‘Spinoff creates a world that doesn’t exist.   A world that evokes islands drifting in the Pacific, galaxies moving through space or perhaps microscopic life forms breaking free.   A world to lose oneself in, a world for dreams infinite and surreal, a world to step into and perceive with heightened senses.   A world created by the juxtaposition of precious stones, gold and pearls interspersed between recycled scraps of ceramic, beach glass, paua shell and more that continually offers differing views with multiple points of interest.’

Love this……………………….When come to see how it had been installed in this way, it looks amazing. Although i do hope that it could be whole wall full of this. i do like the detail thing in the big wall.

Another reason i love this is because of the unique. Except for the material been cut into the desired shape or form, for those material in its natural apperance will be definitely unique,  you can’t really find the second same stone if it is natural stone, right? 

“The salon was a Chinese invention of the 16th century which flourished in France throughout the 17th and 18th centuries. The word salon first appeared in France in 1664 (from the Italian word salone, itself from sala, the large reception hall of Italian mansions). One important place for the exchange of ideas was the salon, a gathering of the intellectual, social, political, and cultural elites.”

-Wikipedia

Now i know a little bit about the history. From whst i see here, there is a common theory in between the old France’s salon and new world salon. No matter in what century, salon is a place for ‘words’ exchange. People go to beauty or hair salon always with companion so that they can talk while having themself pampered.  More sofas or guest seat for the salon is neccesary just like the salons in old times.

Bisazza mosaic….beautiful tile design, definitely the high-end with creative ideas and make interior works! Herewith the Bisazza online catalogue colletion ’09. i only pick some of my favourites.There is someone who i know really like to use gold in design. Everything can be gold when come along the luxury design theme. I wonder if gold also applicable for the opposite design of luxurious?Red and black is extremely striking color to use in interior, like what we have here below. Who cares if it is too striking or not, as long as it is a strong design in concept, well well it will definite rocks!Wording. To me is more like  graphic then interior, sometime is the purpose behind to use it. It can be awesome too!

This house on an island looks straight out of a fairy tale. And 79 year old Boston Architect Henry Wood gets to call it his home. In 1961, Wood and his then wife, Joan bought the island home for a mere $3,600.

Situated on Rhode Island’s Narragansett Bay in US, the house was built by Architect J.S. Lovering Wharton along with Artist William Trost Richards. The island home stands three storeys high, with a large centre hall and 23 rooms. The spacious house has its interiors done in wood keeping with the design of the original home. The house has 10 huge bedrooms, and it would be hard to find one without a view.
