Antiques in the midst of the XXI century
Inspired by the light torch bearers of the night parades of the “Mardi Gras” in New Orleans, the famous sculptors and designers Paul Grüer and Benjamin Burst offer us a new Flambeau collection.
The table lamps, wall lamps, floor lamps and ceiling lamps of the signature brand combine sophisticated forms and silhouettes with feathering finishes in gold and silver, creating antiques in the midst of the XXI century.
Loading ...Marine inspiration

m3 is art of the framework that shows our way of life has changed. Just as different types of families as well as individulas that inhabit a space are mixed, making it necessary to convert the way we share space in an apartment.
Sliding doors
Sliding doors are a wonderful solution to save space, communicate spaces, hide steps… In the market you can find different types among which we can choose according to our need.
Forms that fit
The Puzzle lamp from Vibia is one and three. Three elements of a single interlocking unit that could fit together like pieces of a puzzle.
The Argentinian designer, Diego Fortunato, has reinterpreted the multiple hanging lamp in a sublime exercise of forms that give rise to a modern, artistic composition.
Alone or in groups of 3, the lines of the Puzzle lamp lead us to follow its tortuous curves, its ins and outs. As if it were a game…
The Puzzle lamp has a lacquered finish that gives it a high sheen and it comes in 3 colours: white, black and silver. The quality of light is achieved by the optical-glass diffuser.
Kettal “Prêt à porter”

Twing, choose your bed
Twing is an sleeping system consisting in six types of headboard and four bed surrounds that when cleverly combined produce several solutions for golden slumbers.
Experimenting with materials and finishes
Stripes is the new collection of dining room tables, coffee tables and corner tables designed by Mónica Sánchez.
Stripes has a simple and minimalist design: the cover of this piece is made from plate oak and an open pores, allowing the vetoed wood to peek through and also maintaining its warmth, with a series of symmetrical slots that draw lines on top of the envelope.
Practical advice when hanging pictures
Paintings are the artistic element in which we could give that special decoration touch to any space. Placing them seems like an easy task, but it must be done according to certain criteria, for the result does not give to a studied decoration.
The main ornaments of a home such as placement of wall paintings have been in the head of the bed and the sofa wall, and maybe these are two places where we must focus all our attention, but any piece of art has a place in any room and wall.
