Menswear: beautiful field jacket by Italian fashion brand Brunello Cucinelli

 
Would like to share with you today this refined jacket as I am really in love with this elegant suede shearling field jacket from the Italian fashion brand Brunello Cucinelli. What a beautiful piece of craftsmanship! It's an icon of retro style inspired by travel and exploration, a combination of a leather exterior and a full, extremely soft wool interior. Earlier I wrote more blogs about Brunello Cucinelli, SEE HERE

More about the fashion brand
Brunello Cucinelli is a brand specialising in luxury ready-to-wear for men and women with a focus on great craftsmanship, quality and creativity. At the end you will also find two inspiring videos, the 1st video is where the founder, mr. Brunello Cucinelli tells us more about:

'We can go back to showing respect, dignity, esteem and kindness.
These are the main concepts at the center of human existence'. 

In the 2nd video showed on the You Tube channel of Mr. Porter, mr. Cucinelli gives us insight into the craftsmanship of his brand in his Umbrian home village. He lives with his family in Solomeo, a small Italian village just outside Assisi. I love the values mr. Cucinelli is expressing. It touched my soul. :-) Be Inspired by this special brand from Italy ......



Thank you for reading this blogpost.

Interior Design: Beautiful retro furniture design

While surfing on internet today I saw these beautiful and practical Retro designs, like this 'Metro' side/wall table inspired by the years 50 and 60. Because of his compact size also useful as bed table, coffee table, hall table, small writing desk or a modern make-up table. Sidetable 'Metro' is available at the Dutch company Tafel-Design.nl in white, black and wood. They have more inspiring products, e.g. the design hocker 'Mr. Grasshopper', the Ergonomic design stool 'Ercolino' in beech wood as well as the 'Baby Ball Design Chair' for the little ones. I will write more blogs about their interesting products later on. For more information, see the enclosed link below.

FURNITURE DESIGN: Serie Privé by Philippe Starck for Cassina

While surfing on internet I found these beautiful designs from Philippe Starck. It's called PrivĂ© - a range of retro-looking, leather-upholstered sofas and chairs for Italian brand Cassina. It's from an older collection, but I really like these elegant & timeless designs. The entire range is also available in white.
