This residence at the Singel, Amsterdam is yet another amazing project by i29 Interior Architects, one of my absolute favorite interior architecture firms. i29 is innovative in their approach, but they are able to keep their designs so simple by combining materials in such an awe inspiring way while maintaining an incredible sense of calmness. This design takes things one step further outside the box, or maybe I should say inside the walls. This space is made up of freestanding objects and interior volumes. Within the space you feel the openness, but the interior of the volumes feel very intimate. The kitchen and wardrobe are contained within one volume near the entrance. The burled walnut is so rich against the white epoxy floors and white walls. This space seriously takes my breath away!

Marcel Wanders is an A-list designer who works for the world’s edgiest brands. As a child, he wanted to be a garden designer so has a real interest in outdoor design and is on top of where things are heading. A couple of weeks back I read an interview in which he says modern gardens are now so far from what gardens used to be that it is hypocritical to still pretend they all are devoted to the natural world. He suggests you dare to go all out and opt for deliberately faux nature designs.

Here are a few faux nature options that will create a conversation-worthy garden.

At Maison et Objet I saw these fabulous fake, hand-painted apples by Bull and Stein. They come over-sized, as well as in a variety of colors. The brand also offers pears and lemons, limes, and eggs.

As you follow the fabulous smell of bubblegum lingering in the air, you begin to daze off and dream of your favorite childhood moment. You then magically arrive beneath the enchanting circus tent in the Melissa Lounge at Sao Paulo Fashion Week.
