This collection by the brazilian architect Mauricio Arruda is so perfect ! I had a similar idea to reuse a piece of furniture of mine. This one looks great, i love the colours used, makes one feel inside the market. Not only looks good but it is also a new way to use this containers, giving it a new life.

No Sábado passado foi a 1ª Feira Franca no Palácio das Artes, um dia cinzento de tempestade, que se tornou luminoso no interior do Palácio, com tantas participações de encher o olho…! Nós estivemos por lá com algumas peças 2.2, sobretudo ilustração e mobiliário.

Last Saturday was the first ‘Feiras Francas’ at ‘Palácio das Artes’, a grey stormy day that soon became brightened in the Palace’s interiour, with so many eye candy everywhere. We were also there with some of our work, mostly illustration and furniture.

More unpretencious interiour photos! I really like this Paul Barbera’s fotos of creative studios all around the world, they feel so natural,  you can almost smell it.
It fits well with Apartamento Magazine ( as you may have noticed, one of my favourites ) and the Selby.
