There is no shortage of beauty when it comes to the decorative pieces of the interiors.
The Lobby Chandelier by Katarina Fulonova of Lasvit, one of the top chandelier producers from the Czech Republic.

Anima (Latin for “Soul”) by Bea Valdes, a prominent accessories designer known for her beautiful beadwork.
The flowing tapestry with resin flowers took 40 women to sew it together in under 12 months—it represents what Jungian Psychology calls anima, which is “a part of the psyche that is directed inward, and is in touch with the subconscious.”

Raul Isidro showcases his skillful use of the oil and acrylic medium at the age of 73.
