“There must be more to life than having everything.” - Maurice Sendak
…But what does it really take to live well? Quality of life does not come from gadgets, toys or the newest fashion trend. I think it comes from experiences. A couple of years ago, I found myself talking more and more about campfires – but not the kind that involve wood and flames. Lifestyle design campfires are centers of positive energy that bring us close to ourselves and each other, with the promise of well-being, productivity and meaningful interaction. Just like the real ones, these campfires have the power to energize the small moments that are life.
Made up of objects, routines and even living things, campfires shape our daily experiences and encourage balanced living. In earlier days, campfires were a necessity — a source of warmth and sustenance. With the breakneck pace of modern life, lifestyle design campfires are more important than ever. They encourage experiences that nourish our souls and are an essential ingredient of a life well-lived.
