The Stunning Beauty Of London Floors Or Why You Should Look Down While Travelling
After having discovered the stunning variety of floors in Paris, Venice, and Barcelona, I got a new opportunity to reveal the magnificent variety of floors of yet another European metropole.
The last June Pixartprinting called me again to go to London to take pictures of the floors of many emblematic monuments and fantastic restaurants.
It was a great week where I had the opportunity to meet interesting people, as the food influencer Leyla Kazim and Sarka Babicka, the design blogger Geraldine Tan and the Lifestyle influencer Tun Shin Chang. I will never forget the mosaic floors of the Bank of England, the huge floor design at The Bibendum restaurant or the dinner I enjoyed with Pixartprinting in Rok Restaurant.
Today, I am glad to show you London Floors, the fourth and the last city of the amazing floors series that consist in exploring cities through its floors to create a very specific and creative photographic report. With these pictures, Pixartprinting has built a graphic map of the city offering a new perspective for the visitors and for curious people.

Share on FacebookBeautiful tilework, and very interesting the way you tied your shoes into the picture... interesting shoes for certain.
his camera has got pretty wide lens isn't it? especially the first photo
I was thinking about the same thing. Wide lens? tripod? He is very tall? or somebody else is helping with taking photos? And the colour of his shoes matches with the mosaic colour/pattern. Just curious :D

I was wondering why I have never noticed those beautiful tile floors in Paris, or Barcelona, or London...when my hubby said to me: "That's because you never look at the floor" :)....and then he send me this picture he made a couple of weeks ago, standing on a dike close to our place, in Holland :D Fantásticos zapatos , Sebastian!...Gracias por compartir tu genialidad con nosotros! dyke-tiles...179d91.jpg
We really should look down more,not just at the ground but at people shoes as well.
Amazing!!! Nice composition and textures combination . I like your shoes! "Oxblood" oxford and blue wholecut - very cool!!! (I've got hight instep, so i have no one wholecut's ((( it's no fit for me ) if it's no secret, who is the manufacturer of them ? Thanks for your fotos!
For this project I used shoes from Andres Sendra, a spanish shoemaker (http://andres-sendra.com), from Etro & Lanvin, which I got from Mr. Porter (www.mrporter.com)

I was wondering why I have never noticed those wonderful floor patterns in Paris, Barcelona or London and my hubby said: "It's because you never look at the floor":D....Then he sent to me this pic he has made a couple of weeks ago, on a dyke, close to our place, in Holland....hahaha dyke-tiles...7dccc9.jpg
Great, great pictures!...I love them all, from Venice, Barcelona, London , but what I liked the most were your shoes :). I can not wait until you can show us the next serie of wonderful tile floors !!!!
Do you pack alot of shoes with you all the time, then change to the corresponding shoes to take each picture?
yes i try to match the shoes with floors as best as possible. So i tend to carry a spare pair of shoes with me most of the time (sometimes even more pairs)
