Let’s be honest, we’re not loving being based in Melbourne right now. Australia has shut its borders since March 2020, making travel in and out of Australia very difficult and expensive. Travel is inherent in many of the projects and collaborations that we do, therefore to restrict our ability to travel out of Melbourne, greatly affects the breadth and quality of our projects. Frustrating is an understatement, and our Creative Director feels it the most as he flies between Melbourne, Singapore and Europe many times a year.
Which brings us to this post, let’s call it a trip down memory lane, specifically the cobblestone streets of Rome. We may not be able to return to Rome with our Creative Director, but his past travels have given us a lot of snaps to continue to inspire us AND remind us, all roads lead (back) to Rome, after this travel ban ends. Here are some unpublished pictures, of little and big things, of small details and awesome grandeur.
The Little Details
The ubiquitous little water drinking fountainThe little vintage Fiat 500The little quirky pot hole windowsThe familiar little Tabacchi kiosk found everywhereThe little details of the lift and stairwell of a Roman apartment blockThe marble counter top of an old school cafe aka un bar
