Summer Essentials

Famed Bristol artist Banksy – known primarily for his works that treat the global terrain as his playground – has unveiled a series of new works that utilize the canvas. Dubbed titles like Ballerina, Lifestyle Out of Order and Parliament, his signature humor and sharp as a razor’s edge wit is prominently on display. While he will probably always be most known for his stencil work, it’s clear that Banksy is quite comfortable using more traditional means of expression that still have that cutting edge execution that has made him one of the biggest figures in all of art.

I found these amazing pictures of a house in Düsseldorf, Germany by architect Bruno Erpicum who carved this house from an old factory. As you can see in the pictures it is mainly brick, concrete and glass combined with minimalist furniture and works of art. This shows that it is possible to update a property and space without losing its heritage.
I think that the mix of history and modernity is beautiful in this house. What do you think?

Have a great weekend

We all hate Crocs and every single PVC shoe that came out from that, regardless their level of comfort. These Vivienne Westwood PVC Sneakers made me change my perception about PVC shoes which in the past were a synonym of ugly.
