soft structure: lilac + terracotta + autumn lights
soft pastels meet structured geometry in this month’s moodboard. from lilac cushions to terracotta rugs, AGGREGATE elements translate architectural logic into tactile, domestic forms. the patterns are built block by block, repeatable, deliberate — yet coloured for cosiness, for rooms that welcome light and shadow alike. explore how form, colour, and rhythm combine to bring a measured, quiet autumn warmth to interiors.

pattern beneath your feet: rethinking the rug as architectural surface
i’ve wanted to blog more about architecture but the link between the concrete buildings and the jute rugs isn’t always obvious to everyone so i thought i’d write something about it as a bit of an explainer. when we think about architecture, we often think vertically — facades, elevations, materials rising around us. but the floor is where spatial experience begins. It’s where rhythm is established, circulation is guided, and texture makes its first tactile impression.
material vs surface: what do we touch when we decorate?
this is going to be another one of those meandering blog posts but those who know zitozza will appreciate how much i value tactile, haptic design and i often explore this further — even on the buildings i frequently post about. in interior design, it’s often the surface that gets the glory. glossy interior magazines, pinterest kitchens, machine-mixed, precisely matched wall paints — all of these speak first and foremost to the eye. but do they speak to the hand? we decorate our homes by looking, mostly. but living happens through touch.
