Concept Store in Amsterdam

  Sukha seems to be one of the most beautifull stores in Amsterdam. A home accessory and clothing store located on Haarlemmerstraat. The name means “happiness” in Sanskrit, and hapinness is what it reflects! White walls and floors, natural elements and recycled materials. Most of the productsare vintage or made from recycled materials.

MATTO

MATTO in Italian means crazy or mad. It is also the name of the latest trendy Italian restaurant in Shanghai. It is the creation of Yenn Wong, the mastermind behind the JIA Boutique Hotels.  Apart from the food which is amazing (and recently awarded!) it is famous for it’s design style. Darryl Goveas is the director of Pure Creative International and he did not treat this 253sqm interior space like any usual pizza restaurant . Instead he addressed it with eclectic modernity, combinig industrial materials with rustic, raw materials and European-style details. Belissimo!

Andronicos Hotel, Myconos

Have a look at this fabulous hotel in Mykonos. Andronikos Hotel is designed by KLab Architecture and it’s Cocoon rooms are fluid forms and organic curves that we often see in the local architecture. The concept was to create a relaxing space and a calm refuge for the lucky guests. Elements like pebbles on the floor and bamboo accents were really clever and a nice way to mix the traditional architecture with the modern style. I seriously think this is one of the most beautiful hotels in Greece!

Bakery In Melbourne


Australian March Studio designed this Melbourne bakery. The concept was an oversized breadbasket.

 The undulating wooden plywood forms that cover the wall and ceiling of the shop function as shelves for storing and displaying breads.

The central wooden counter is conceived of as a giant chopping board. It has integrated pockets for scales, crumb trays, knife holders and POS terminals. Everything has a place on this working bench. 

Oh how I love the texture of this rough wall! It balance greatly with all that wood work on the other side.

Sweet Alchemy

Sweet Alchemy is a pastry shop located in the suburb of Kifisia in the northern region of Athens.  Designed by Kois Associated Architects it belongs to Stelios Parliaros, author of many culinary books and host of a popular patisserie show in Greek TV.

Alchemy is a word associated with mysticism practiced in laboratories full of mysterious devices and potions. These images were the central idea of the project, the recreation of this atmosphere with a contemporary twist.

The role of light was very important and thoroughly studied . Light and shadow change throughout the day giving the space a unique atmosphere every moment. The shop seems like a chamber of treasures,  a golden cage full of precious delicasies, a place that encloses  the sin of the pleasure of the forbidden fruit.

The philosophy of the design requiered raw materials such as iron, bronze, copper and wood.  The designers say that their purpose ” was not the stenographic representation of a mystic environment but the formulation of the spirit of the place, the ‘genius loci’, the atmosphere that will saturate the space and will transform it to a true place with its very own distinctive character”.
