French architect Emmanuelle Simon is responsible for the design of this beautiful spa in Paris, it was created by French-Japanese brand Evidens de Beauté in celebration of their 10th Anniversary. I think the colour palette of this minimalistic place is amazing and it is all I am dreaming of for my Masterplan 2.0 The small metal shelves […]

This last Milan Design Week apparently will be remembered as a record edition for visitor figures, both at the Salone del Mobile and at the Fuorisalone installations and their various events.
