When thinking of an interior designer whose work never fails to fascinate through its consistency to produce gasps of admiration, the name that springs to mind is that of Maria Llado. Her portfolio contains some impressive clients in equally impressive locations, from the Giorgio Armani Showroom in Milan to exclusive homes in the Hamptons!

Constructed on a grassy slope overlooking the town of Decin in the Czech Republic, Villa Decin enjoys the best of both worlds, a rural setting with urban amenities. The 750 sq.m. home was designed by the practice of Studio Pha, who created a residence within a simple geometric structure positioned on a stone base, which accommodates ample parking and storage space.

When the design practice of Jessica Helgerson was asked to undertake the interior of a very smart brownstone in the Fort Greene area of Brooklyn, the client gave the green light to use colour in whatever way within the design concept.

Whoever is familiar with the work of Swedish art director/typographer Therese Sennerholt will instantly recognize her stunning black and white prints. A similar uncomplicated simplicity has been employed in the interior of her home designed by her friend, Lotta Agaton. 

Bear House is a memorable holiday home designed for a fun loving young couple and their two small children in Cha-Am beach, Thailand, by the local practice of Onion. The inspiration came into being through the request of the client to provide a prominent space for their collection of Bearbrick figures, a modular bear figure created by the Japanese firm of Medicom Toy Inc.

When choosing a Christmas tree, so many factors come into force! Synthetic or a live one? Growing in a pot or cut and propped up in a stand? Bombarded with familiar images of the green clad tree weighted under a number of baubles and glittering lights, only conventional comes to mind! 

When we least expect it, a chance meeting or a visit to a previously unexplored region can become a life changing event which can lead to the fulfillment of our dreams, or perhaps our destiny.
