David Collins MahaNakhon

For those that know me there is no hiding that I am a huge David Collins fan and so when I saw images of the Sales Apartment in MahaNakhon, Bangkok, I was in heaven. These luxurious interiors are mind blowing with a sensuous colour palette, rich textures, exquisite furniture pieces, stunning light fittings and sublime artwork. It really captures the essence of this iconic building. Every little detail has been thoroughly thought and words cannot express what I feel when I look at these interiors.

They are simply a pure surge of 'minimalist luxury', definitely at it's best. I am literally entranced and can honestly gaze at these pictures all day. Perfect for an inspirational Tuesday morning!

So what do you think? Have they managed to cast a spell on you ;)

Tea Time!!!

Bank holiday weekend is nearly here so to get us in the mood lets sit back and think about having some afternoon tea. I'm not talking about any kind of afternoon tea but one with luxurious and glamorous surroundings which can only be the settings of the master himself, architect and designer David Collins.

The Palm Court at the Langham Hotel followed a lavish £80m refurbishment transforming it into one of the most fashionable places for tea and has also been awarded the Tea Guild Membership in recognition of its outstanding quality.

Full of plush fabrics and gold encrusted walls, relax on a velvet stool and take in the glamorous era you feel you have been transported back to. Choosing a tea has never been more difficult as there are 30 different types! If you think that is hard work try choosing a champagne with over 40 varieties.....Life can be hard work ;)

Here are some images to feast your eyes on...Ok back to work and I guess I'll make do with a Twinings breakfast tea for now!  

Have a lovely Weekend :)
