Behind The Scenes

Ever wonder what makes up the inside of a sofa?

Vincon! Barcelona, Paseo de Gracia

Established in 1934, this gift, design, furniture and home goods store is the most inspiring retail establishment I have walked into in at least 10 years. I think I could outfit my entire home with items selected exclusively from this large yet finely curated collection.

Is this a museum or a store?

Its a store...that you want to live in.

Here I think they're just showing off. In addition to having the best football (soccer) team in the world the Barcos are also raising the bar for the rest of us in the design and retail world. If I didn't see it myself I might not believe it was possible.

Vincon today.

Maid Marian 2

Roland Emmerich's gorgeous cruising yacht, Maid Marian 2, was restored to it's original condition when he purchased in 2007. Sparing no expense the Director hand picked deco furnishings and finishes to capture the spirit of this pleasure craft, originally built in 1931.

Once used to store life boats, the top deck has been converted for sunning while seeing the sites of Phuket where it she is currently moored.

Below deck, pieces from Empiric mingle with vintage furnishings and commissioned reproductions seamlessly.

Post refurbishing, the famous director shares his pride and joy with the lucky few who are able to charter such a luxurious ship. Ahh, to dream a little dream....
