Powerful White Interiors

 Restaurant OLIVOMARE London - designed by Pierluigi Piu

Munich sports footwear store in Valencia, Spain - designed by Dear Design

White is very powerful colour! Although, technically white isn’t a color but it is one of the most common colours used in interior design anyway. Some may find white boring but I think it is such a versatile and flexible colour. White being the only colour in the space can be conjoined with other colours of furniture, objects, artwork and people.

20th Century Lithuanian Film Posters: more than just aesthetic representation

A selection of images from Declassified, an exhibition that showcased the finest of Lithuanian film and displayed cinema posters never before seen in the UK. This celebration of Lithuania's cultural heritage encompasses film, art and live performance, exhibited in east London art cinema Rich Mix in April. The exhibition included a collection of 69 original Lithuanian film posters covering four decades of the 20th century from the personal archives of photographer Marta Ovod. More than just aesthetic representations of Lithuanian cinema, they are tools for cracking open the story of Soviet and independent Lithuania, providing insight into the ideological and socio-political shifts that occurred during this period.

Present from Unto This Last

Unto This Last - The pleasure of making things differently..

Unto This Last is the title of a book written in 1860 by John Ruskin. He advocated a return to the local craftsman workshops, having a few doubts about the human cost of the Industrial Revolution. Thanks to today's technology, Unto This Last makes distributed manufacturing happen - with a competitive edge. They work with Birch Plywood, laminated on-site in order to monitor quality and offer more choice of finishes.
