Apartment with style

This apartment is my cup of tea! It's raw, graphic and elegant at the same time.  Love the bedroom wall where you can write you're great ideas you get at night or a romantic poem for your love.

Wasteland: an inspiring documentary

A friend recommended to see this documentary and I'm glad we did. I watched it a few weeks ago and I still think of it often. It's so beautiful to see how art can change peoples life, and in this movie literally. It's a very moving documentary about the people who work in the world's largest garbage dump, Jardim Gramacho, located on the outskirts of Rio de Janeiro. Together with artist Vic Muniz they recreate photographic images of themselves out of garbage (around 50m2 on the floor), that reveals both the dignity and despair of the catadores as they begin to re-imagine their lives.

View down onto Irma’s portrait on the floor, here you can see the scale very well.

Steel cabinets by JSPR

I'm really into steel cabinets lately. I love that you can make composition of your favorite things within a frame. This modern handmade interpretation by JSPR is just amazing! How the forms are attached to another it becomes a cabinet skyscraper…
Definitely a piece on my wish list.
