Building my "home sweet home" with Maja De Silva



Pictures: Source. 

"Home Sweet Home" ... true, you always feel more comfortable and at ease when you are at your own home! But what if you have to live abroad for a while? Will you find your comfortable place at a hotel room or "aparthotel"? I recently met Maja de Silva, Interiors and Art designer, who knows everything about "making you feel like at home" even if it's just temporary. 
Maja de Silva. Interior Art Designer

You end your journey and you only dream about one thing (a part from the nice rosé glass by the lake at this time of the year of course...) and that is: going home and finding your inner peace. That place can be different from each other. Some of us find it on the balcony, reading a book and enjoying the last few rays of sunlight. Some others find it on the couch, just laying down and stop thinking. We all need that place where we find, in one way or another, peace. 







Maja de Silva, originally from Poland, always had that strong need to design, decorate, and make places look beautiful. "I love everything that has to do with design - materials, textures, colors, being able to select and put everything together - it's just fabulous . Design is also important to me because when I come back home, I want to feel it's my space. In a sense, I want my home to be me." MDS.




When it comes to building interiors, Maja knows exactly what to do, as the first thing she does is getting to know the client, studying the client's needs and making them possible. As an expat, Maja knows the importance of feeling like at home from far away. "
What makes the job so special is not the quantity of projects, but the amazing people you get to work with. And so I'm always happy to start my journey..." MDS.

Experimenting with Tiffany Rowe


Tiffany Rowe

It’s Friday morning and I have “RDV”, what the French speakers love to call “a meeting”, with a jewelry artist.

In a British lookalike Vevey neighborhood, a ravishing, smiling and absolutely friendly Tiffany Rowe is ready to show me and tell me all about her passion in life: the ART of creating jewelry.



It’s been 10 years since she started this thrilling adventure in the art jewelry universe. Right after a, let’s say “not pleasant”, sentimental breakup, she started creating rings and offer them to her close friends in small chocolate boxes. That was just the beginning of her new era. Following her dad’s advice (a former physician with an art background), she kept her passion for art alive while working in other fields in order to be completely independent. Today, Tiffany teaches biology to young students while she designs and expresses her passion through her creative work.

What does make a piece of jewelry to be considered ART? Let’s say: Authenticity, Exclusivity, and also, Material use uniqueness. Tiffany Rowe’s art is not only based on precious materials and gems, but also on common materials such as plastic, glass, cables and ropes.

“IT HAS TO HAVE A MEANING”. Tiffany only creates following her intuition, vision, and heart. All her pieces (only one piece of each) are made after travels and life experiences. You can feel the New Orleans Carnival vibe through the Lobster necklace, the Southeast England piers smell with the “Nautical but Nice” collection, the Essence of a woman and everything that makes her be A WOMAN with the Essence collection, or just loose yourself through the Enchanted Garden collection.





My favorite? Hard to decide among all these stunning pieces of ART… but I would say: the Firework necklaces and the Bubble rings! 


Don’t miss her next June 27th at the Marché Sans Puces in Geneva! MORE INFO
