Vilma is a vertical display cabinet composed of two modules: a drawer unit covered with rattan fiber and a storage cabinet with solid huanacaxaxtle wood doors and glass shelves. The back of the cabinet is lined with mirror, which provides greater visual depth.
The drawers of the cabinet open easily by means of a push system. At the base, the cabinet is supported on four legs turned from solid huanacaxaxtle wood. The doors open with a pair of carbon steel pulls.
During the experimentation process, they discovered a texture formed by vertical stripes generated by striking the wood with the head of a metal file. They decided to apply this technique to create a captivating weave on Ramon's doors. In addition, the weave of the body leaves the corners exposed, giving rise to a peculiar elbow shape that stands out from the rest of the furniture.
Comité de Proyectos is an interior and furniture design firm founded in 2014 by Andrea Flores and Lucía Soto in Mexico City. They study the relationship between people and spaces making an x-ray of the lives of their clients in each project to offer an aesthetic proposal and a set of spatial solutions that promote the dynamics of integration between individuals and the spaces to be inhabited.
Their objects are divided in two: products and collection. Products are those that arise from the specific needs of a project. The collection objects are the result of a work of reflection and aesthetic search. They think of design as a cultural conductor and it is in the collection objects that they find a space to communicate what motivates them.

I have always believed that any relationship is more about yourself than others because you are nothing, you are not, without your relationships. Usually, it is a mix of time and self-discovery that leads to forgiveness and having difficult or emotionally tiring conversations with people.
I don't know why sometimes things end up messy and I catch onto shared feelings, usually a cachéd behavior and lack of communication.
The last time I experienced forgiveness was when after much distance, I finally called A*****. It was poignant for me because it signalled self-forgiveness as well as more of an internal moving on for me, from my hurt and acceptance that some things would not be understood on her part and I had to take that.
Last night, me and the friend in question right now, chatted along the Canal St. Martin and I sobbed uncontrollably.
Life is really a piece of work sometimes. Forgiveness and generosity are the hardest things to do, and I admire the people in my life who have shown me how to accomplish even a little amount of both these.

I loved the exhibition which presented Madame Grès and Azzedine Alaïa's pieces in conversation. This bit of the exhibition text struck a note:
"When you find something that is personal and unique," said Madame Gres, "you must make the fullest possible use of it, pursuing its realisation wichout stopping until the end." Alaia echoed her words years later: "When an idea comes into your mind, you must capture it with a lasso and circle around it relentlessly."
I liked how they saw couture as sculpture and I wondered if I should experiment with the sewing machine next. Something I am already considering. The place itself was small but lovely, with one of the most beautifu, cosy and quiet terrasses I have seen in a while, and well populated only by fashionable folks. Something similar to something I should open in Karachi, with artist studios upstairs perhaps. Grès' photographs of her dresses worn also touched me. I wonder how much of capturing imagination is image creation, and if this is a sign I should start experimenting with film now that I have an array of lenses from M. Chacha.
Grès' story was also remarkable to me because of her true love for creation and art, and how she just opened a storefront and did not follow fashion week calenders. I wonder if I should too, just buy a storefront here and start my own thing, like Nazish and I were discussing on Saturday evening.

This was a gamble for me to do, especially on a piece that I'm liking so far, but in a bout of late-night risk-taking mood, I decided to layer the fabric with transparent gesso. I didn't dilute with water or stretch the fabric better, just going at it with gusto. Now dried, it looks and feels fantastic. The oilstick and pastel feels mummified. I can't wait to go in with washy oil paint on top.
