Pool me up: green pools edition

| decorescape

Since I met the famous orange pool from Tivoli Mofarrej Hotel in São Paulo, I started looking at pools from a different perspective. Nowadays, I just fell in love with green pools. I feel they can mix better with the landscape, especially in the country side, when green is usually more predominant. So here is my green pool selection. I hope you like it!

Desde que eu conheci a famosa piscina laranja do Hotel Tivoli Mofarrej em São Paulo, comecei a olhar para piscinas de uma forma diferente. Recentemente, me apaixonei pelas piscinas verdes. Acredito que elas se misturam melhor com a paisagem, especialmente no campo, onde o verde é naturalmente predominante. Então aqui vai minha seleção de piscinas verdes. Espero que gostem!

The simplicity of Scandinavian Design

| decorescape

Pular para português

The Scandinavian Design movement was born around the 1950`s, together with the social democracy ideology – the most common political line of Northern Europe, which combines (i) free-market capitalism and (ii) the welfare state. The design movement, in its turn, tries to combine (i) modernism and functionality with (ii) mass attainability, trying out new material, and ways of production to be affordable to all. These concepts of simplicity, minimalism and functionality end up manifesting a different attitude towards life: to stay true to our simple essence and values.
Here are the interiors with Scandinavian elements I chose for you today. I hope you like it!
XOXO,

O design escandinavo nasceu nos anos 50, acompanhado da ideologia social democrata – a linha política mais comum nos dias atuais nos países do norte da Europa. Ela combina: (i) capitalismo de livre mercado e (ii) estado do bem-estar social. Da mesma forma, o design escandinavo, em sua essencia, tentava associar: (i) modernismo e funcionalidade a (ii) acesso das massas ao design, por meio de confecção com novos materiais e novas formas de produção. Esses conceitos de simplicidade, minimalismo e funcionalidade acabam por manifestar uma atitude diferente perante a vida: se manter fiel perante à nossa essência simples e valores.
Aqui está a seleção de interiores com elementos do design escandinavo. Espero que gostem!
