SKAIR: The Armchair for the skater.

Design

SKAIR is the ultimate modern punk armchair for the loyal teenager of skate.

It’s elaborated of 4 skateboards (2 as backplate, 2 for the seat) covered in faux leather of PVC vinyl with a capitoned design, and black painted oak. It is simple, yet elegant.

It’s a mix of minimal and modern and it can be used to be along with company with extreme conformity and also, as a seat he can use to play videogames and watch TV. It’s easy to move so it can become part of any of the areas of the loft!

Hope you enjoy, love

Take the Greek paradise to your home interior!!

Design

Inspire yourself to recreate the easy, relaxed atmosphere in your own home.
Greek interior designs are actually very easy to achieve and a very comfortable look to live with.

The style is very simple and minimalist, it’s rustic and it’s all represented on the walls, which are always white.
Your bedroom should always be simple, not much decorations.

For the pops of color, use mediterranean blue, turquoise, or yellow.

**DO paint woodwork in a different color, if not varnish, wax or stain them. -Hardwood flooring on Terracotta tiles are always better to represent Greece floors, BUT also a stone floor will work as well.
**Wall hangings: Choose thick, textile, woven wall-hangings, in deep rich colors in geometric shapes. They will make an interesting room, with texture and color
**You don’t need very much furniture for authentic Greek interiors, just keep it all very simple. But if you do, use quality wood furniture.
**Choose low-level furniture – benches, floor cushions and coffee tables – for a very relaxing, easy-to-live-with style
**ACCESSORIES: Choose bare windows, or very simple window treatments, such as wooden shutters, paint them blue for a very authentic Greek interior design look.
**Add plenty of rustic pottery, to get a really authentic Greek interior design look. Go for natural clay, or pretty, brightly colored, painted glazes and patterns.
**if you’re living in a cool place, it’s ok, you can still have you greek-like home interior. Just add more cushions, more throws, wall hangings, pillows, curtains, rugs, more texture, and change colors to warmer ones like yellow and terracotta instead of blue. Exclude the stone floor and use the warm wood of terracotta… In this way you can bring the sunshine of Greece to your home 🙂

Workspaces

Design

No matter your age, your style or necessity: you need a workspace.

To make a space apt for your work you first need to think about the function of it, I mean, what you are planning to do in that specific area, how many space do you need for you to work with total conformity; how many lighting; how many colors; how many visual elements…  The size of your desk, your chair, your shelf, where are you going to collocate your printer, your pens, your computer, your books while using them.

You need to think about how many accessories you need near you so you don’t have to stand up and go for something you’ve forgotten after you’ve reached your concentration and inspiration.  I know. It sucks forgetting an idea because you didn’t find where you were going to write it.  That’s why you need to have everything you will work with simply accessible.

After you’ve figured out all of that, you will start thinking what style are you really into, what describes you, what tendency you will want to use for your workspace. If it’s minimal, if it’s shabby chic, rustic, modern, Scandinavian, contemporary…  And once you’ve planned all that out, you will have a big part of your workspace.  The rest is just decoration.

Less is more: MINIMALISM.

Design

“In the visual arts and music, minimalism is a style that uses pared-down design elements.”

It started with the arts, also known as literalist art, minimal art or ABC art, during the post-World War II, in New York. It is said that minimalism derives from the reductive aspects of Modernism and is often interpreted as a reaction against Abstract expressionism and a bridge to Postminimal art practices.
