O que se passa com os nossos adolescentes?

Na semana passada um triste acontecimento deixou-me a pensar sobre o que se passa com os nossos adolescentes. Todos nós já ouvimos falar aqui ou ali sobre um qualquer jovem que se suicidou, mas é sempre diferente quando acontece perto de nós. Quando conhecemos as pessoas toca-nos de forma diferente e leva-nos a procurar respostas. Respostas difíceis de encontrar já que  de acordo com estudos, o suicídio é a segunda causa mais comum de morte de pessoas nesta faixa etária em todo o mundo, números que nos passam ao lado e que nós nem paramos para saber, a menos que aconteça ao nosso lado...e quando acontece deixa-nos sem chão e só conseguimos questionar o porquê...

Original Oak Bench by Hubsch

When I saw the image in the catalogue I thought "This bench it's perfect"! With the simplicity and functionality that characterise the Scandinavian design, this natural oak bench from the Danish brand Hubsch have a really smart design. The soft cushions at the back and side of the bench are attached to the wooden slats with leather belts, that provides a beautiful contrast to the grey fabric and the natural wood. The cushions turned the bench not only beautiful but also comfortable. The small shelf that can be used as side table it's that final touch that makes the Hubsch bench  a really different furniture piece. You can find it at Lagoon .

Mosquito Chair one of the most important pieces of design, a true Icon.

Born in 1920 in Slovenia , Niko Kralj, as become one of the most renown legends of timeless and minimalistic design. His passion for design, the great interest in acquiring new knowledge, his forward-thinking inventions and an eye for useful, but stylish solutions put him on a pedestal on the list of the great furniture designers.  He becames without doubt one of the most important designers of the last century. 1953 is the year of the first Rex designs were brought to public light. On top of Kralj projects, is the Mosquito Chair , which got its name because of thin tapering legs and mosquito wings shaped seating surface. The seating surface is cut in the middle and obliquely raised outwards. Due to its technological complexity, but definitely not because of the lack of elegance and comfort, the production of Mosquito started only in 2012. Its unique construction of mounting the chair legs to the seat is patent protected.  "The details are not the details
