauty and find themselves establishing their life and work there. 
Like designer and entrepreneur Carolina L. Iriarte that we found on Freundenvonfreunden and who makes beautiful leather handbags in her studio/showroom located on one of the most beautiful places of Barcelona, Plaza Real. We love the way the apartment’s exposed wood beams contrast with the vivid geometry of the yellow and black floor tiles!

Locations flat in Barcelona

Barcelona offers a great location for shooting commercials and movies annd many companies like Bcn Locations offer great locations for photo shooting from classic and eclectic flats to industrial lofts or antiques shops.
This gorgeous flat is located in the area of Gracia. The space is the perfect mix of minimal and vintage pieces with black and white touches that add a contemporary twist. I particularly like the the black window frame painted around the dining area. Take a visit on their website for more pictures.
