2/1/2024 0 Comments The tyranny of terrazzoOnce again, the uncluttered lines of this furniture that came in from the cold offer an embodiment of kindliness, nature, and harmony, which as Vincent Grégoire points out is “the new neutrality.” This norm has been particularly well understood by UK-based, which excels in all things neo-Scandinavian. “If they are there to suggest a jungle,” these leafy friends are also there to compensate for the state of the planet, which has fallen victim to global warming and other uncertainties.Īs for furniture, Scandinavian design continues to reign eternal. A sense of crisis is also the point of departure for what often amounts to a profusion of house plants. Even in small apartments, they tend to favor enormous beds” in which they watch their television series and eat their delivered take-out. And they need it most in their favorite room, which is the bedroom. In short, millennials need their comforts more than ever. Even rugby players have jumped on the bandwagon.” Along with its dominance in interior design, several brands, like Glossier, have seized on it to make it a trademark and signature. “The color has become gender-fluid, and the boys have started to like it. The venerable color-matching service Pantone named rose quartz as its color of the year in 2016, but it is important to remember that pink is no longer girly. It also is kind of evocative of nougat.” The trend forecaster adds that this homemade upcycled aspect is one that is attractive to millennials: “it has a ‘crafty upcycling’ charm, you can make it yourself, and, a bit like a cake in that you can put whatever you want into it.” A homemade spirit combined with Italian splendor that is more than enough to win over young interior design fans.Īs for colors, pink calls the tune. “It is a heavy decorative element, but one that is reassuring. “Terrazzo responds to a demand for new materials, and new mineralities,” explains Vincent Grégoire of Paris-based trend forecasting agency NellyRodi. So how did it become so successful? Is the rise of terrazzo solely driven by marketing magic? Perhaps not. However, the trend for terrazzo is such that it is no longer just a hard building material - it has also provided inspiration for endless speckled prints that have invaded floor coverings, walls, bags, and notebook covers. Swarovski has also created blocks of the material with chips of so-called “second-quality” crystals. Thereafter, it figured large in our grandparents’ kitchens in the 1950s and 1960s, when it was often known as “granito.” By the magic of fashion, around about 2010, it was rechristened terrazzo and went on to become as sought after as it ever had been in times past.Īt its best, terrazzo can inspire creations like the Petit h Hermès tabletops and pendants that Nicolas Daul embedded with lapis lazuli, Sienna marble, jasper, bag jewelry and mother-of-pearl buttons from the famous French house’s collections. In use since antiquity, terrazzo first emerged as a mixture of clay and crushed stone, which, by the time it came to feature in the floors of palaces and cathedrals in Venice, was mainly marble. But anyways thanks so much for the video :-) looking forward to more.First up on the pillory is terrazzo, a floor material that interior design enthusiasts will certainly have taken note of over the last few years. The "Flat Illustration" people are definitely a core part of Canva too lol. IMO a mention of Canva is warranted! The replicable graphics are easy to make using the Canva templates and I think that helps to explain the consistencies. There were definitely a LOT of infographics going around that weren't the Democratic party line and used the same aesthetics. But I think the infographic take needs some more work. First patreon channel i ever subscribed to. Thanks so much for the video :,) Really enjoyed it. I loathe them, but there is that tiny voice of “ok I could see how someone would find this sort of thing helpful” It’s woefully directional, but for many who have experienced this sort of thing-the idea of presenting a quick and dirty “guidebook” is a sort of utilitarian approach to Infographics. An example of this would be “How to navigate an employee transitioning their gender in the workplace.” On ideographics-There’s that 1% percent voice in my head, aware that I agree with most of what’s presented here, some Infographics represent the collective rule book of otherwise “marginalized” groups. How am I supposed to work for a tech company now? ugh! This literally made me burst into tears spontaneously One day we'll look back on the flatlanders and want to return Thank you for expressing this with such clarity and precision as to make me upset The montage at the end was a painful experience.

We were interviewed on national television RAI, had a carabinieri police escort and tour bus, and appeared in Rolling Stone Italian edition, and about a dozen national newspapers and magazines. When I’m in my rocking chair and have forgotten most everything else, I will probably remember making music.” Christina SevillaĬhuck Leavell and Christina Sevilla Photo courtesy of SP Biggest thanks to my husband Steve for all the support and carrying heavy amps around town. And my bandmates Tim, Tom, Bryan and Josh are like the brothers I never had. The best part is sharing these concert experiences with hundreds of friends and the strong community we have developed over the years, so many good memories. Highlights for me have been singing Dancing Queen for Queen Silvia of Sweden, playing keyboard alongside Rolling Stones keyboardist Chuck Leavell on Jumping Jack Flash at the White House Correspondents Jam, and singing an original song I wrote with bassist Tim Burger in a castle arena in Italy on national television! I was also excited to play guitar for the first time at our 15th anniversary show at Madam’s Organ. ![]() “ Suspicious Package is proof that stranger things have happened! None of us had ever been in a rock band, and I would never have imagined starting one as an adult playing keyboard and singing - much less the incredible experiences we have had over the past 15 years playing many Ambassador’s Residences, Nationals Ballpark, an aircraft carrier in New York City and more. We play to the best of our abilities, but our focus has always been to connect with the audience and try to get everyone to have a great time.” We share lead vocals equally among the four singers and everyone contributes song suggestions. It is the nature of bands to break up and we have had some titanic battles over matters great and tiny, yet we endure. “I turned our DC basement into a music room, asked Christina, Tim and Bryan to come play with us and the rest is history. It turns out it suited me, but it still took about a million hours of practicing,” team member Tom Toles told Hollywood on the Potomac regarding how he ended up in the band. “When Josh Meyer asked me if I could play the drums, I said sure! I thought ‘How hard could it be?’ I borrowed an electronic kit from my cousin and started to teach myself.
