L’Aroma del mondo (The Flavour of the World) is the title of the book

written by Elisabetta Illy and published by HOEPLI.

It is a survey through the history and the different traditions

of coffee and the art of preparing it.

The book, with the preface by Santo Versace and texts by Andrea Illy,

also offers the chance to discover how coffee can be used in cooking,

thanks to the recipes of Gianfranco Vissani.

The Belgian designer Cathy Pill signed an exclusive

S/S 2011 collection for La Redoute.

She created 12 different styles

with her signature multicolour prints.

After winning several awards, Cathy Pill launched

her first ready-to-wear collection in 2006

during the Paris Fashion Week.

Her style marries Art Nouveau references:

sinuous patterns with draped silhouettes.

The capsule collection will be available from the end of December 2010.

The heterogeneous family of  Fornasetti

vases by Bitossi Ceramiche is growing.

All creations are offspring of Piero and Barnaba Fornasetti

and born from a chalk mould of a vase

designed by Piero in the 50′s:

later found in the cellar by his son Barnaba.

This ‘theme’ has been used for creating new limited edition vases.

Every single vase actually owns a personality

and a nickname such as: Ciccio (Chubby), Smilzo (Skinny), Bitorzolo

(Lumpy), Flora, l’Antipatico (The Unpleasant).

Roger Vivier has unveiled its first signature fragrance

collection including five individual scents.

The result is a series of perfumes with personality, style

and quality made of very precious and rare ingredients:

a couture collection.

Each scent highlights one key ingredient: iris, neroli, rose, sandalwood or amber.

The bottle is a pure and geometric form with

a square gold cap, recalling the brand’s signature shoe buckle.
