Oh Bambi!

Bambi Sloan... A name that definetely shows character! Bambi is held responsible for the stunning interior work at Derrière restaurant. Her off-beat interiors chez Derrière made me crave for more! So I did a bit of a search... Lo and behold! I found a truly inspiring portfolio unfold before my eyes!  Take a look at her parisian apartment which as her own space unravels the full extend of her exuberant personality! But my all-time favorite is the work she did for the Lodge in the isle of Jura. Bambi did her magic again and created an eclectic interior using vintage accessories, flea market finds and contemporary furniture to stay up-to-date in terms of decorating. This lady really knows how to mix and match. She has a way of sensing the vibes of the present and manages to stay atop of interior trends without compromising her individuality.

J'aime Jaime (Hayon)

Jaime Hayon created  this -indeed- spectacular new look for the restaurant "La Terraza del Casino" in Madrid, Spain. Just imagine having dinner there! So elegant and sophisticated beyond comparison. The place kept its original grandeur but a thin tread of modernism, appearing here and there, makes it irresistable. Jaime Hayon has worked next to Oliverio Toscani, best-known worldwide for designing controversial advertising campaigns for Italian brand Benetton, before spreading his own wings. Now he creates interiors for leading hotels and restaurants around the world. Jaime Haydon's work is part of a new movement of designers that blurred the lines between art, decoration and design and a renaissance in finely-crafted, intricate objects within the context of contemporary design culture.

Divine Luisa

Today's post is going to be devoted to a phenomenal lady, Luisa Beccaria. Not only she has dressed many celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker but she's creating amazing collections. Here's a preview of her spring- summer line of well tailored clothes. The Milanese designer, Luisa Beccaria, is a contemporary romantic whose artistic vision is drawn from an array of cultural experiences fused with vivid imagination. The result is a dreamy style at once glamorous, elegant and feminine.

Elena of design

Ok, here's the story; the other day I was visiting the loveliest shop in the town I live -that said though, I haven't had the chance to chat with the owner until this very Friday. So, apart from the nice talk we had and the goodies I brought back home from atelier LZC I found out that one of her daughters is Elena Zournatzi, a prominent spirit of the new greek design. Elena is responsible of all the inspiring and refreshing illustrations above and if you pop over at her site you gonna see more! Greek press has done a many great spreads on her, especially after her work for the store of the new Acropolis museum and since I've been there already, take my word on this; everything in the store is so well presented and designed like you're in a really hip and high end place, so totally different from the usual boring museum stores. But Elena has another hidden ace up her sleeve...She creates unique wallpaper designs and children's books. Elena is undoubtly talented. I bet she can have us all swoon over her work within a second!
