SYMBOLPLUS OFFICE—When restraint suddenly feels luxurious
There are places that don’t clamor for attention.They simply exist. Calm. Confident. And precisely for that reason, they linger. I remember my first visit to an old timber building in Tokyo. No glamour, no spectacle—just a quiet clarity that instantly tells you: this is where work happens, where ideas are formed, where decisions are made. That exact feeling is what SYMBOLPLUS OFFICE brings back—and translates into the present. In the heart of Tokyo, the design studio SYMBOLPLUS INC. has reimagined its workspace. Not as a showroom, not as an Instagram backdrop, but as an honest place to work. A bold move in an era where even coffee machines are styled…

Cristina García Atelier—Maximalist minimalism with a vision for the future
There are rooms that you enter—and rooms that welcome you. Cristina García‘s studio clearly belongs to the second category. Anyone who walks through the door here immediately senses that this is no ordinary showroom. It is a manifesto. Quiet, elegant, self-assured. And full of subtle wow moments. Classic futurism instead of short-lived trends The style of this studio cannot be summed up in a single keyword. And that is precisely what makes it so exciting.

There are places that are more than just four walls and a bar. Places where life comes together. Voices, smells, memories. The Taberna Convento in El Viso del Alcor in Sevilla is just such a place. A center in the best sense of the word. A meeting place, a transit point, an observation post. This is where paths cross: women on their way to mass, children with dusty knees and a ball under their arms, and couples taking slow strolls through warm summer nights. Lemon ice cream, orange blossoms, a quick stop at the bar. Everything fits in here. Really everything. What makes this tavern so special is not its…

Slow living in Empordà – a house that whispers quiet luxury
There are houses that impress. And there are houses that calm. This one clearly belongs to the second category—and that’s accurately why it sticks in your mind. In the heart of Empordà, the Catalan landscape that shaped Salvador Dalí, a retreat has been created that doesn’t preach slow living, but lives it. Designed by architect Damián Ribas and curated by D’Aussy Interiors, this house is not a showpiece for Instagram but a home for real days, real breaks, and real life. A home between everyday life and retreat The owners live between Barcelona and Girona, thus demonstrating a balancing act that many are familiar with. The idea: a place where…

Krume bakery in Panama – where bread meets architecture
I’ve seen a lot of bakeries. Some want to be urban-cool, others smell wonderfully of nostalgia and rye. But then Krume bakery came along. And I thought: Wow. This isn’t a bakery, it’s a manifesto. A place that doesn’t just sell bread, but attitude – architecturally composed, with a deep awareness of sustainability and local craftsmanship. And yes, we are talking about a bakery in Panama City. With Austrian roots. Sounds like a culinary-architectural plot twist? It is. And that’s exactly why Krume bakery is now our new interior crush. A room made of earth – literally. Let’s start with what immediately catches the eye: the walls and bar are…
