Friday by Zeitraum

We are still have dreams of replacing our beat up IKEA sofa but who knows when that will happen, in the mean time I will still drool and dream about the most killer sofa. The Friday line by Zeitraum has a pretty incredible sofa. Wood curves, slung leather and contrast stitching, whats not to love about this? I would like to see it in a longer version.

Laslett House - Designed by the architect Trevor Dannatt

While looking through The Modern House Estate Agents website there were two houses that stood out to me, I already posted about Tavistock Terrace. The other is the Laslett House, Designed by the architect Trevor Dannatt for the Cambridge professor Peter Laslett in 1958. There is something so authentic about this home, it has been so well taken care of. I would say that most of the furnishing are of the time period as well. The home was for sale with plans for an annexe also designed by Dannatt that is sympathetic to the original building, but the home is currently “under offer”.

Acciaio Series - steel chairs, inspired by the bicycle

The Acciaio Series by Max Lipsey is modern seating made from steel, inspired by the bicycle. I am quite smitten with these chairs, mostly the lounge chair, what a killer design. I am really not into cycling but I do appreciate the technology that the cycling world presents. The concept and execution of the Acciaio Series are visually quite nice. I love the perforated leather against the “stilt” like frame work of the chair. I need a pair of these in green.

Modern interiors captured by Tim Van de Velde

Tim Van de Velde has seen and captured some stunning modern interiors. Every time I see a photographers portfolio full of amazing images like these I get a little envious, envious because I would love to see these places and experience the atmosphere that they create. Oh, some day wouldn’t it be great if I could take a semi decent photo……some day.

Concrete sinks by Gore Design Co.

I am totally amazed at what Gore Design Co. is doing with concrete. For me their modern concrete sinks are their strongest design elements. Their different designs and concepts are pretty limitless, but their execution is flawless. I am totally digging on the geometric designs that they have. This is a small selection of images from their portfolio, make sure to go check out the rest.

Tavistock Terrace - Modern in London

Listed on The Modern House Estate Agents website, Tavistock Terrace is a great industrial building turned modern living space. From the inside you still get some of those reminders of what the building once was. Exposed brick and a steel beam running through the home adds some great visual texture. I love what was done on the inside with the design choices, clean minimal and modern.
