About This Series

Taste Decoded is a collection of shorter notes exploring the colors, materials and aesthetics shaping contemporary interiors.

Each note looks at when a trend first emerged, why it resonates now, and the key variations through which it can be interpreted and applied in design.

Faster than my usual Travelling Taste articles, this series is made to be saved, shared, and used as a way to read beyond trend stereotypes.

Glass blocks were never really gone.

But in the last few years, and especially across recent observations from Milan Design Week and other design events, they have started to reappear, but with a different design language.

No longer limited to the traditional glass block wall, glass masonry is now being reinterpreted through many news ways, that proof how what makes this return interesting is not the material itself, but the way it is being reframed.

In this note I am giving you some interesting variations to get inspired for your projects and designs.
