Talon stools by John Galvin

John Galvin is no stranger to plastolux, he has some amazing skills when it comes to shaping and manipulating wood. These two stools are some of the new pieces he will be launching in London next week at Clerkenwell Design week. I am really liking the stool with the flat seat and scooped back. As always killer work!

Whistler residence by Battersby Howat

I am really liking the structure and design of the Whistler residence by Battersby Howat. I love seeing the interior elements at play in this house, when wood, concrete and glass get together it creates a killer combination. The black stained shingles really contrast amazingly well with the concrete exteriors. Red cedar and douglas fir were used throughout the house to provide warmth.

New from Studio Dunn

With ICFF upon us there are bound to be a slew of new products and designs for us to admire. Studio Dunn has some new pieces for us to look at. The Corliss Chair, Bristol Console Table and the Narragansett Bowls are what caught my eye. I have always admired the work of Studio Dunn, their attention to detail and killer craftsmanship rank pretty high in my book (I don’t really have a ranking book but you know what I mean) I wish I were going to be at ICFF this year to see all of the “newness” that will clog the internet soon.

V4 House by Marcio Kogan MK27 Architects

I was perusing through one of my blogging pals site, Dee Adams and came across a modern interior that stopped me dead in my tracks. Can you say Papa Bear Chairs in Stereo, not only in stereo but in kelly green! The rest of the house is amazing as well, there are way too many killer pieces and element in this house to make a list, so let us all enjoy the view.

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”.
