Marimekko World

Cityscape and people watching on your duvet by Marimekko

What can I say? I have Marimekko graphics on the mind this week and I couldn’t help featuring some of the latest collection.

The Finnish company continues to build on their renowned use of bold graphics and cheerful colours hailing back to the brand’s conception in the swirl of mid-century design aesthetic.

Despite my rainbow tendencies, I fell for today’s white and black accessories for the home. My favourite print: the urban city scene outlines that are like a flash in time capturing the essence of movement with a few sketches.

Paris: Apple Store

I’m currently testing out Apple gadgets at the Paris Apple store. Besides the cool products, the architecture of this building is white and fresh! Just took a photo using the MacBook Pro. Loving the classic Parisien iron work.
