💡✍️ Studio MinaLima Creative Diaries ✍️💡
Join us as we delve into what’s inspired the MinaLima team recently in a new series! From pop culture, to our social feeds, to real life exhibitions, design inspiration is all around us.
First up, it’s Dan, one of our Junior Graphic Designers: “Recently I’ve been inspired by the Grotesque Obsession that is painted on the ceilings of the Uffizi Gallery in Florence. For me it is the consideration of colour and composition, as there are many different designs throughout the building, each unique to their own. The detail and care that would have gone into each design astounds me as the artist has used the negative space so effectively.”
Without endpapers, a book wouldn't be a book. But just why are they so important for our MinaLima editions? It's not only for the practical element! Keep watching to find out...
🇬🇧Because of the recent flooding in Rio Grande do Sul, the water in this state is contaminated and access to clean water is difficult. MinaLima will donate one truckload of bottled drinking water (21,000 litres) from Água Mineral Caxambu - from the springs of Caxambu, Eduardo’s hometown - with proceeds from all sales at minalima.com and House of MinaLima London this weekend. Learn more or donate directly @aguacaxambu or Brazil Foundation’s Luz Alliance Fund at @brazilfound
