CURRENTLY IN LOVE No. 99

¿WAT?

 

We are just one C.I.L. away from the big 100… I just figured that out, while typing the post title. Before I start freaking out, let’s see what I’ve collected in the last couple of days… 

 

Stunningly beautiful ceramic tiles from Mutina.

 

 
 

Guys! Seriously! This is the best instagram food I’ve stumbled upon. EVER. It’s a profile of a pastry chef Antonio Bachour. I did him injustice here, because there is no way for me to translate the beauty of his sweet masterpieces in a mere 4 pics, so just click here, and trust me… 

 

Now that I’m mentioning quality food –
El Buli published their book “containing the last seven years of El Bulli through its recipes and evolutionary analysis”.

 

  

Confessions of a Guilty Designer: 15 Bold Admissions

 

I loved this little video by “bearded electronic wizard Todd Terje and two very talented illustrators Espen Friberg and Bendik Kaltenborn”. Actually, now that you’re here, you can just read this interview with all of them (after you finish this c.i.l., not before! Bare with me here.) on It’s Nice That.

 

Menta, designing studio from Mexico did a first-rate branding and packaging for a Savon Stories and their organic soaps.

 

I love the whole lookbook for “A Cactus Dream”, spring collection by Mara Hoffman

 

BTW- did you know that there is a cactus rooftop garden, at the Getty Center, on top of one of their buildings???
I kid you not…

 

This is such a beautiful piece of a classic architecture… “House Butanta” is actually two twin houses designed by the architect Paulo Mendes da Rocha for himself and his sister. Both were designed and executed between 1964 and 1966.

 

I really, really want a piece of Jacqueline Klassen’s ceramics.

 

Oh how much I adore this photo by Paul Rousteau.  I’m in love with these hues.. This pic gives me life.
You can see more of his beautiful work here.

 

Apparently, there’s a restaurant in London with “Press for Champagne Buttons” at Every Table…
I would love to go there on a lazy Tuesday.

 

Duo from Rodarte designed an amazing carpet collection for The Rug Company. I love these two, marbled, earthly toned ones. Btw, other designers contributed too, and I have to admit, I am super impressed.

 

I think I have a crush on Paul Newman. He is seriously suave, and I’ve been watching a lot of him lately,
so gimme a break...

 

3D printed nail animation. Need I say more?
