Where I should be today

Dart Vader - Source Tzotzil

I have never been in Mexico but I wish I had my very own private jet because the Festival Internacional del Globo is held this week in León, Guanajuato, Mexico. About 200 pilots, representing over a dozen countries, congregated in León’s Metropolitano Park to speckle the sky with their hot air balloons for this annual ballooning event, which has come a long way since its humble beginning in 2002 with 27 balloons.

Up, up and away with Fornasetti Balloons

Uno dei miei desideri è quello di disporre liberamente di tessuti pregiati.

Sarebbe stupendo aver sotto mano pezzi di stoffa lussuosi e ridar loro nuova esistenza dopo essere passati attraverso il mio filtro creativo.

In cima alla mia wishilist si trovano i tessuti Fornasetti e soprattutto il modello Hot air Balloons.

Cosa c'è di più romantico e retro che immaginare di volare via con una mongolfiera?

I designers Fornasetti si sono sbizzarriti nel riproporre questo soggetto su vari complementi d'arredo.
