La Clinica.

La Clinica is a collection of handcrafted furniture produced by local artisans based in three different parts o the world: Madrid, Turin, and Sao Paulo. Each piece is made from solid wood (part of it comes from reused resources) and painted with water-based colors. They are designed to be completely dismountable, lowering the costs of shipping and storage.

What we like is how simple and utilitarian La Clinica's pieces are. Not only are they understated aesthetically, but conceptually we're talking about something very straightforward and easy to grasp. Yet, the end results are sophisticated and downright gorgeous. Very stunning stuff, guys! Keep up the good work.

Les Fermes de Marie.

Les Fermes de Marie is a luxury hotel located in the ski resort village of Megève, France, buried deep in the French Alps. Judging by the following images, we imagine even just a short stay at Le Fermes de Marie would be impossibly surreal and breathtakingly cool.

We like to imagine waking up to fresh powder outside and a long morning on the slopes, following by a fresh, roasted meal and massage. Night skiing would come naturally, ending with drinks in the lodge around an open fire. Les Fermes de Marie embodies the French Alpine spirit tenfold. There is simply no other place in the world like it.
