Cristina Sandwich Shower Series

cristina rubinetterie sandwich color chromatherpy light shower

 

“…Such a universe is beyond inagination: a world without color would be a world without light, for light and color are inseparable”.    Quote by E. Ambrose Webster: Early Modernist Painter
This is the universe of Cristina Rubinetterie, an Italian waterworks company flourishing with eye-popping designs. The Sandwich series offers a shower experience like no other, where you are bathed in soothing colored light as well as intense streams of water. The incredibly thin profile of the over-sized shower head (just 4 mm thickness) compresses the water out, so uniform pressure is a water-saving result. Oh and the red, green and blue lighting? Well I would paint and tile my bathroom black too if I had this showerhead as my muse.

Luxury Kitchens by Clive Christian

Luxury Kitchen by Clive Christian

Clive Christian is a company for luxury homes of the world. This luxury kitchen is decked out with light painted cabinetry and many pieces of richly carved corbels and scrolled details. With such a large and open room, you can have auxiliary features such as the two ornate display cabinets with niches for limestone sculptures. Because nothing says excess like a kitchen that also serves as an art exhibition. Oh the vanity! 

But I love it.

Tree Stump End Table

I finally found a set of reading chairs for our office after much searching, but they were so unique I had a hard time deliberating what ottoman to get. That was when I remembered tree stump tables. Of course! Distinctive on their own and very fashionable, the tree stump end table was a perfect solution. All that was required was to select a marbling wood that complemented the frame of the chairs.
