A new lifestyle trend

On July 12, 2016, from 19.00 the exhibition "A new lifestyle trend"curated by Mihaela Ion, at Ethos House - Calea Floreasca 240B, Bucharest.

Liliana Stoica, creator of the Deco-Box brand, the first in Romania to integrate the concept of 3D wooden paintings in the decoration of offices, homes, came up with the challenge to the curator Mihaela Ion, the designer Ciprian Manda and Irina Alexandru, co-founder of the smart watch Vector Watch, to transform the reception of Ethos House into a space of culture and lifestyle. Situated next to Floreasca Lake, Ethos House, is one of the newest office buildings, seamlessly blending elegant design with Renaissance influences and architectural innovation, making it an iconic "green" building.

"A new lifestyle trend" is an event designed to promote the smart integration of object design in a business space through the three-dimensional wood mosaic and bold colors of Liliana Stoica from Deco-Box, the Vector Watch smartwatches, and the noble architectural furniture created by Ciprian Manda from Silva Artis.

Each object has a different story, a different composition, but all have been realized by young visionaries, who challenge to change, to go beyond the standard, conservative barriers, either by redefining the decor or the technology. Out of love for the unconventional and with an impulse to redefine lifestyle we invite you to be among the first to join us and benefit from a new trend that involves valuable author's objects and Romanian technology at the highest standards.

The one-of-a-kind exhibition can only be visited from July 12 to August 12, and the opening will be attended by the initiators of the brands on display: Deco-Box, Silva Artis and VectorWatch.

Entry to the event is free.

The event hashtags are: #lifestyle #wood # NTDL

Vector Watch, the smartwatch with Romanian roots, stands out for its 30-day battery life, unmatched by other devices in its range, its compatibility with all major operating systems (iOS, Android and Windows Phone), and its sleek and sophisticated look. Crafted from stainless steel with refined and contoured finishes, its notification system allows the user to read messages or reject incoming calls on the phone with a flick of the wrist.

Deco-Box is the story of a journey, the search for a passion and embracing the organic creative calling that lies within each of us!

Starting from the idea that we are all made of color, a combination of vibrations and light, we aim to create a unique experience, three-dimensional paintings based on geometric pieces of solid wood and contrasting, cheerful colors - "Life in bold colours" or rather: "Bright colors for a cheerful ambience".

In September 2013 Deco-Box is launched, the first 3D art workshop on wood, a new design concept, formed by Liliana - the founder and her father - a sculptor and restorer by profession.

Silva Artis - Wood workshop was launched in 2011 as a parallel exploration of forms and materials. Ciprian Manda works with new materials, but also with the old, in order to achieve a depth, a profundity of the experience of space. The raw material, the strong colors are combined with precise joints.

In a world of "made in China" things, made from ever cheaper and increasingly artificial materials, there is a need for the natural, the authentic.

In a space filled with generic storage boxes with no personality, it calls for balance, with one-of-a-kind pieces that are spectacular in material and shape.

Mihaela Ion is co-founder of the projects "Atelierul Magazine" and "White night of creators and product designers", managed through her NGO, "Atelierul de Creație Association". She has a vast experience in organizing cultural events in different cities in Romania: Bucharest (ICR, French Cultural Institute, Cinema Elvira Popescu), Cluj Napoca, Iași, Brasov, Timisoara. She was awarded the grant "Gabriela Tudor" in London, at body>data>space, and since 2015 has a PhD in art history.

The invitation is out! From next week until August 12 you are welcome to visit this exhibition of fresh and authentic design.
