Paola Antonelli's talk

Swiss Miss Creative Morning with Paola Antonelli.
I love this women. Her talks are always very interesting and she's also so charismatic. Not a surprise she has been rated as one of the top one hundred most influential people in the art world by Art Review. I'm very proud she's Italian! And such a shame that English Wikipedia is more informed about her than the Italian one. (even if I know that Wikipedia is not the best source of information ever!)

Lionel's studio

In the last post I forgot to write another thing about The King's Speech:
the therapist studio was amazing.



The King's Speech

This weekend I went to the cinema. I was undecided on the movie to watch at, but at the end I think I made the best choice ever: The Kings's Speech. Hilarious but also touching, it is the story of a stammering king (an amazing Colin Firth, see also A Single Man) and his efforts to improve attending to Lionel's (Geoffrey Rush) unusual therapy. Definitely it is worth to go and watch it, trust me!

Chocolate Frogs

Some days ago I received a yellow envelope from my American friend Meghan. I couldn't believe of what I was seeing when I opened it: Harry Potter's Chocolate Frogs with Ollivander's card inside (and he moves as well!). Amazing! Thanks Meghan!

Torte Creative

Today I want to show you the present I received last Christmas form my friend Elena. It's an amazing book about creative cakes (Torte Creative, byRomana Gardani). Here I posted the loveliest examples.

A declaration of love

A very romantic S.Valentine present. (I know. I'm late. Sorry.)
Thanks to my friend Chiara and her blog for having shown me the secret message necklace by Lenneke Kooijman. Have a look to her creations here.

Bloom

I've been recently introduced to Bloom, a magazine about plants and flowers. At the first sight you might doubt that it is something design-related but have just a brief glance at the website and you'll see beautiful pictures worthy of a art gallery. It's a pity it seems so difficult to buy (and so expensive too, 75€), I just found this store Magazine Cafe, but it's located in New York and I don't see why I should buy a French magazine in US. Maybe it's the right occasion to go to Paris... (if you have a clue of a place to buy it in Italy please let me know!)

Mutatoes

Clicking on Swiss Miss you can find almost everyday something very interesting.
Here you are the last find: Uli Westphal and his amazing project Mutato about "non-standard fruits, roots and vegetables". Get a print here!

Gardener & Marks

Gardener & Marks are interior decorators based in Melbourne. I'm showing them to you not because of their projects, even if it's worth to have a look at them, but because of their pretty website. Not a surprise it has been awarded too.

Stuff Veronica Makes

After a long work, eventually I made it! I've just set up my tiny Etsy Shop.
Only three items at the moment, but many more are coming with the vital help of my lovely mum.
Please have a look at stuff veronica makes.

Cloud

I just found my next present to myself: it's Cloud, by Duncan Shotton. It's so smart, I love it!

Abby Seymour

Have a look to these ceramics by a "Professional bookbinder and fine artist specialising in various printmaking mediums and paper crafted works". She is Abby Seymour and she's also co-founder of the Golden Ink Collaborative. So bad they don't have an on-line shop yet. I'm waiting forward for it though.
