Gosh, it’s hot in LA. 113 F = 45° C for Fall is a bit too much. When everything and everyone around is melting, the only place you want to be is somewhere dark and cool. What comes to my mind is the surreal Atomic Spa Suisse in Exedra Milan Hotel by Simone Micheli.
The unique design of the space lets you completely escape from the reality and allows for an almost metaphysical experience. Playing on the edge of the futuristic design, Micheli engages all of the dimensions: the ceiling transforms into the walls, which melt into the water, which is being reflected on the ceiling. It’s like 3D movie for grown-ups.

Can you imagine being an interior designer and having the name David Hicks. How hard might it be? No pressure, right? While browsing through archives of our well-known David Hicks, the trend setter in the design world from the 70s, I came across another David Hicks, the contemporary one.
An Australian interior designer, David Hicks brings a different set of cards to the table as his interiors are rather subdued comparing to the works of the older Hicks. Monochrome, strong, handsome and incredibly sleek without being unlivable and hostile. And still you can trace the heritage of the master in the eclecticism of the furniture pieces as well as accessories. Another proof that 20th-century classics never look outdated while providing warmth and character to the space.

As for me, there’s never enough of wallpapers, wall coverings and decorative panels. They always make such a profound transformation in a room at a minimal effort. So I was so exited to discover the ModularArts, a solid mineral composite panels with a such variety of patterns. Painted, lit or just as is, they would add architectural interest to any space. Incredible source of inspiration.
