Today I bring to you the results of My January’s Artful Expeditions , to local Artisans workshop’s and exhibitions.

Bucking the trend of grand expos such as maison Objet, I decided to  beat the less threaden paths of Home and local workshoops.– the unsung sanctuaries of creativity.

Picture me strolling through cobblestone streets, the heady aroma of espresso guiding my path, this is definately something I like doing . so more to come.

But without further adue here below are my favorite discoveries which as always I love to share with you: each piece boasts a unique charm, waiting to sprinkle a bit of enchantment into your world.

 

1. FOS CERAMICHE

Her wall papers are able to create that unique bespoke indirect connection to nature whilst preserving and respecting artistic talents that as Biophilic Designers we all strive to look for.

From Wine to Design these exclusive design pieces recycle the timeless oak used in the storage of wine. Thanks to great craftsmanship they are able to  highlight the unique natural colours of the wine tanned oak creating beautiful one of a kind pieces.
