Technicolor Twinkle Toes. Embroidery on Vintage Photos of Dancers.

Now living and working in Berlín, Chilean-born Jose Romussi formally studied landscape design when growing up, but over the past few years has gained a significant following for his screen prints and collages in which he combines vintage black and white photographs with colorful forms of embroidery.



In this series, Dance, the supernatural power of dancers and their poses and movements inspire him with their precision and elegance. Romussi brings these pictures back to life with bright vibrant colors, underlining the dynamic of these frozen movements. With each new line of embroidery he invites the viewer to dream with him and to experience each subject's hidden vitality.

Charlotte Lancelot's Canevas Furniture & Rug Collection Combines Craft With Sophistication.

Looking for unique furniture that is modern, comfortable and oozing with craftsmanship?




The new Canevas collection of cushions, soft poufs, modular poufs and rugs by Charlotte Lancelot for GAN Rugs, a division of Gandia Blasco, utilizes the designer's penchant for felted embroidery and cross-stitching.



The collection, which is simultaneously fun and sophisticated, includes three rugs (floral, verte and rosa), soft poufs, modular poufs and cushions. The abstracted felted wool cross-stitching gives the pieces a a handmade look without appearing like 'crafts.'
