A concept to love: growing food right in your own kitchen.
This innovation is from the company Natufia which offers the ability to grow produce right in your own kitchen with their integrated system. An aesthetically well designed unit can be incorporated into your kitchen design, with pods and plants to choose from, growing in an automated environment. Once produce is ready to harvest, you can pick - just as you would from a garden.

The units are designed of high-grade stainless steel and ceramics for durability and aesthetics. The compact component can merge seamlessly with your kitchen design. In addition, Natufia is sustainable and environmental friendly. There is no packaging, waste, or logistics.
There are thirty-two pods available and plenty of room for larger plants with robust automatics to maintain the perfect environment. Having food harvested right before consuming provides unparalleled freshness and taste with all nutrients, vitamins, and minerals. An undeniable luxury: fresh food year round, no seasons or weather changes. Additionally, the produce is grown from the highest quality Demeter seeds without pesticides, herbicides, or fungicides.

Charging and power outlets for built-in closets are a convenient way to charge up the gadgets that make their way to your closet and also items like running watches that are stored there.

“Discover tomorrow’s trends today” - In cooperation with Heimtextil, international design and trend experts have analyzed the latest trend themes that will be shown in an extravagant presentation at the Heimtextil trade show taking place January 7-10th in Frankfurt, Germany. In addition, this year the focus is on the topic of sustainability. I’m looking forward to attending and covering the upcoming fair for the very first time and especially excited to be there for the celebration and party for the show’s 50th anniversary!
This year’s theme, “WHERE I BELONG” addresses layered identities via the five diverse Heimtextil 20/21 trends. MAXIMUM GLAM turns the glamorous life tech-savvy, PURE SPIRITUAL finds balance in nature and mysticism, ACTIVE URBAN values utilitarian, adaptable solutions, whereas HERITAGE LUX celebrates rich historical legacies and MULTI-LOCAL embraces global cultural influences.
Establishing five worlds as spaces to experience, the Trend Space will also showcase 2D visualisations from the book as 3D spaces. Conceptual installations will actively engage visitors and motivate them to share their experiences by creating dynamic settings all about performance and interaction. For Trend Space, designers have committed themselves to a new material manifesto to conserve resources and promote sustainability.

Dupuis, founded in 1973, creates an experience where the language of artisanal and contemporary Mexican design unite in absolute harmony, redefining interior spaces and exuding Mexican modernism in its purest essence. Their philosophy is based on constant evolution within innovative design while never losing the Dupuis style.
The Becara brand is a lively and eclectic collection of accent furniture and home accessories founded in 1964. It is inspired in part by the original decorative antiques sourced worldwide for its first retail store in Madrid. Becara has grown to be one of the leading European companies in design, manufacturing, and distribution of furniture, home fabrics and interior design accessories for the home.
Back in the 60s in Spain, Becara’s founder Begoña Zunzunegui recognized an opportunity in the wholesale business of home decor and gifts. Inheriting exquisite taste from her family and knowledge of international markets, she focused her efforts on developing a virtually nonexistent market in Spain. She pioneered and was an integral collaborator of renowned wholesale fairs in Spain such as The Intergift Furniture Fair of Valencia, Expohogar in Barcelona, and The Furniture Fair in Madrid.
During the 80s, Becara as a brand forged into international markets and exhibited at the most prominent fairs in Europe: Salon du Meuble de Paris, Ambiente and Tendence in Frankfurt, Abitare il Tempo in Verona, Maison & Objet in Paris, Salone del Mobili Milan. Becara’s presence would exponentially increase as exports to 40 countries around the world set it apart. In 2000, Becara began its retail expansion, opening its first flagship store in Madrid.
From that moment on, Becara set the stage where wholesale and retail activities overlapped, expanding further in Spain as well as international markets such as Bogota, Casablanca, Lisbon, Mexico, and most recently, Miami in the Design District in the US.
Founded in 1973, Dupuis is an iconic, award-winning Mexican design and interiors brand that for decades has remained a pioneering influence in the Mexican market. Today, with more than 45 years in the luxury furnishings and interior design business, Dupuis is poised to promote Mexican modernism in its purest essence on an international scale.
Dupuis was started to offer furnishings and accessories with a distinctive style, creating an experience where the language of artisanal and contemporary Mexican design come together in harmony. The philosophy is based on constant evolution within innovative design while never losing the essence of the Dupuis style.
For more than four decades, Dupuis has been dedicated to the advancement of design, manufacturing, and distribution of furniture as well as home textiles and decorative objects in collaboration with Mexican artisans. Carefully selected designers and suppliers collaborate to create unique and unmatched pieces of quality and aesthetics.
The interiors of the new Miami Design District store featuring both the Becara and Dupuis collections.
If you’re in the Miami Design District, check out the Dupuis and Becara collections at 4100 NE 2nd Avenue, Suite 105, Miami, FL 33137.

I love learning about this history of what goes into making something, whether it’s art, furniture, or in this instance, pottery. Pottery Avenue is a distributor for the finest Polish Pottery Stoneware. The history of manufacturing pottery goes back to 14th century Boleslawiec when a layer of ceramic clay was uncovered, thus beginning the folk art in the German province of Silesia now known as Boleslawiec, Poland. There, the main avenue is a “pottery avenue”, home to many factory outlet stores. Pottery Avenue imports from the original manufacture of the town, knowing the pottery is of the finest quality and adheres to business practices that lead the industry. Below are some examples of the vast line that Pottery Avenue showcases on their website.
A hand painted vase using non-toxic colors in a botanical pattern.
A 12-cup canister hand painted in Poland following a 750-year tradition of artistry.
This hand stamped pitcher uses a centuries old technique using sponges from the Baltic sea and each motif is skillfully cut into the sponge for a hand stamp application.
This colorful mug is made with a chemical free colored glaze.
A classic 10” quiche-pie dish. Also each piece from can cook up to 500 degrees and is one of the best for baking with the thermal transfere inherent in stoneware and the glaze is naturally nonstick so food releases and it is easy to clean.
Pottery Avenue also carries a line of very popular embossed rolling pins - like the Givinchy above.
One of the very popular patterns is the Butterfly Merry Making as displayed on this 2 quart stoneware pitcher.
Currently in the “exclusive web offer” category, this large bakers bowl is now on sale.
Full piece dinnerware sets are also available. Above is the Unikat pattern, applied using sponges in the century old technique known as hand stamp but also brushes to add depth and additional character. Each piece is signed on the bottom and stamped with Unikat.
