Archetipo Kitchen Design: When classic style meets contemporary mood ......

Aesthetical harmony

Love to share with you this fantastic Archetipo island design created by the Italian company L’Ottocento in collaboration with makethatstudio. What a beautiful and elegant design! It owes its character to the shape of the doors, to the colour matching and to the two cylindric steel feet which lighten and support the structure while combining with the diameter of the tap. In love also with the warm and inviting flooring and the soft green walls. 

L’Ottocento kitchens and furniture are an invitation to taste their authenticity. Elegance meeting functionality, natural handcrafted solid wood and original design matched with customization. Be Inspired .......

Classy, Elegant & Timeless Ralph Lauren Collection F/W 2024 .......

 What a delightful, classy and elegant F/W 2024 collection again from fashion designer Ralph Lauren! Be Inspired ....... Earlier I wrote more blogs about Fashion, SEE HERE

“The woman I design for has a beauty that comes from an inner confidence. She dresses for herself. Her style is personal and bold. She believes in quiet sophistication not defined by time or trends. My Fall/Holiday Collection is inspired by that woman - her sense of timelessness, her individuality - a style that is forever.”   

— Ralph Lauren

“To me luxury is about quality and attention to detail. Craftsmanship is part of that. Whether in the handmade beauty of a beaded gown, the cut of a soft leather jacket or the curve of the steering wheel of a vintage racing car. Timelessness - things that last - is the truest form of

luxury.” 

— Ralph Lauren
