Copper addict

The current modern design addiction: copper. With a range of hue that goes from salmon color to chocolate brown or even a gray-green wasted style. The copper is a material that can be recycled infinite times without losing its performance. With timeless beauty in his color and texture,  the copper provides different types of helpful use.

Designers and company, studios like Tom Dixon, Copper (Cu ID), Hay, have been experimenting the work-ability of the material, and the results are as eclectic as elegant and fashionable. The copper can be easily polished and look bright again, its durability and versatility makes it attractive to all designers and architects.

Find some great items made by copper along with “The tangled heart” necklaces from the SEFHYIR+’ up-cycling collection (Cabinet de Curiosité)  below.

New Year Party is just in 6 days.

Finally it has arrived, the party of the year, the last one might be the best. The night will be shinning bright either because of your outfit , the disco ball or the stars.

As is the last big golden party of the 2015 it has to be wild and it has to be chic. Your night might not get as crazy as the 54 studio’s parties of the 80’s, and not as perfect as the Gatsby’s, but you can find yourself in the line between those two, that’s our wild and chic way to do it.

This is life, and we have a lifestyle. Live it, a year has gone by and another good one is about to come, go for it, and let the 2016 found you at your best. Hands up, smile on.

Isola- Pilooski

“Isola” the musical project made by Pilooski.

Like a musical meditation, stories and thoughts are unveiled in mystic sounds. A deep but relax ambient with four tracks is Isola.

Pilooski, real named Cédric Marszewski, is a  french DJ who’s known for always finding inspiration on past records. Pilooski has been the man in charge of the mixes for some Adidas advertising campaigns, and music supervisor for brands like Hermès . This time, I’m specifically recommending you “Isola” , which was influenced by a time capsule made in the 1930’s and the radio broadcasts for the insomniacs .

Isola is striking to the ears, the four readers in the mixes are Jarvis Cocker (musician, songwriter, actor) on the English reading, Judah Warsky -with his own writing in Spanish,  Narumi Herisson reads from the Japanese story “In the Forest, Under Cherries in Full Bloom which was written in 1947, and at the end French words to our ears with Liberati’s 113 studies of Romantic Literature.

These are little fragments from The Film Score Composer (Judah Warsky) of his Spanish writing:

Me acuerdo de cosas que no viví con una precisión que me asusta.

Tengo que escoger entre el sol y el agua, el sol que da vida y el agua que la mantiene.

No fumo como si fuera inocuo si no como si fuese benéfico.

El poeta siempre tiene razón pero no siempre tiene lectores.

I remember things i didn’t live so precise that it scares me.

I have to choose between  the sun and the water, the sun that gives us life and the water, which supports it.

The poet is always right, but not always has readers.

Unquestionably unique, says the “Juno” review. There’s nothing left to do but hear and lose ourselves in this exotic and minimalist piece: https://soundcloud.com/pski/sets/isola

Sexy skin.

Like a moulting of the skin, a necessary change. Sometimes we need a “skin scape” to stay good on the inside and filled on harmonious energy. There’s a sensuous thing when we mentally grow up, the way we look in the outside makes us attractive by the stories we carry on with.

The skinscape scarf story has lots of hidden secrets, inspired by the mirage founded on the various shapes of the mountain, a leaping dragon skin was taken to create this luxurious silk and cashmere piece of 85*165 cm.

Certainly there are times that leave us vulnerables, as if by a moment we were naked,  but then we arise, and inadvertently we’ve changed, we’ve moulted to a second skin: the skinscape scarf.

There’s something sensuous on your skin.

The merriest party of the year.

Christmas is getting closer.

Hell yeah!, or should we say “Heaven yeah”?!. It’s time to think in all our loved ones, and prepare us to spend a pleasant warming moment with them. And if family and friends are about to gather around, we should do something special for them.

Everyone loves parties, yes they do. Therefore i’d like to share with you some ideas you can take to have a lovely yet stylish Xmas.

First, the environment. Let’s decor everything with a theme: the white/frozen wonderland. Have we talked about the power that white has? Your place would look like a magical place. White looks always elegant and classy; don’t worry about if it will be too much white, guests will add the color to the party.

Besides the karaoke machine you’d have to order, and the Christmas carols that can be played at beginning of the party, why don’t you try hiring a violinist for two hours?, pure good music will add sparkle to the night.

The food is really important, but the dessert is our Santa Claus. It definitely has to be sweet, fat and adorable, if you were worried about “all white-decor” here the red velvet can be your best ally. There are lots of ideas of how to decor x-mas dessert and food so go cook them.. or order them.

And then… gifts! Yes we love them, you can’t control what you’ll get but you can give the best ones. Check our latest gift set for boys and girls on Polyvore and Instagram (@sefhyir) and get inspired.

Get a photo boot and have that cliche Xmas family picture. If you want it to be funny try using props, invite your niece and nephew in the morning, together you can make a DIY frame for the pictures. Also a instant picture can be very stylish and lovely, get that instant camera and have your vintage Xmas picture. Everybody will have a special photo to take to home.

After singing, eating and loving (or hating-ups!) your gift exchange, in the biggest room of you house, prepare a special cozy place with pillows and blankets on the floor and watch a x-mas movie- you can use a projector for this. Put some cookies beside the pillows and invite everyone to lay down. To add some fun, bring some cocktails, hot chocolate for the kids, and ask them to have a drink every time someone says “Christmas” in the movie.

At the end, before they go to sleep tell them to find their sock with their name on the tree with chocolate truffle or something sweet inside. Whatever comes next, doesn’t matter because so far you’ve made everything fun and lovely.

Start planning, the holiday is to spread our love to those in our heart. This time is a literal “Thanks God” it’s X-mas time ;)

Celebrating since Day Zero.

A festival that seems to be mythical. The idea: a “maya” land that fills itself of pure techno house music talent. This is a festival that wants to make feel the jungle Mexican all the good dancing, positive vibes and music.

Whit spaces the most natural possible to make some yoga, participate in Mayan ceremonies, stargazing, swimming! and twenty four hours of music is DAY ZERO at Playa del Carmen Mexico. Daniel Lazarus,Dj and label owner of Crosstown Rebels has combined the house techno with a culture  that dates back to the prehispanic times in Latin-America, the Maya culture.

Day zero is a festival that takes the audience to a place of music and expression, to connect with the inner-self and the nature to the beat of the dancing movements. The festival has taken place in Playa del Carmen since December 2012. Combined to the confusion generated about the maya calendar, the “long count” that these people used to measure time and that apparently represented the end of a cycle and for many others announced the world-ending, Lazarus just decided to throw a party in the celebration that we’re still in this beautiful, mysterious and diverse planet. Thus, with the name of “Day Zero” (which was pointed by the mayan people to be on August 12, year 3113 b.C ), started a festival that is about to have its fourth edition on the 2016.

“We created Day Zero to commemorate the apocalypse, the end of the Mayan Calendar and now that the world is still intact we gather each year to celebrate life, friendship and love at one of the most surreal, beautiful and thrilling settings on the planet” Damian Lazarus

While the line-up and exact location in the Mexican paradise for the 2016 is still unknown, the organizing team has previously select artists like Fur Coat, Metrika, Totally Enormous Extinct Dinosaurs, Citizen, Ali Love, DJ Three and Acid Pauli.

The cosmos above, feet all covered by sand, the deep-blue water near, that and more is DAY ZERO.
