ANDREA MASTROVITO, artistHow is your bed? My bed is built in a big ’70s wardrobe. Between the wardrobe and my bed there are some shelves at 30cm from the matress. I love to squeeze myself in between, to feel myself safe and cuddled during the night. I love blue sheets with white spots. When I wake up for a bad nightmare, I switch on the light and I open my Topolino: just watching the images!
Which is the meal you do not like at all? I hate carrots. I had to eat kilos of carrots when I had gastroenteritis. for this reason they are crap! Your favorite meal? I love the omelette that mum prepares. I image to eat it with beans and sauces like Bud Spencer and Terence Hill in Lo chiamavano Trinità western movie.
Your favourite book? I do not read because I cannot. I watch the images from Topolino and I wonder what are those black signs into the white ballons.
Have you got an imaginary friend? No I haven’t. Only imaginary enemies from whom I have to fight to save the world!
from cz-zen! thank u

How is your bed? My bed is very simple and made from pine. It is a high bed with a small set of stairs at the end so I can climb up, underneath I have a little desk and a comfy seating area. My duvet cover is dark blue with stars on like the night sky. Which kind of meal you do not like? Anything with celery in, I don’t like celery!! And your favourite? I really like bananas, and sometimes have them in a sandwich. Your favorite book to read? My favorite book is Bear goes to town: Bear has all sorts of strange adventures and is able to draw what he thinks... when running away from a baddie in a car he draws a banana skin to make the car skid! Have you got an imaginary friend? I don’t have an imaginary friend but I am friends with lots of animals in our garden, we have a beautiful pond which is home to lots of creatures. Their are big crested newts with colourful bellies and dragon fly larvae with hard spiky bodies. I love it when all the baby tadpoles grow little legs and turn into baby frogs and hop around the grass.

I don’t like fish because of the smell… yuk… disgusting! And your favourite? My favorite meal is ice cream! Your favorite book to read? All the most popular fairy tales.

How is your bed? I have a large bed, a double and I don’t like going to sleep... and in kindergarten instead of sleep, I like to pull out the feathers from the pillow and blow is so that does not fall as long as possible ...
Which kind of meal you do not like? I do not like milk, especially boiled milk. I don’t like even the smell of it! A milk soup is a nightmare! Even cocoa is mostly milk, so I don’t like it… And your favourite? Hm... I do not like eat at all… the air?
Your favorite book to read? I do not like books to much, there are more interesting things to do ... ok, maybe a little Pinocchio… and The Snow Queen although it is kind of a scary... Have you got an imaginary friend? No, I do not have an imaginary friend but I would love to fly with Peter Pan. I could swear that scattering small silver papers from chocolate enable me to fly a few centimeters above the ground for a moment… why adults do not see it?

Spot by Quentin de Coster is a playful birdhouse that diverts the traditional wooden nest box by adapting it to the plastics industry. Composed of a thermoformed polystyrene hull and an aluminium base, this object to fix in your garden provides the birds with the opportunity to land on the disk or instead, to take shelter in the house itself.

... I am sitting in our garden, constructing (...well, trying to construct)
"something" ! I do not have skills and everything I try to put together
just didn't with stand gravity ... But I am motivated. And I am absorbed for hours in what I am doing!

I am originally from Belgium and all my childhood, I lived in Luxemburg. Here my mother remarried with a Dane when I was 4. Every summer after this, we spend about 1 month in Denmark. I remember it being so wonderfully exotic to me. I was fascinated by all those modern interiors, it felt so futuristic to me! I also loved the freedom: not being told what to do all the time and running around naked with the other kids playing and picking fruits and vegetables. All the adults were so easy going compared to back home. Turning 16 years old, I moved to Denmark with my mother, sisters and stepfather – never to leave again!
