Helsinki Design Week 2013

Last week we had the great opportunity to enjoy a great display of design and art in Helsinki.
At the beautiful old warehouse  in Katajanokka was set a fantastic sample of what is now going on in the design world, Scandinavian and also European.
Workshops were also running during the weekend, and non stop activities for adults and kids .
Some of the brands that we could enjoy were, Marimekko, Iittala, Hays, Pelago bikes, Muuto and many more.
Hope that events like this would happen more often!

A space for Boys and Girls

Today , I would like to try a bit the interior photography again, and I have test it in my own home.
I shoot our kids room. I think the challenge is to keep a tiny room, adapted for boys and for girls needs, toys, clothes..etc.
This room used to be a kitchen, yes a kitchen, and this is the result after selling and give away everything that was in there, fill holes, close old pipes, remove the wall papers, paint, put new floors, and redecorated.
I like to keep it simple, as you have probably notice in all my shoots, and also with the decoration.
The colour bit comes from wall decor, self-made window flags with recycling material, framed kids drawings, own illustrations and ethnic pieces from Mozambique, Honduras, Peru...bit of the nice things from around the world that our family and friends has given to us.
Hope you enjoy it!

Valencian Design

Bit late to post this one work, but i wanted to shared it with you all. Last year I had the honour to photograph , some products of a  furniture company, based in Valencia, Spain, Koo International.
Art directing this project was the very talented people of CuldeSac, a fantastic and several times awarded advertising company, from the same city. Really, it was a great pleasure!
