a Giraffe takes an impromptu swim, to cool off in the African heat.

Only in Africa…

My friend Elmarie sent these pics in a mail.  Unfor­tu­nately I have no idea where they were taken.  If you hap­pen to know the story, let us know?

Rut Karadot­tir stud­ied inte­rior design at Isti­tuto Europeo di Design in Rome.  She worked at an archi­tec­ture stu­dio, Iezzi & Iezzi in Italy, for some time before start­ing her own design stu­dio in Ice­land in year 1997.  Rut´s designs are char­ac­terised by sim­ple and clear forms with a care­ful selec­tion of mate­ri­als & light­ing  to cre­ate a clas­sic, but warm atmosphere.

I love her work - a won­der­ful mix of Scan­di­na­vian and mod­ern with some rus­tic elements.

Les Interieurs projects have appeared in numer­ous highly regarded pub­li­ca­tions around the world such as Elle Decor UK, Marie Claire Mai­son Italy, Elle Decor Italy and Vogue Liv­ing Aus­tralia, to name but a few. There is some­thing unique about Pamela Makin and the spe­cial­ized style she brings to her work.

Pamela’s sig­na­ture style is defined by her quest to source one-off pieces from around the world to accent the clean lines of her inte­ri­ors. Tribal arti­facts, smooth con­crete floors and large strik­ing art­work are com­pli­mented by nat­ural tex­tures includ­ing beau­ti­ful aged tim­bers teamed with cot­tons & linens.

Stun­ning inte­ri­ors to match the breath­tak­ing views.

Fash­ion designer John Rocha knows how to design. How­ever his pared-down, sim­ple vaca­tion bun­ga­low in St. Jean–Cap-Ferrat, France stands in stark con­trast to his edgy and dark-cloaked run­way models.

This bun­ga­low is where he comes to relax and clear his mind. It’s no sur­prise then that the archi­tec­ture is com­posed of uncom­pli­cated geom­e­try, white walls, Ital­ian lime­stone and a trop­i­cal (back­yard) oasis with a slate infin­ity pool.

Absolutely gor­geous; it’s one of my all-time favourites.
