Nice contrast – nature vs architecture

June 6th, 2011 by Leo

Loving the contrast of clean architectural volumes against the natural backdrops, love how the shapes of trees and clouds complement the built environment. Another nice weekend stroll in Mexico City.

sketchbook: HERO Concepts (Tropical Volcano table?)

February 6th, 2011 by Leo

A little sketch of the ideas I think we should explore a bit further =). I find steam/vapor rings and all kinds of smoke rings quite mesmerizing so this could be a fun (and even healthy) piece or furniture. Combine this with greenery and LED lights and this thing could be interesting.

L’ECAL School Projects at Galerie Kreo, Paris.

February 4th, 2011 by Leo

Hey!! It’s been a while since the last time we wrote something here =) and I believe this journal should continue! Inspiration is everywhere and yesterday I found myself quite mesmerized by the maturity of this amazing lights by the designers from L’Ecal (ECOLE CANTONALE D’ART DE LAUSANNE) at Galerie Kreo, Paris. Very elegant and properly curated. If I’m not mistaken the Bouroullec Bros. had something to do with all this. =)

Old Acapulco

April 30th, 2010 by Leo

Grupo Habita, working with designers Frida Escobedo and Jose Rojas, and antique curator Claudia Fernandez, have restored the 1950s architectural gem of Boca Chica, on a small peninsula near Caletilla beach in Acapulco.

Ever since the first time I visited I fell in love with the old Acapulco side of town, famous for being THE celebrity hangout of excellence in the 50′s, with its International style architecture, it still has a certain Mediterranean flair, a bit forgotten and neglected but always there. But some people (Habita Group) know about the potential this old beach neighborhood has and refurbished a key landmark that I believe leads the way to a slow rebirth of the vintage/savoir vivre side of Acapulco.

Acapulco is the consummate Mexican resort town, and its long history as a destination for global sun-seekers is evidenced by its practiced hospitality: this place knows how to show visitors a good time. See the rest….

Green PC by Design Hara

April 15th, 2010 by Jenny

This is one of those objects that is so beautiful I didn’t really care what it did.  Then I discovered that it was the Green PC by Design Hara, built for disassembly out of recyclable parts.  Wow.  This 4G Intel Core2Duo/Quad computer has a recyclable chassis handcrafted from your choice of Canadian rose wood or Italian cypress.  The front cover can be made of natural sheep leather.

The components are assembled by nuts and bolts so that it can be disassembled for recycling.  See Design Hara for more specs.
