At Ambiente, I was captivated by Lübech Living's exquisite paper designs. Their OOhh Collection masterfully blends Scandinavian aesthetics with sustainability, featuring handcrafted pieces made from recycled materials. Each design tells a story of eco-conscious elegance, transforming humble paper into artful home décor. Lübech Living's commitment to responsible craftsmanship and innovative design truly sets them apart in the world of luxury interiors.

What makes their creations even more special is the heartwarming collaboration behind them. Lübech Living partners with a women's Fair Trade project in Sri Lanka, empowering women to work from home, allowing them to care for their families while earning a fair income. This initiative not only supports these artisans but also ensures that each piece is imbued with personal dedication and skill.

In celebration of this partnership, Lübech Living has introduced an exclusive set of vases, with proceeds dedicated to supporting and honoring these talented women. By bringing these unique designs into your home, you're not just elevating your décor—you're also contributing to a meaningful cause that uplifts communities and promotes sustainable artistry.

The artistry behind each collection was truly something to admire—refined, elegant, and beautifully designed to transform any dining experience. It was more than just tableware; it was a celebration of tradition, craftsmanship, and modern luxury.

Villeroy & Boch continues to redefine the art of dining, making every meal an occasion.

Creativeworld with a Beat!🎶
Now, this is how you bring creativity to life! Walking through Creativeworld, I expected colour, texture, and endless inspiration—but I didn’t expect to be singing along to an incredible live band!

There’s something about music that just amplifies creativity, and this band had us all feeling the energy, the rhythm, and the pure joy of being surrounded by artistic brilliance.
