My interest in Oysters is more than gastronomic. They are fascinating superheroes.

Indulging in the artistry of life this Friday! 🌺✨ Currently, the pace of my life is such that I plan everything, even the rest. Therefore, yesterday, I embarked on a gourmet escape to the Design Center Nini Andrade Silva in Funchal, Madeira, and let me tell you, it was a feast for the senses. From 3 o'clock onwards, my day transformed into a canvas of leisure, culminating in a dinner experience that was nothing short of extraordinary. Nini Andrade Silva's touch on this haven of design and contemporary art was mesmerizing, providing a perfect counterpoint to the vibrant hues of the island. The restaurant, perched on a cliff overlooking the majestic ocean and the bay where cruise ships gracefully dock, is a culinary gem. The menu showcased the finest local ingredients, paired with exquisite wines. Fun fact: the sommelier enlightened me that Alentejo, the main wine region of Portugal, translates to "near the Tejo River." The Ronaldo Museum, tucked behind the cruise ship, and Madeirans treat him quite specially. For those contemplating a visit to Madeira and who love gourmet food and amazing design, mark my words: visiting the Design Center Nini Andrade Silva in Funchal is an absolute must. The combination of stunning aesthetics, delectable dishes, and an unrivaled view creates an experience that transcends the ordinary. It is a stunning example of how much value a sense of style and design talent can add to any business. And yes, while my love for gourmet restaurants is undeniable, my passion for sports is a bit more complex – not akin to Churchill's "no sport," but sports, unlike gourmet food, I have to force myself to love with the help of will and character. 🏞️ 🍽️ #GourmetAdventure #MadeiraMagic #DesignDelight #Founder #PitchDeck #Funding #Business #Investing #VC #VentureCapital #Entrepreneur #Startup #Startups #BuildingTrust #PitchPerfect #VPMSDreamPitchDeck #privateequity

Mirus – Barossa Valley, South Australia Following the successful launch of Wonderground last year, the team have released a range of small batch wines that showcase the remarkable vineyard sites in Barossa Valley known as Mirus. ‘Mirus’ is a latin word meaning wonderful, strange, remarkable, amazing, surprising, extraordinary. The name embodies the magical place that the wines come from; each varietal from grapes picked off a single block, representing the diversity of soils, aspect, vine age and vine clones on the estate. Cornershop Design collaborated with Wonderground to establish a brand identity and packaging for their Wonderground range of wines. We are thrilled to partner with them again, to help tell their Mirus brand story. Like the Wonderground labels, the Mirus packaging features distinct artworks created by artists and co-founders Kirsty Kingsley and Renée de Saxe. Each label is crafted from natural pigments and textures from the soil on the specific vineyard blocks. Mirus pays respect to the native custodians of the land, like Wonderground's creations; from winemaking to creating art for the labels. The typographic logo is finished in a black foil and embossed. It is an elegant solution to complement the Wonderground logo and position the Mirus brand and range of wines with distinction.

Perfect sunset, right? But, wait, it was actually sunrise 🤔. . Does it really matter? It depends. If it's used by the actual venue to advertise their atmosphere, it could be considered misleading (the sun will never be on that side in the evening). If it's used by this wine brand to evoke certain feelings, it doesn't really matter when or how it was taken. . Thoughts? . . . . . . . . . #restaurantphotography #atmosphere #hospitality #horeca #dish #cheers #foodphotography101 #photographycomposition #newyorkfood #newyorkfoodie #beautifulfood #foodstylingandphotography #gorgeousfood #foodphotography #culinarycreations #foodie #foodlover #foodgasm #foodstagram #balancematters #blurredbackground #restaurantbranding #culinaryimagery #professionalphotographer #visualstorytelling #brandnarrative #elevateyourvision #vibrantcolor #ilovefood #foodinspo
