Learn to bring a space to life by combining items from various artistic and architectural time periods
Combining antique and modern items might just be the key to transforming any space into one gleaming with personality. Jimena and Laura, cofounders of the architecture studio Jotaele, are dedicated to remodeling spaces, interior design, and styling. Throughout their career, they've worked on hotels, stores, restaurants, apartments, and houses, always with the same goal in mind: Identifying the client's needs and mirroring the lifestyle of the inhabitants to create a comfortable, warm, and practical space.
In this course, Jimena and Laura teach you to breathe life into your environment using objects from different artistic and architectural time periods. Learn to express your creativity freely and break away from classic paradigms and trends combining elements that express your true style.

Gostei das influências!
muy buen curso, me ayudo mucho en la comprensión de los estilos, y de como unificarlos.
Possono essere una fonte d'ispirazione anche se non ho imparato quello che speravo. Loro sono bravissime ma alla fine è un seguite un loro lavoro specifico. Quindi lo consiglio per chi vuole prendere ispirazioni o seguire un progetto di interior design.
Gostei muito das inspirações que foram mostradas assim como do trabalho que a JOTAELE executa. Senti que o curso podia ter abordado mais sobre a parte estética, que materiais funcionam bem em conjunto, o que não resulta, alguns pontos-chave de combinações entre materiais e estilos. Houve momentos em que foi mais focado na construção do que estava à espera, mas manteve-se interessante.
Recomendo o curso para quem se está apenas a iniciar na área e não para futuros profissionais.
Me ha ayudado a descubrir otros estilos y adentrarme en otro mundo para seguir investigando. Aunque me ha faltado conocer algunas claves de combinaciones de colores, texturas o formas. Algún ejemplo practico de cómo cambia una pequeña estancia de una forma u otra.
