MAISON OBJET 2015

RUG REPUBLIC

When Autumn arrives, so does the new trade shows, and with that in mind we popped along to this season's Maison Objet show in Paris.

Here are some images from the show which we think you might like. Especially if you couldn't make it.

COLOUR SWATCHES SPANISH STYLE



Hi everyone.
As promised, here is another post linked to our time spent in Spain this summer. This time we are focusing on the gorgeous colours we spotted. We hope these colour combinations will inspire you in your future projects.
Have a great start to the week.

PATTERNS ON TOUR


Hi everyone! We wanted to break up some of our Spanish road trip photos into a variety of inspiring blog posts. We will be posting them over the coming weeks. First up is a beautiful post about the wonderful ceramic tiles we came across. This was a particular trend in Andalusia where many tiles are still hand made today.

I hope your eyes enjoy this feast of colour and pattern!

MALAGA TO BARCELONA // THE END OF THE ROAD

The Alhambra, Granada


Hi, Alice here. I am writing this as we have just arrived back in our little Paris flat after an amazing two weeks travelling around Spain.
It was both eye opening, and exhausting, where everyday it became imperative to see and do as much as possible. After leaving Seville, we arrived in Malaga (well, El Palo to be precise) where we stayed for 3 days very near to the beach. This was our most relaxed period during the trip. We went into Malaga centre only twice, and spent one whole afternoon at the beach relaxing and swimming.
During our time there we also took a day trip to Granada. (I know, I said it was relaxing). At Granada we visited the very famous Alhambra palace set up high above the town. The gardens were beautiful, and just a word to the wise, if you want to visit the palace book early, and give yourself a whole day to explore as it is very vast.

After Malaga we took a few cars to Valencia which brings me to quite a funny story. We found the flat relatively easily. So far, so good. We were then buzzed in to the building and told to get the lift to what I thought was meant to be the 3rd floor. Up we went, only to here the guy shout it's the 1st floor. Down we went, where we were greeted by Carlos and his partner Miguel Angel. They warmly invited us in and showed us to our room. It was spectacular. The whole apartment was over 100 square metres and so amazingly decorated, our jaws were on the floor. We spent 20 mins chatting and then headed to our room to unpack. We sorted out the WIFI, and were just getting comfy when the bell for the apartment rang again. It was another airbnb couple. We all stared at each other in bemusement. It turned out we were in the wrong apartment! How utterly mortifying!.
Our room was two floors up in the same block, so we meekly gathered our things and slunk out feeling a little gutted we weren't staying there. The flat upstairs though, was, thankfully, just as beautiful with the same layout and fantastic space and light. Major apartment envy!

One night spent in Valencia led us two our final destination, Barcelona, where we stayed for one night and a few hours in the morning before we had to catch a car to France. It's been a whirlwind of a trip and Aurelien is already planning our next one. I need a foot massage before we go anywhere again.

Let us know of your summer trips in the comments below. Anywhere you highly recommend?

SEVILLE



Seville! Just WOW! There was too much to love about this place that we don't know where to start! The architecture, the gardens, the ceramics. Every time you turned around a corner there was something amazing to see. Whether it was the colour of a building, a ceramic sign for a restaurant or secret plaza with fountain. All are just too beautiful.  Happy to have spent 5 days there and we will definitely be coming again in the future.

MADRID


From the 14th-16th August we were in Madrid as our Spanish road trip continued. 
We loved the culture and low-cost lifestyle for a capital city, although it may not be the prettiest city in Spain in terms of historical architecture. We did find some colour that brightened our days.
