With the succes of the 113/577 ebook, it makes me want to do more... But it take time, and I am working on it... At the same time, I figure out some recent posts can do good ebooks... So with the help of Mathieu, who develops Mr Cup (and believe me, he is patient), we just launch the new eBooks page. I also want to update the navigation of the shop, with direct acess to stickers, wood, posters, etc...

Already 3 weeks since I came back from Singapore and haven't found time to post about new meeting with designers there... Here comes the first one, the great Bravo company... You must have seen one of their project on a blog or an other (including this one !), they do such inspiring typographic work. Even if they are not specialized in restaurant identities, they have done several for varied places around Singapore...
This was one of our topic of conversation, how the identity of a restaurant (and its variation over all tools) is essential today. What is interesting in Singapore, as it is a small country / small town, is that many restaurants now have the graphics in the center of their project, as well as the food that is served or music they play; it is almost impossible for a new place, if it wants to exist, to not use an agency to have a great graphics. It improves the visibility of graphic design and provides work to design agencies... the circle is complete !
The wood coasters was the ideal gift...

Enjoy life ! This is how I sign my email. I do my best to do that everyday, and of course it is easier to do in Bali. But do not get wrong, I do not spend my days on a beach... I am most of the time in front of this screen, trying to do 30 things while I have time to do 10 only !
Last month I get contacted by Pascal and Claude, his wife, who live between France and Bali. Pascal has a project we may work on together, he own a restaurant and do music for movies; Claude was photographer and made documentaries. They invite me and my family in their house, an amazing "home" in the south of Bali, in Jimbaran. We spend very quiet and relaxing days there, sharing about life and creativity, eating some amazing fish on the beach, visiting the local market on the morning... Life should be like this everyday !
While we where there, Frédérique, my wife, shoot their beautiful house. As crazy as it can seems, they are selling the house, as life is bringing them somewhere else... I hope they will found the right place, because for us this one is just perfect ! So much space and nice objects everywhere...




One of the great thing of living in a tropical country is that you can have amazing open spaces like this... It is built above an antique Joglo and it is was on the most amazing place I work in !










On each sides of the main living space are rooms... 3 large rooms, each with their open bathrooms. Pascal use one of the as his music/creative room.








In the back of the garden there is 2 old javanese wood houses... both can be used as guest houses... I can stay some weeks in these !!!!






You can see more of Frédérique photos on her new facebook page Symbiose. And if you want to stay some nights in one of the guest houses or if you want to buy you a home in paradise, please contact me and I will pass your message to Pascal and Claude...
