Texturized

Lots of cool textures to see at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair.

Metal(lics) and wood took center stage, 

but there were lots of plastic/acrylic and fabrics as well.

Today is the last day and is open to the general public.

Do you have a favorite?

Metal in Barcelona

If you are a lover of wrought iron or Art Nouveau, 
then Barcelona is the city that you need to visit. 

It is visually stunning. 

Around each corner and down most alleys, you can catch glimpses of the beautiful work that the metalsmiths produced, mainly around the late 1800's.

The Gothic Barcelona Cathedral

Beautiful street light with its charming shape

Perfection!
