English Clubs

salone-del-mobile-2014-tom-dixon
In April this year the internationally acclaimed and self taught designer Tom Dixon will be exhibiting for the first time at I Saloni, Milan.
He was already part for a few years of the Fuori Salone, major events around town, but in 2014 he will be also at the main exhibition in Fiera di Rho.
As he said the inspiration of his latest creations was the atmosphere of the historic London’s Club, often elegant retreats where culture, work, leisure can coexist, truly a home away from home.
Tom Dixon was recently in Vancouver at Inform Interiors and to know more about him you can read an interview by Scout Magazine HERE.

From Paris to Turin

The French-Italian owner of this Parisian apartment lives and works in Turin, Italy, where she runs Verdelilla concept stores. Her passion is fashion but also decorating and it shows in her stores and of course in this eclectic and colorful home.

The above image shows the dining area and kitchen separated by a large French door but still visually connected. Note the chairs, all different, and the whimsical colorful one which is sold at Verdelilla.

Brillante choice

 

TWEETIE-Jake-Phipps-Casamania

The 2014 Milan Furniture fair, also called I Saloni, is fast approaching.

The event this year will be even more “social” than before also due to the latest creation by Jake Phipps for Casamania: a whimsical light that will bring a smile to every face.

The pendant lamp appropriately called “Tweetie” represents a cage with birds and it is a fun reference to the birds cheering homes since the Egyptian civilization, then status symbol especially in English homes and of course a reference to our social-media-world.

The light is LED and the cage is gold plated to make it a precious object, the birds are by Bosa, one of the leader companies for innovative ceramic.

Tweet, Twitter, Tweetie…Tweet Tweet…if you like it!
