The home renovation of the hundred year old worker's cottage by Glenn Lamont of Melbourne-based design and manufacturing practice LifeSpaceJourney is a real product of workmanship. Apparently the cottage was originally uninhabitable but Glenn's imagination has tailored it into a modern yet grounded open plan space. Wood, steel and copper are common elements of the work of LifeSpaceJourney keeping an earthy tone throughout.
I first became aware of the practice in London at the Clerkenwell Design Week 2012 under the umbrella of MATILDA, an Australian label representing 10 of the nation's best. Their C1Flange and C2Fat pendent lights in brushed copper are my favourite products, but I could recommend almost everything to my clients. Glenn's home is the perfect showroom of their work.

Carrying on the theme of light and composition from my previous post, I'm presenting to you this time on the bright side of life the vibrant colour block work of Elena Mora
Elena Mora is an italian freelance stylist and set designer who's rosy sets are an incredible dose of neo surrealism and meticulous execution. A very witty work.

The photographic work of Nelson Miranda, an architect and old colleague is a sensitive analysis of decaying buildings in Portugal. These urban carcasses become ethereal landscapes of inhabitable spaces. Working with shades, textures and darkness, this pictures are a refined version of a strange reality. An admirable work that
I'm certainly following!

Remodelista

Using 40 different shades from the palest pearl grey to spearmint green in their palette, the duo Mirko Beetschen and Stephane Houlmann (Bergdorf Agency), created a simple but very charming flow of spaces that reflect subtle mood variations. Elegant and beautiful.

Today I attended the Furnitex and Decoration + Design at the Melbourne Exhibition Centre and I found a couple of pieces that called my attention: 

- the textiles from INK & SPINDLE for textiles have a really nice texture and feel to touch. They're ethically sourced using natural and organic fibres like hemp and the designs are hand printed.


- and my favourite, the TRUNK & ORDERLY traditional fibreboard cases that made me travel back in time. They're suitcases, storage boxes, drawer units and they even created a tall fibreboard totem that fits inside one of the suitcases! How their creativity moved from the design of a suitcase to a totem is a mystery to me.

There's also a good story behind the making of these suitcases. Joel Adams, owner and cabinet maker, in 2011 found Everlite Travel Goods (est. 1950) closing up in North Melbourne and decided to re-utilise the case making equipment of the old company. He gave it a new home in his Ballarat workshop and started on the hand making of the fibreboard cases. Fibreboard is a super tough compressed board product that has been used for case making for over a century and Joel uses authentic U.K. vintage stock.
