Cheap Modern DeskModern captured by Drew Kelly
Photographer Drew kelly has seen some amazing architecture and interiors, not only has he seen them but has done a fantastic job at capturing them so that we can all indulge. Drew has a way of letting the natural light tell the story, letting the natural light show us how a person may experience the place if they lived there. You may recognize some of these images as I did, Drew’s client list is quite impressive. Make sure to check out the rest of his work.
Chapel Hill by Welch Architecture
I don’t even know where to start with, in my book, dream house! Flat roofline, geometric lines, dark colored brick, wood siding, a nod to mid century, oh and the pool. When I look at these images I can only think of how much harder it is to “DO” modern. You can’t hide mistakes with extra embellishments that only ad visual confusion. The exteriors and interiors echo so well with each other. Welch Architecture has a stunning body of work that you need to go check out.
The Shadow House by Liddicoat & Goldhill
The Shadow House by Liddicoat & Goldhill is an amazing little house that was “a true self-build, integrating planning, design, finance and construction into one fluid process.“. I love the the color pallet including the nice book matched piece of marble on the exterior. The black exterior brick is quite breath taking to me, I really like brick and I love a black exterior, so I get the best of both worlds here.
The Shadow House replaces a former electricity substation at the end of a Victorian terrace in the Camden Square Conservation Area, just north of the Kings Cross redevelopment. With strict planning restrictions on height and a site area of less than 75sqm, the design is a brutally efficient solution.
Modern interiors by Jeffrey Thrasher Design
Jeffrey Thrasher has an amazing talent that ranges from ultra modern to a warm modern cabin in the woods. As a collector of art and furniture Jeffrey enjoys working with like minded clients and it shows throughout his portfolio. New York pied-à-terre is my favorite project as it contains many elements of a mid century modern space that I love so much.
“I like working on multiple projects for clients because each city brings with it a different challenge,” he remarks. “I love working with art and furniture collectors, which I’m doing frequently now. I’ve been a collector my entire adult life, so I understand what it means to design rooms that complement great art and furniture.”
Hai by Luca Nichetto for one Nordic Furniture Company
The “Hai” chair by Luca Nichetto for one Nordic Furniture Company, is quite nice. A little Paul McCobb with a sprinkle of Eero Saarinen maybe? I really like the design and would love to see a pair of them in a rust orange material so the frames had a nice contrast with the body of the chair. The positioning looks to be a comfortable lounging position.
‘Hai’ lounge chair is the result of the combination of functional requirements and complementary stylistic values. Here the request to create an object of great quality and strong personality has met the functional requirements related to packaging derived from the world of online sales.
Contemporary art meets mid century modern
The mix of contemporary art and mid century modern pieces in this apartment is beautifully balanced striking a harmonious balance. This has to be my favorite style, sometimes the two styles can look cohesive and sometimes the juxtaposition can be equally stunning. The Gio Ponti headboard in pic 2 is one of my favorite pieces in the whole place. These are only a few of the images, make sure to check out the rest of the place.
