Here doggy...

Uaaauuu, a giant leap in my posting, I know! What can I do, if the planet spins around like a swirl and one day is summer, next day is already freezing cold and dark at five (to mention that, I really am thinking of having half year residence in North and other half in South half of the earth-of course somewhere exotic-daaah). Ok, so what has been done in this couple of months? I would say 360 degrees change in my life, all pieces now are comming together and voila, look at me, again behind my beautiful black riding hood (aka. computer) and writing a post. Why? Well... Someone that I really love and adore, gave me a great idea, that this year I need to start thinking of the Christmas wish list. I kind of forget during the growing up years, that "the list" actually exist. And when I started writing it, well.... It felt like releasing the dragon, hehehe... I think I could have this endless wishlist, because every day I could get new idea of what I would like to get for Christmas. But not to be mistaken, not everything involves spending and splashing enormous amount of money. I still believe that best things in life are for free, but worth fighting for. Ok, not to get all crazy and goofy, and to get to the point to this post (I know, I can easily write you a novel without any sense, hehe), everyone that knows me, know that I have crazy taste for dogs (amongst other things, I admit) and what I would really love, is a little crazy doggy with a name of Egon or King the 1st (or something mythological) with French scent :) I know, this is still far from really getting, but it is always good to start planning to expand the crazy family :):) So today, after soo many months, how best to celebrate as with this post :)
Photos by Andre Brito - really fantastic photos, I would say. Oh, and p.s.: I really love this doggy, but for the record, I really really really would like to have a black devil, hehe :) Well, ok, also white devil would be nice too :):):)

I´m hilarious

It happens all the time ;)

Coffee design

Although I'm more tea person, it can't never compare with coffee. Just the smell, look and gorgeous taste is an experience you never forget. To enjoy just few minutes of pleasure in the morning, so this golden liquid can fill your mouth with excellent taste, is all you can wish for in the morning. Not to mention to actually wake you up:) but never the less... With all this morning ritual...the (best) design is always there to complete this experience and to put it to the higher level. So all coffee junkies- this post is for you! Enjoy!

Centro das Artes-Casa das Mudas

 When seeing something so perfect like a magnificent architecture in person, it is like a dream come true. And as for this year I've been really blessed and lucky to start visiting really extraordinary buildings, well, this one goes into that bracket. By coincidence, when exploring Madeira island, we found this building, a sacred place for art, Casa das Mudas by Paulo David. Situated on the hill above Calheta, it brings magnificent views and breathtaking presence.
Details of the stone facade just tells the story of perfect mind and crafstmanship. As I only experienced the outside of this architecture, seeing inside and plans, just confirms the perfection of this mastermind. So, for next time, visiting also interior will only complete my journey to the (well) known wonderworld of architecture.
Hope you'll enjoy and appretiate this beauty as I did.

Lets make peace...

What can be better metaphor than building a peace bridge, only thing that connects two different sides. And of course who else could build that extraordinary bridge than Santiago Calatrava. Impressive construction, magnificent colours and the bridge who you must visit!

Let there be light!

 I´ve always been a fan of Tadao Ando, master mind of creating shadow and light-a playful intimate play in the house of architecture. So subtle, so perfect, like it was naturaly integrated in the created space. Although it looks like simple thing, is actually geniously put together all elements, so that the corespondence of this shadow and light role fits perfectly. But put this aside for a moment, to create this magic, what you need is an object of this desire, the light and shadow producer... So many designs, materials, colours and different ideas, that I could post every day for the rest of my life, just showing the most interesting, outstanding lights. But just for teaser... let there be light! Enjoy!

TGIF

All though I don't want to be one of those people, who eagerly just wait for the week to come to an end, this week is a little bit different.. And it is in fact first Friday in beautiful May.. So, let it be this once in a while :)
End of the working week, listening to powerful music in the underground, just finished reading one of damn good aspiring book from the master king of advertising, George Lois and now heading towards 3-day weekend. What can be better? Just a wishful thinking of getting on a bicycle and exploring the beautiful city in the sun. Ah, heaven...
