And the cherry on top of the cake is that some of the interviews are now in english, if you like, you can discover a little bit more about the home owners. Not every interview is fantastic but some are quite interesting. Have i mentioned i’m addicted to this webplace?

Lately i’ve been inspired by soft and pastel colours, these photos of Karin illustrate them perfectly.
I literally want to eat these colours.

When it comes to my place, i’m not a fan of using gold in decorating, but in this case it works really well, don’t you think? It’s a tricky thing using gold without it looking too kitch or too dated. The trick is to mix it with other modern elements or using it in a unexpected way, like the group of frames closely together, in the image above.
What do you thing about using gold in your home? Do you like it?

No que diz respeito à minha casa, não sou fã de usar dourados na decoração, mas neste caso, funciona muito bem, não acham? Não é muito fácil usar dourados, sem que fique muito kitch ou demasiado datado. O truque é misturar com outros elementos modernos ou usá-lo de uma forma inesperada, como no grupo de molduras juntas, na imagem acima.
Costumam usar dourados em casa?

My mental note today is : Stretch.
Stretch body and time. Wouldn’t it be nice, to actually stretch time.
Forget for a minute the to-do list and just be. Breath in & out.
Ok, ready, set, go.

A minha nota mental de hoje é: Esticar.
Esticar corpo e o tempo. Não seria óptimo esticar realmente o tempo?
Esquecer por um minuto a lista de afazeres e apenas estar. Inspirar e expirar.
Ok, ready, set, go. ( não sei como traduzir isto, ups :P )

The sofa & cushions are perfect toguether, comfy and relaxed just like a home is supposed to be.
There’s a new great magazine in town : Elephant, The art & visual culture magazine. Wow, it’s been a while since i enjoyed a magazine this much. I devoured it from page one to page 204 ( yes, it’s a big one ).
It’s an unpretentious, non pseudo-intellectual, with interesting articles to read, not just a bunch pretty images grouped toguether, printed in fine papers. This magazine has something to say, and it says it very well.
It’s divided in 5 sections, Meetings – interviews with experienced people in the field, work analysis; Research – forecasts, movements, styles; Studio Visits; Economies & Cities.
I loved the insight & research presented throughout the whole magazine, the language style used is very refreshing, the editorial – why start a magazine? – is in itself a critic manifesto, so very inspiring.
“A Magazine is like a party in print.”
-Marc Valli
Besides the great content, the graphic/editorial design is fresh and classic at the same time, filled with typographic details.
I wish i had a negative/critical thing to say, nothing is 100% perfect, but i just can’t see one right now. Oh, wait, i rebembered one bad thing : there’s only 4 issues per year.
“A magazine is a place for dialogue, questioning, experimenting, ranting, name-dropping, arguing, a place or flattery and iconoclasm.” / ” Why do it? Why put so much effort into those few seconds of light and speed and balance and beauty? I suppose in order to try to capture the essence of an instant. Long live this moment, and the next. Long live this wave, and the next wave, and the next wave. Nothing compares to waking up, feeling you can’t wait to get back in the water.”
-Marc Valli
