We get often asked the question of where we get our inspiration from. Welcome back to Our Top 5 Findings this week where will give you some insights of a few internet readings we pick every two weeks. They’re not Interior Design related only, but cover a wider array of fields. We hope you’ll find it interesting.
ART
1// Blurring the line between real and fake, art and design
Have you ever heard about Pataphysics? Honestly, we did not. This is a philosophy that gives credence to that which exists even beyond the metaphysical realm — in other words, the imaginary, the irrational, and the unreal and has inspired artists such as Marcel Duchamp to Groucho Marx.

ARCHITECTURE
5// Málaga apartments designed “as if sculpted from clay”
You know by now that everything related to Barcelona and Spain in general, for obvious reasons, always draws our attention.This is why we had a further look at architecture bureau Muñoz Miranda Architects which has been designing the New Brick Tectonic. It looks like clay, it is not, but only the idea is already interesting, even more if the intention is to rejuvenate a post-industrial seaside strip on the Mediterranean coast in Málaga.
