How many times have you seen in an office a chest of drawers like this?
Don’t make the mistake of considering it an ordinary and old object, because this is “The Chest of drawers”.
Therefore, if you own an object like this, before you throw it away, you’d better read this post.

Glass is a very ancient material and glass for interior in a great idea.
In the past great masterpieces were created, but still today this material is capable of inspiring artists, and especially designers.
One of the exhibitions I suggested that you visit on the occasion of the Venice Biennale 2017 is dedicated to Ettore Sottsass and his relationship with glass.
During the last Salone del Mobile designer Vito Nesta presented an innovative project which combines a material of the past, such as opaline glass, with a modern material, such as steel.
With the project RISVOLTI, realized in collaboration with Effetto Vetro, opaline glass, which is gone out of production since the 1950s, is associated to Supermirror steel.
I addressed some questions to Vito Nesta, in order to understand where the idea came from, and how important the relationship between tradition and innovation is to him.

a Swatch Art Special, WIDE ACRES OF TIME
Swatch watches have marked some of the most important landmarks in my life.
It was a Swatch the first watch my parents bought me; I got many Swatch watches as a birthday present, and it’s a Swatch the watch I wear every day and I’m wearing right now, while I’m writing this post.
In my opinion Swatch watches have always been a symbol of colour and creativity.
Therefore, I wasn’t surprised when I saw a whole Pavilion at the Venice Art Exhibition 2017 dedicated to four young talented artists and a collectible Swatch created for this edition of the Venice Biennale, indeed.
In fact, when I gave you my opinion about the Biennale Arte 2017, I also gave you four good reasons to visit it, and the Swatch project is one of these reasons.
Vicenza is the Italian hub of illustration.
From May 27th to June 25th 2017 Vicenza will host the third edition of Illustri Festival, an illustration festival, and will open the doors of its most prestigious monuments like Basilica Palladiana.
8 art exhibitions, 500 illustrators, almost 100 artists involved.
A month characterized by the best of national scene, a look at the production of the greatest international artists of the present and the past, and the first solo exhibition arranged in Italy of one of the most well-known illustrators at international level, Noma Bar.
For the first time the event has a charity section, organized in collaboration with Médecins Sans Frontières (also known as Doctors Without Borders).

Are you a cinema lover? Do you like searching for those places where you can experience your favourite scenes of the big screen?
Well, then you must visit the city of Lyons, because here the seventh art was born, thanks to the Lumière brothers, who at the end of the 19th century invented the cinèmatographe and released the first movie in history.
