ZÀCCHETE
ZÀCCHETE is a very very new brand. We are happy to announce ZÀCCHETE on our blog. Antonella, designer of the brand and mum of 2, told us the beautiful story behind this super idea. And we fell completely in love! ZÀCCHETE is a body underwear for newborn simple and innovative, which sums up the need for daily practicality in a simple gesture.
The movement of the closure from the crotch to the belly allows the body to grow with the child and greater practicality in use. Free of automatics, it can be used by those who want or need to remove the metal of their children's underwear...or they simply find uncomfortable the classic buttons.

VILLA WALALA BY CAMILLE WALALA
Look how amazing is this landmark project for London Design Festival 2017: Villa Walala by Camille Walala is a boisterously colourful and invitingly soft-touch structure made from ‘blocks’ of vinyl, sealed PVC inners and highstrength nylon, adorned with Walala’s characteristic digitally printed patterns. The blocks will be inflated by fans, turning them from flat shapes into three-dimensional forms. They are the component parts of a huge architectural landscape that stops passers-by in their tracks and invites them to step away from the everyday, even if just for a moment. Very cool!
