Whimsy Yarn
Inspired by a handwoven piece made of wool, acrylic and mohair blend yarn, in shades of grey (cloud, smoke), white, and touches of mustard yarn. The woven panel is attached to a stretched canvas (Eraldo Di Paolo gallery wrapped) so it can be displayed like any wall art. Find it in our online shop.
Squiggles
Squiggly lines are playful, dynamic, full of energy. They move, dance, they are fluid and spontaneous. Bold or subtle, they can evoke feelings of joy, creativity, and freedom. A touch of whimsy that can liven up any design, whether interior or fashion. 1 - Decorative pillows, Olmi Studio 2 - Candle, Missoni Home 3 - Cora table lamp, Paola & Joy 4 - Glass mugs, Rumi Living 5 - Squiggle table, Trit House 6 - Vivien Westwood shoes 7 - Skirt, Anderson Bell
Autumn
How does the change of seasons make you feel? Nostalgic? Reflective? Invigorated? In my neck of the woods March marks the end of summer. This is a sun and beach worshipers’ land, and seasons are not really that different in terms of weather. Except for very slight changes in temperature, it’s sunny pretty much all year round, and most trees are evergreen. Still, the locals hate it - the cold, … the everything. The cold, mainly. I am an odd one out who loves autumn. See, I com
Antibes
A French Riviera gem. Holiday memories that are all about the sea, the colours, the Castle, the old town. The serenity of that place. Pure joy.

That's what a button usually is for, but we are creative and unconventional, and we wanted to see what other uses a button may have. Which one is your favourite? 1 - Button earrings, Fiorina Jewellery 2 - Alessi Kalisto Buttoned Jar, Farfetch 3 - Balmain Pumps.

Summer Rain
When I first inspected the house I was very excited that I would finally have a studio where I could hide from the rest of the world and do all that creative stuff. A small bedroom on the ground floor, a room that I could decorate in girly colours without creating panic and rebellion among the male family members. At the time, as 55DesignStreet, I had just discovered via Instagram the beautiful artwork of Patricia Schwimmer. Beautiful, feminine, calming. There was this painti
Florals for Spring
Groundbreaking. Yes, we hear you, Miranda Priestley. But it seems floral patterns are not that common in soft furnishings these days, nor in clothing, which was the the starting point for this mood board. Confirmed by the fact that we couldn't find that many floral cushions out there to match our board. We love simplicity and moderate use of patterns, but also believe that in the right amount, a few splashes of florals here and there are a nice touch. Because "where florals b

Artwork can be a starting point and great source of inspiration for designing a space. Scrolling through Instagram for inspiration can lead to wonderful things, like discovering beautiful artwork but more importantly, beautiful people. A while back, as 55DesignStreet, I came across a painting called “Flock Together” by Stephanie Bostock, and I smiled because of the coincidence. I like coincidences. I had just chosen the same colours as the ones in her painting for one of my i
