Appartamento Alicante by LAGO

LAGO Appartamento Lago emerged from the awareness that design should not look to the individual product but rather to the improvement of people’s lives and work.

This is why we decided to create the first global network of houses where one can experience a revolutionary approach to living space.

Appartamento Lago focuses on the centrality of the individual, the Tenant and his or her guests, transforming the home into a zone open to relationships, experiences and culture.

And it is precisely the Tenant who opens the doors to his or her own home, entirely furnished with the Lago systematic design, welcoming guests and representing the fulcrum of a new way of interacting between project, product and people.

Entering an Appartamento Lago means replacing the vision of Lago design, typical of the traditional showroom, with direct participation in a design approach lived in the every-day and with authenticity.

Becoming a Tenant means being a unique person capable of meeting the challenge of a new project and acting while involving the people around him or her in the experience. Appartamento Lago is not only a space where one implements a new systematic vision of interior design but an epicentre of sociality, where one works, relaxes and develops the ideas that will design the future.

The apartments are in big cities, but not limited to them: they are wherever there is ferment, energy and people who have ideas about changing the world.

Paperman, Disney’s Oscar-nominated Short Film

Introducing a groundbreaking technique that seamlessly merges computer-generated and hand-drawn animation techniques, first-time director John Kahrs takes the art of animation in a bold new direction with the Oscar®-nominated short, “Paperman.” Using a minimalist black-and-white style, the short follows the story of a lonely young man in mid-century New York City, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn after a chance meeting with a beautiful woman on his morning commute. Convinced the girl of his dreams is gone forever, he gets a second chance when he spots her in a skyscraper window across the avenue from his office. With only his heart, imagination and a stack of papers to get her attention, his efforts are no match for what the fates have in store for him. Created by a small, innovative team working at Walt Disney Animation Studios, “Paperman” pushes the animation medium in an exciting new direction.

Chip Ivory - Get Em High For This (Ellie Goulding x Kanye West)

Chip Ivory is the music project of Ryan Driscoll, an American musician specializing in production, digital sampling, remixes, and mashups.  Mechanical engineer by day, musician by night (or whenever he has some free time), Chip Ivory is not afraid to step on some toes and push some boundaries in the musical realm.  His musical taste ranges the entire menu of musical genres from west coast rap to folk-rock. Starting in May of 2012, Chip Ivory is not a household name just yet, but after picking up over 75,000 SoundCloud listens and his first complete mixtape dropping in September, that is bound to change.

“Mashups are a dime a dozen these days, so in a sense Chip Ivory is the proverbial needle in a saturated haystack.”  – Sean O. (Indie Shuffle)
