Top Brass

Last week I spotted a few pieces by Gabriella Crespi on 1stdibs.com, then started googling and couldn't stop. These designs are fantastic - glamorous, innovative, functional and fun!

New Forest weekend

Stay: Limewood Hotel.
Until Heckfield is built, this is going to be my favorite country hotel.

Carpet Reloaded

One booth that really stood out to me at Decorex was the one with these gorgeous rugs from Italy. Carpet Reloaded - "This exclusive limited-edition collection brings together carpets from the first and second halves of the 20th Century and reinterprets and reinvents them in new, surprising ways.Decolorized and re-dyed, unthreaded and woven anew, cut and sewn back together..." - the designs are simply beautiful:

Illustration - Olaf Hajek

During our recent trip to Vienna we stayed at a really fun Twenty Five Hours Hotel, where i fell in love with beautiful illustrations by Berlin-based Olaf Hajek.
When I looked up his website, i realized i've seen his work everywhere: Taschen Book, National Geographic, etc...
Definitely worth checking out!
