I don’t know about you, but after the cacophony of the last couple of weeks I feel in need of a complete rest and recharge.
Here’s hoping this week’s faves both inspire and help fill your creative spirit.
Cheers, Arren
I found myself totally spellbound watching Mattea McNurlen at work in this video, painting Moglea’s completely covetable linen bound notebooks. How amazing is that?
Helmed by Chad and Meg Gleason, and based out of their Audubon, Iowa, farm/studio, Moglea’s artful stationery is a colourfully crafted antidote to the blank page. The Swan design is part of their Fall ‘20 collection, but there’s loads more to ogle here, including lots more hand-painted pieces. Love.
Rough, smooth, modern and organic - Meet Wil & Co. Interior designer Allison Willson recently launched her new lighting collection, and it’s already attracting the right kind of notoriety because, well, it’s rather scrumptious.
Made in Canada of materials that invite you to touch them - think darkly patinated brass, mouth-blown glass in a softly milky hue, and twisted and braided jute - the line consists of five handsome artisan-made fixtures practically begging for the chance to amp up your interior.
Just breathe.
Nestled in the rocky Tramuntana mountains of Mallorca, with views overlooking the Mediterranean, Mar Plus Ask architects have created a project called The Olive Houses. Literally built into the landscape, the two off-grid houses are finished in a palette of pink and purple stucco inspired by the olive trees on the property.
Between the two, you’ll find a simple and spare kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and living space - all powered by solar panels - which the architects Mar Vicens and Ask Anker Aistrup envision as a quiet refuge for architects, artists and writers around the year. See more here.
To quote Liz Lemon, “I want to go to there.”
