Designing unique systems
Do you know that feeling of satisfaction when you complete a puzzle? What about a recipe that worked well and the result was delicious? Surely many people enjoyed playing with building blocks and games such as LEGO and Tetris. To me this is how I feel about design and how I work with it. It is all about systems and its connections!
A system is a group of things that work together and also a particular way of doing something. When you change one element, it affects everything else and you need to find again the balance in the whole scheme. That is what makes each system unique to me, and it is a great game to play!
This idea applies not only to colour palettes, patterns and whole spaces, but also the process you use to get to your result. (hint: these are some of the things I love to design!)
Jeff Bezos will be flying to space on the first crewed flight of the New Shepard, the rocket ship made by his space company, Blue Origin. The flight is scheduled for July 20th, just 15 days after he is set to resign as CEO of Amazon.Blue Origin said Bezos' younger brother, Mark Bezos, will also join the flight."Ever since I was five years old, I've dreamed of traveling to space," Bezos, 57, said in a Monday morning Instagram post. "On July 20th, I will take that journey with my brother. The greatest adventure, with my best friend."
If all goes according to plan, Bezos — the world's richest person with a net worth of $187 billion — will be the first of the billionaire space tycoons to experience a ride aboard the rocket technology that he's poured millions into developing. Not even Elon Musk, whose SpaceX builds rockets powerful enough to enter orbit around Earth, has announced plans to travel to space aboard one of his companies human-worthy crew capsules.

British billionaire Richard Branson, whose own space company, Virgin Galactic, is planning on conducting flights to suborbital space for ultra-wealthy thrill seekers and competing directly with Blue Origin. Branson has long said he would be among the first passengers aboard Virgin Galactic's rocket-powered plane, but that flight is expected to take place later in 2021.Blue Origin's flight crewed flight will see the company's six-seater capsule and 59-foot rocket tear toward the edge of space on a 11-minute flight that'll reach more than 60 miles above Earth.After six years of extensive and often secretive testing of the rocket and capsule, called New Shepard, Blue Origin announced in May that it was preparing to put the first passengers in a New Shepard capsule.

We all have different definitions for what a home is, how it should look and feel. But what does that meant to you? Let's find out!
Observe your living habits, take notes and we will discuss the aspects that would make your home uniquely yours. It is about translating feelings and needs into concrete ideas and suggestions.
The proposal is to work together through a consultation. What is covered during the time we spend together depends on your specific needs.
The meeting can be online or in person (depending on the distance and other circumstances). The cost is one hundred and twenty one euros per hour, including taxes. Interested? The first step is right here.
Why do octopuses have eight arms? The better to punch fish with, new research reveals.These brainy cephalopods sometimes team up with fish to find food; hunting collaboratively like this allows them to cover more area, and it increases their chances of catching prey. However, when big blue octopuses (Octopus cyanea), also known as day octopuses, are displeased with their fish partners, they demonstrate their ire by suddenly punching the fish in the head.The octopus lashes out using "a swift, explosive motion with one arm," in an attack "which we refer to as punching," scientists wrote in a new study.

Temporary hunting alliances between octopuses and coral reef fish have been documented for decades and can involve multiple participants of various species, the study authors reported Dec. 18 in the journal Ecology. Sometimes, fish and octopuses will work together for more than an hour, with different species scouting different locations. Octopuses pursue prey that dart around rocks and into tight spaces in the reef, while bottom-feeding fish such as the yellow-saddle goatfish (Parupeneus cyclostomus) scour the seafloor, and other fish species patrol the water column, according to the study.
