You could find posts about Velvet, a cafe in Zagreb, on many blogs:
I visited this cafe a few years ago (check here),
while there was just "WHITE" VELVET, and a shop gallery next to it.
After some time "BLACK" VELVET,
a cafe with more theatrical dark atmosphere,
opened in place of the shop.
Filipa was also thrilled with the cafe, and wanted to show it to her friend,
but it is a non smoking place, so her friend wasn't very keen on having coffee there.
But at the end, she enjoyed the atmosphere so much that she forgot all about cigarettes.
Saša Šekoranja and Dean Franić have designed a lot of hotels and cafes
as well as the houses.
Down here is a room for a young girl (don't know her age).
Filipa's comment:
Oh, I can imagine a little girl playing with Barbie dolls in this inviting bedroom,
or a teenager crying on this lovely kingsize bed,
because her dad doesn't let her put Lady Gagas posters on the dark wall.
A bedroom in the same flat.
Filipa's comment:
Oh, I can imagine myself splashing water around this lovely bedroom,
soaking the antique carpet with water and shampoo and then
exercising on this fitness machine while looking myself in the mirror.
This is Saša's own living room.
As he lives alone, his flat can serve him as a polygon for his creative ideas.
Filipa's comment:
Oh, I can imagine this is my living room. Each time I walk in I ask myself:
Have I , by mistake, walked in Natural History Museum?
Did I put white linen covers over my sofas
last time I visited this place, 2 years ago?
Is it a ghost or a guest sitting on the chair in the next room?
This is Saša's bathroom.
My mother in law has exactly the same looking table in her shed.
If I had seen this picture before,
my bathroom would have looked quite different now!
Filipa's comment:
Just my type of the bathroom.
Screaming faces on the column yelling at me and warning me:
Take off your make up before you go to bed!!!!
Mirror, mirror on the wall,
I can not see my face from the flowers, after all.
Well, Saša is great and
such an original artist!
I will paste a lot more pictures of his work in the following weeks,
