Not only Italian but also Scandinavian design!!!
From a scruffy depressing interiors we have created the very first HEJ Coffee Academy!
Located in a beautiful historic building in Bermondsey Square, London, this amazing new concept is bringing the best Swedish coffee for us all to taste!
HEJ is using Löfbergs Fairtrade coffee from Sweden and creates the most amazing cappuccino, latte and espresso!
The interiors have been designed by www.arcitetturamcmm.com located in Cambridgeshire. The overall idea was to recreate a Scandinavian log cabin feel by using timber not only on the floors but on the walls too. The feature wall displays wonderful light timber elements, a cozy fireplace and Eric, our quirky moose head coming all the way from America!
The table tops have been made by artist Adam Fairweather using recycled coffee beans. Scandinavian chairs and stools, mostly in white, black and red have been selected from Skandium catalogue.
Artwork and canvases will soon appear on HEJ white walls! Upcoming talented artists will display their works here! Stay tuned!!
The serving area reflects the overall Scandinavian concept. Clean lines, wood, linear details. The floor behind the serving area is red! Fantastic contrast with the light timber floor of the seating area!
The best and most intriguing space is actually in the basement. HEJ Coffee is not just an amazing coffee shop but it is most importantly an Academy. HEJ Baristas will be trained by their own coffee experts teaching all about coffee, methods and origins.
Fancy a cuppa! HEJ is your best Scandinavian spot in town!!

Light, spacious,
relaxing, cozy.. That's what you really want for your bedroom!
But what about
style..?!? How to get that luxurious atmosphere..?!?
Currently working on
an apartment refurbishment in Essex UK and I'm sketching away options and ideas
for my clients' master bedroom.
First of all a massive
bed is what you really want and make sure you have at least four pillows if not
more for extra comfort and luxury.
Choose light and clean
pattern for your duvet and bedding. You want to be able to calm down and relax
in your bedroom. White, ecru, light grey, cream and sandy tones..
Light is so important!
Allow as much natural light in the room. Keep your curtains open and maybe add
a voile for privacy..
A magnificent floor
lamp next to a comfortable armchair by the window is the ideal spot for
reading, pamper yourself or simply relaxing.
Cleverly positioned
LED spotlights will give your bedroom a magical atmosphere. Choose a warm light
and play with the dimmer to balance the perfect tone of light you want.
A simple floating
shelf instead of the standard bedside table will add more room around your bed.
Plus, bedside tables are generally full of clutter!
A sliding doors large
wardrobe is the ideal solution. You can have a chest of drawers built in it, mirrors,
hangers, hooks and baskets. You want to be able to move and store all your
clothes and shoes quite easily just by pulling that sliding quite door..
Finally, make sure you
use your bedroom not just for sleeping! Relax, have a tête-à-tête with your
partner, play with your kids, do your nails, make-up.. Whatever gets you away
from the daily stress!
Enjoy your bedroom!!
Ciao!

I have recently been invited by Anglia Ruskin University in Cambridge to give a talk and advice during Creative Fronts which took place last month.
The event consisted in a series of talks and one-to-one sessions which would help students and graduates to understand how to set up and run a business in the creative industries.
The creative industries have long been an overlooked sector in
Cambridgeshire!
Creative Fron in association with Anglia Ruskin University have created the
network because they believe that if everyone in the creative sector got
together, a powerful community of individuals and organisations would
form!
My presentation to students and graduates focused on the importance of being visible and social media when starting up a business. Learning
how to use social media for marketing, to benefit your business and enhance your
reputation is an asset that all entrepreneurs should have.
- How to use Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to increase your visibility with potential client?
- How my practice won work using social media as marketing tool?
- How you can use LinkedIn to create your powerful network of collaborators?
In addition I have discussed what our practice looks for when hiring new talent, which applies to
other sectors as well. In
2011 I founded MCMM Architettura Ltd, an Interior Design and
Architectural practice which is generating success and satisfaction for me but most importantly for my clients.
If you wish to know more about the presentation or about our business, please do get in touch! Happy to answer all your questions and enquiries!
Ciao!

Have you ever heard of Ecobuild..?!?
It is a fantastic construction event and the world's largest
show for sustainable design and the built environment.
Last week I visited the show at Excel in London and I was
amazed by the amount of new and exciting technologies that have been presented.
It is fantastic to witness the extraordinary change in the build
environment where everything is down to energy, consumption and future.
The highlight of this year event is the strong use of natural
materials rather than artificially manufactured products. Or at least those
structures are the elements I am more intrigued by. The effort we are making as architects,
designers and builders to work with nature and the changing climate it is now
extremely impressive. Green wall, timber structures, stones and marbles. Everything
is becoming sustainable, organic and more natural. We are practically going
back to the origins implementing an extraordinary level of knowledge. All so
exciting!
Few years back I have been involved in the development of a
new concept for office/space design and sustainability! Amazing ideas which I still
strongly share and implement into my designs. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ79zmsh1OI
At the end of the month, Shanghai is hosting Ecobuild and later in May, Ecobuild is flying to Mumbai! I wish I could visit those shows too!
Ciao!

Working away for some Italian clients living in Cambridge and they do want
everything made and manufactured in Italy!
I must admit they have good taste!
I am reorganising the internal layout and I will try to make teh most of the
bedroom space by incorporating a stunning piece of furniture from Italy.
Italian wardrobes are generally very large and very tall. You can not only
store a lot of clothes and accessories but you can display your best items and
easily pick what you want to wear. It is a tiny luxury but it makes the start
of your day so much better!
The quality is superb, great finishes and gorgeous materials. Versatile
and extremely beautiful. You won’t need much else in your bedroom or
walk-in-closet.
A large choice of styles, sizes, shapes and materials. I have selected a few options
for my clients which I am more than happy to share with you all!
Feel free to contact me for more information.
I can forward you more
details/catalogues/reference and why not, ideas!
Ciao
