Zerofootprint

Picture 3-4

Zerofootprint is a not-for-profit that combines the best financial engineering, environmental engineering, social networking tools and business intelligence to create products and services that help large corporations, organizations and individuals significantly reduce their environmental footprint.

" Our Mission

Zerofootprint started with an idea about ideas.

If future generations blame us for not responding adequately to the converging crises of this century, it won’t be because we didn’t have any good ideas at our disposal. It will be because we didn’t do anything about them.

Zerofootprint’s mission is to change the world by helping people reduce their environmental footprint. Our goal is to provide a forum for the massive and growing, but mostly unconnected majority of people – whether they think of themselves as citizens or businesspeople, parents or consumers, activists or theorists—who want to do the right thing.

Action is impossible without information. We are forging a community where those who have it can share it with those who are looking for it, and where those who can offer direction will come into contact with those who need it.

Zerofootprint: getting good ideas off the drawing board and into the world."

Made in Italy - Food & Stories by Giorgio Locatelli

made in italy

Dsc01800

Some month ago I bought locatellis new cook book because Nigel Slater was so enthusiastic about it. He called it the best italian cook book ever! So I had to have it. Of course I did not find to much time to cook from it so far, but I did read it and I love it. It's full of lovely stories about his family and  the italian way of life. It is also a very nice book, full of beautiful pictures. If you are into italian kitchen and into nice cook books in general I highly recommend it.

Vynil Surfaces

Every now and again one stumbles on a ingenious product. This does not happen to often though.
When I saw the concept of Vynil Surfaces for the first time I immediately  knew that this is an ingenious product.

Vynil, an alternative to wallpaper", literally passes into the hands of the end users, who, invited to transform their interiors into an area where they can express themselves, become the creators of their own setting.

Thanks to Vynil, the "wall space" becomes the field for a game of composition and narration into which a lot of effort and inventiveness can be put. Beyond its practical interest (no need for paste or a papering table), the Vynil collection makes it possible to think again about the place and the role of ornaments and decoration in our interiors.

We sell them in our shop now and I had the opportunity to "install" several - they really look as great as they do on the picture. If you have very craggy walls they might not stick enough. And don't think they leave no marks once you take them away, they are like wallpaper and probably you have to repaint the wall after taking a vynil of.
