Alexa: play “Under My Chandelier” (mashup of Rihanna’s “Umbrella” vs Sia’s “Chandelier”) ☔️

‘Reservoir' is a RAINWATER-COLLECTION INSTALLATION by @johngradestudio - and by that, I mean incredible.

Suspended among the trees, the sculpture consists of an accumulation of five thousand delicate droplets, mimicing an elaborate chandelier. Each droplet, individually heat-formed and encased in steam-bent wood, is attached to one of two clear filament nets. As rainwater or snow accumulates in the droplets, the position and profile of the nets lowers and shifts. As the collected water evaporates, the shape softens and returns to its original state.

Designer @reisingerandres blurs the lines between reality and his imagination in his digital installation “Take Over”. The project gives a ‘glow up’ to number of unremarkable buildings across the globe outfitting the facades with textured pink fabric.

Oh What A Night ✨

Last weekend was spent toasting our head honcho, our kingpin, our top dog - the ultimate girl boss, KB - as she celebrated a big birthday milestone! Take a sneak peek at her swanky shindig held at @carondelethouse and see how Kristin partied like a rockstar!

Special thanks to the team who helped create the magic: @rjackbalthazar @katieedwardsphoto @lightenup_inc @treslacatering @carondelethouse @invisibletouchevents @luxuryentertainmentgroup

Nothin’ But A Good Time! This 80s throwback party captured a special nod to the sunset strip, hair bands and the iconic clubs where it all went down. Go BTS on our website for a deeper look into this birthday bash that ‘shook us all night long’. 🎸

Inspired by the hotel’s panoramic views of Busan’s gorgeous beaches, this design features variations of the ocean’s blue hues paired with monochromatic florals offering the perfect combination of sophistication and elegance.

Head to our website to view all of the stunning details!

So lit!!! Artist @studio.drift used illuminating drones to create life-size structures that demonstrate how the Sagrada Familia, the Colosseum, and other landmarks would look like complete. They can also use this technology to help visualise how new structures will impact and add to current skylines.

Take Me To Church 🛹

This century-old abandoned church in Spain became a different place of worship when it was transformed into a bold, colorful indoor skate park, reborn as “The Church of Skate”. We think it is sick.🤟🏼 @la_iglesiaskate @churchbrigade #inspo
