EL MAR
On the top floor of El Corte Inglés in Lisbon is El Mar, the new restaurant by chef Kiko Martins. A space where the interior design becomes a story, inviting us to navigate between the Portuguese coast and the shores of Rio de Janeiro, in a visual and emotional tribute to the chef's roots, a mixture of Portugal and Brazil.

The project, signed by Alejandro Cateto and his studio Cateto Cateto, builds a sensitive and enveloping scenography. From the patterns of the cushions, which evoke the curves of the Carioca beaches, to the tiles - with their characteristic range of whites and blues - that anchor the Portuguese memory, each element articulates a flu...

Walking Fish
LZF Lamps, the Spanish company specializing in wood veneer lighting, presented its new Life-Size Ltd Edition Collection at Euroluce in Milan, from 14th to 19th April. This collection of sculptural pieces is born out of the desire of LZF Lamps’ founders, Mariví Calvo and Sandro Tothill, to collaborate and innovate via daring projects with artists and craftsmen of different disciplines.
The story of the Life-Size Collection started a few years ago when Mariví and Sandro had been studying a new way of diffusing light through the use of overlapping rectangular squares of wood veneer.. They then put on a show using illuminated walls made up of over 4000 pieces of wood. The effect of these walls reminded them of the scales of a fish, hence the d... More

Koi | huge carp made of light and wood
Koi is a huge carp made of light and wood, a spectacular light structure, half-lamp, half-sculpture.
The inspiration for this wonderful idea came from an interlacing wood system and the transparencies it produced when lit. The system, consisting in the overlaying of wooden slats as if they were fish scales, is called the “Koi Fabric”, and was used for making iluminated walls.
The result is a stunning handcrafted piece measuring more than three metres from head to tail. Koi consists of a wooden frame, constructed using traditional Valencian carpentry techniques, which supports the skin made of dozens of small wood veneer pieces.
