MOSTRA UNLTD 2º ED.
When I was invited to collaborate with Portobello, I remembered the trips to London in the 70’s and the famous Portobello Road Market. Fifty years later, our mood gets romantic again, missing the smooth side of design, re-invented by white ceramics and crystal vases. Due to the pandemic, people have moved to the country. This tendency has generated the need for rural and romantic indoor areas, with floors textured in wood, wainscoting and farm tables coated in marble, interpreted in slabs or embedded with tiles, which can be found even in fireplaces. Such idyllic atmosphere invites us to bake some bread, handle flowers and fabric, and express creativity. We all hope the best is yet to come, in a slower pace and in a more fulfilled life.
