The wow effect of mixing bright colors and black




20m2

As if you have noticed by the link above, Rua2 has a new partner. In fact, it's not exactly a partner but a concurrent of my attention!

20m2 is my new incursion by this world of blogging/tumblring. A web space where I publish ideas and solutions for small spaces that I find on the web, see on magazines or photograph on the streets.

I had the idea of create this tumblr after move to Paris and realize that instead of living in a 100 meters square home as I was used to, I would have to live me-myself-my-husband- and-all-my-clothes in a tiny 29 meters square. Which is equivalent of 312 square feet. Small, ugh?

So, before moving to this minuscule box - which I ironically call loft (I didn't mentioned: is a studio. 1 piece only!) - I've got obsessed about this small space subject and during my hunts for inspiration I realized that there is plenty of good small spaces projects but not many sites, blogs and etc that are focused on this kind of content.

Hope you like it!

The floor become a wall and this become a table




That is a good idea for a kitchen counter bar, don't you think?
The inspiration comes from Hospital, the fashion shop designed by Puresang.

Friday's Special: Hospital experience


No, I am not sick!

Hospital is a clothing store in Antwerp. Designed by the belgian architects of Puresang, it is set in a former stable, at the trendy neighborhood of Zuid.

The space, a 1000 square meters with a ceiling of seven meters high, shows a dramatic mixture of wood, bricks and colorful glass panels where a lot of wonderful ideas are hidden (I will show some of them in future posts...) 














You can see this surprising interior at 4 Burburestraat, Antwerp.
