What a Holiday Home
I've posted other projects by A-Cero Architects, but this holiday home in the Dominican Republic has to get its fair share on my blog. I am loving every aspect of it. Those creamy white slab curves which resemble sand dunes or maybe the tips of waves in the ocean are so Le Corbusier (but dare I say more genteel). The interior is elegant in its simplicity. The Entrance makes me speechless. So many of A-Cero projects are breathtaking.
They are officially my favorite architectural firm.

Go there for lunch and enjoying the rest of the day shopping at the avenues.

I want an edible cup
"Jelloware are biodegradable, edible (and vegan!) cups that are flavored to compliment the drink inside. You can eat your cup as you sip your drink, and any leftover remnants can be composted."
such a fun concept. This creative project is funded by Kickstarter

A Phonkerchief always comes in Handy,
For some of us, a phonkerchief might come in handy.
So many times you might get a rolling eye or an 'ohh' sound for browsing through your mobile.
But you can do something about it.
Get your phonekerchief out and get that point across, that the phone is OFF for You.
You can find more of these polite materials in UNCOMMON GOODS

Who's that......?
Stop, look at this lovely model. Stop again, I mean look at this lovely model again. Can we argue about how pretty this beauty is? I guess we can! But can we really argue about this model's gender? No we can't. This is Male model Andrej Pejic. He is working it on Jean Paul Gaultier's SS11 Couture show. Damn, as the subtitle in the telegraph says "Watch out girls, there's a
new top model in town and he's after your jobs".

What will You wear to Celebrate Kuwait's Independence Day?
Elektra Bakery
Bonjour to the smell of imaginary bread!
I wish we had a bakery like this in Kuwait.
Anyway, this is "part of a chain of family-run bakeries called 'Elektra' located in Edessa, Greece. Studioprototype had the opportunity to redefine the look of its shops with this pilot project. The shop is small covering only thirty-five square metres."
A simple concept, yet a marvelous outcome.
