Get HOOKED

 Dec. 14, 2012 - Seeing the rise of numerous jewelry designers in a city where there’s abundance of gold & crystals, Farah Nasri from Dubai, the designer behind HOOKED/HKD caught my interest for her limited edition statement pieces of wearable art rings made from unconventional materials and implemented through the art of 3D printing.

Can the Can

 Dec. 7, 2012 - That´s right – canned food has never been fancier. I would go even further and allege that canned food has never been more sophisticated. A place colored by cans of sardines, marinated octopus with tomatoes, and all sorts of national canned specialties. Not forgetting the numerous olive oil and wine bottles.

Kapaleeshwara temple in Mylapore, Chennai

 Dec. 2, 2012 - Every resident of Chennai has visited (or at least seen) the famous Mylapore temple. It’s hard to walk or drive past the fanciful and colorful gopuram (or gateway towers at the two main entrances) and not stare in awe of them. Like many things in India, the story of how the temple was constructed is unclear – there is the mythological version and the historical, and to most, it’s ...

New York: D’Espresso

 Dec. 1, 2012 - D’espresso, a 420 sq feet (39 sq meters) expresso bar, reminds me of the title of a Belle & Sebastian song, “Wrapped up in Books.” However, modern design indicates that wallpaper on all four walls may read as rococo (get it? read?). That’s why Manhattan-based design firm nemaworkshop chose to cover just one wall, ceiling, and floor for D’Espresso’s 42nd Street outpost. Located right next to bustling ...
