Home makeover with Made in Design Italia

Comprare casa è una pietra miliare nella vita di una persona.

Sinonimo di acquisita indipendenza, la ricerca di una casa su misura è tanto faticosa quanto elettrizzante e quando la si ha trovata… ecco che inizia il vero divertimento! L’ arredo che rispecchi il proprio essere è stata sicuramente la mia parte preferita e ora che ho deciso di fare un makeover totale del mio appartamento ho pensato di fare degli acquisti online per velocizzare il tutto.

Dopo varie peregrinazioni virtuali, sono approdata su Made in Design Italia ed è stato amore a primo click. Made in Design è il sito leader numero 1 in Europa della vendita online di arredamento design, illuminazione e decorazione e nel loro distaccamento italiano mi sono persa tra una console Ibride e una sospensione Vertigo, tra una sedia di Kartell e un tavolo di Moooi.

Made in Design è stata una grande fonte di ispirazione in quanto ero partita per arredare nuovamente il mio appartamento con dei mobili di antiquariato ma, nel mentre che curiosavo sul sito, ho avuto l’idea sì di utilizzare pezzi antichi ma di abbinarli ad altri prettamente moderni e il risultato che si sta venendo a creare mi sta piacendo da morire!

Il mio primo acquisto sul sito è stata la lampada da tavolo Bourgie di Kartell bianca con il paralume interno dorato, ma potete trovarla anche in altre varianti di colore ovvero  trasparente, nero, cromato e dorato. La Bourgie è la rivisitazione di un grande classico della maison, la Baroque, a cui viene aggiunto un tocco più glamour e altamente sofisticato. La lampada è in policarbonato con un paralume ad effetto plissetato, il quale è regolabile in 3 altezze diverse grazie all’utilizzo di apposito supporto. Grazie ad esso, la lampada assume l’altezza di 68, 73 e 78 centimetri.

Il prodotto è di alta gamma e lusso e ne sono rimasta assolutamente soddisfatta.

La mia esperienza di acquisto su Made in Design si è rivelata altrettanto soddisfacente e semplice.

La Bourgie era disponibile in pronta consegna e mi è stata recapita a casa in 3 giorni. Sono rimasta molto colpita dall’ imballaggio meticoloso e altamente protettivo, che preservava il prodotto all’interno. Decisamente un altro punto a favore di questo negozio online.

Attualmente su Made in Design sono corso i Saldi estivi con un 40% di sconto su una vasta selezione che potete trovare qui e inoltre, se volete fare un regalo ma non siete sicuri su cosa scegliere, il sito offre la possibilità di donare una Gift Card, da 10 Euro fino a oltre 500 Euro, semplicemente selezionando l’importo desiderato. La card verrà automaticamente recapitata via e-mail al destinatario oppure se si preferisce consegnarla personalmente bisogna semplicemente inserire il proprio indirizzo email e la card verrà ricevuta in pochi minuti. La gift card è valida su tutti i prodotti presenti sul sito.

Il mio primo acquisto è stato assolutamente ottimo e lo ha fatto diventare il mio shop online di design di fiducia, tanto è che ho deciso di acquistare per la sala da pranzo le sedie Louis Ghost , che arrivano in un set da 4 ( già scontate evviva, stavano aspettando me!!) , trasparenti in stile Louis XVI e che non vedo l’ora di avere!

Sotto troverete una selezione di pezzi che ho già inserito nel carrello  e che aspetto con ansia di poter inserire in casa mia. Vi consiglio assolutamente questo negozio per affidabilità, alta qualità di prodotti e serietà.

The Fashion Interview | Pamela Rota, creative director of Warloom

As part of my job, I’m always searching for new talented designers and brand characterized by excellence and quality.

Warloom is an Italian label that I appreciate and love since some years. Born and raised in Italy, each product is handmade with high quality leathers and took inspiration from the world of 50s circus.

What I love about Warloom? Very easy question. Their base concept dedicated to all the indipendent women out there ( yes you can start listening to Destiny’s Child song while reading ) that are extremely cool, self confident and classy. And above all, I adore Pamela, the founder and creative mind of the brand. Tall, blonde, beautiful, with a fierce attitude and a gentle soul.

And Pamela today gives us a very deep interview about Warloom world and her own world.

How was born Warloom and why did you choose this name for your own brand?

Warloom is a fantasy name, inspired by the world of the 50s American circus.

Which is the main source of inspiration for your work?

I draw inspiration from the world of the circus, in constant motion as modern women who inspired me for my creations. The colors of circus are vibrant, there is an air of magic and joy, the world of acrobats and of clowns who are both playful but with a little decadent aura.

Tell us something about your Spring / Summer 2017, which is the concept of the collection?

Is inspired by Canada, to be exact to the Canadian circus and then to the forests and to the typical colors of Fall of that great nation.

What would you like to communicate through your bags? What message would you like to come to the people who decide to wear a Warloom?

The female world is in constantly changing, a woman who is wearing a Warloom bag is both a business woman, a mother and a woman who goes out and amazed and consequently her ideal bag must adapt to every circumstance, be comfortable and, at the same time, has determination and an identity to be shown.

What is the must-have bag of your new collection? The one you could would never live without?

I love Arlette ( the name of the founder of the Gruss circus) in black leather and python rock, a perfect combination of elegance and practicality.

In your imagination, how is the woman who wears your bags?

The Warloom woman is definitely a woman busy on multiple fronts, like social, family, work, traveling and interested in art.

What are the three must-haves for Pamela Rota and the 3 flop? And to what trend you say Yes and No?

I would never give away to Kaftan in Summer, a Warloom leather and python bag and a big hat to be used under the sun. I don’t appreciate look too heavy and built for the Summer, I love the simplicity, in order to give more space to accessories.

Is there is a character in the world of fashion, film, entertainment or in your life who has influenced you the most?

I have worked with worldwide famous designers, like Tom Ford, Armani, I love Uma Thurman who has grit and a strong personality and is so beautiful.

Your collection was welcomed with enthusiasm by the fashion addicts, press and buyers, sanctioning an absolute successful debut. What are your future plans? Do you have a dream you want to become reality?

To this day I consider myself really lucky, because despite the wide competition, Warloom is a brand that has soared in a very deep way in a big panorama as that of fashion accessories, we continue in our plan of opening both multi-brand stores and single-brand. In China we will open two later this year and in the US in Denver a totally avant-garde concept store. My my biggest dream is to ensure that every woman can wear a Warloom bag!

 

Thank you Pamela!

Carolina Ogliaro The World C parka faux fur patch parka with patch Stella Mc Cartney

2017 has just started and for the first time in this moment, I’m not as quite lazy as always. My mind and body are all projected in this new year even if one of my resolutions is to live by now, not thinking to much about the future. I wanna enjoy every single moment to the fullest and I wanna let everything go with the flow.

Did you made some resolutions for this 2017? I have a list of around 20 pages so I’m ready to rock it like never before.

Last Fall/Winter has seen coming on stage ( again!) my obsession with parka and patches. This is one of my favorite, with patches on and comes from Missy Empire. You can find it with black faux-fur like mine and also in white and pink . There are also a version in denim and metallic silver. And they are at 50% off!!

TGIS! ( Thanks God It’s Sale )

Also my Falabella sunglasses by Stella McCartney from RedHotSunglasses are still in stock! I always give you so good news I know.

Christmas Gifts Guide | The Sunglasses edition

Christmas is just around the corner and, like every year, the race to the gifts is already started. For years, I was one of those people who bought gifts at last minute but let me say that this is the worst thing. As to not arrive with empty-hands, sometimes we made due with a non-thought gift that in the end we realize is too banal and impersonal. For a couple of years, I start soon to think about the right gift for my friends and family. What they like, if they prefer a surprise, a necessary item or unnecessary. I love Christmas and I love much more doing gifts to make happy my beloved people that's why I have prepared for you...

Behind me the recently re-opened Ritz, don’t forget to pay a visit as soon as you come to Paris.
