Cheap Modern DeskDo you know Jacques Dupuis?
I recently stumbled onto the site of Jacques Dupuis and was completely stoked to get a little education on this man. The google translation doesn’t read to smooth but it sounds like Jacques had his own way of thinking. I love the style of his projects and his dedication to black and white. There is a load of great history and images on his site so make sure to check it out.
Jacques Dupuis was trained before the war, at the Ecole Nationale Superieure d’Architecture de la Cambre, in Brussels, under the direction of the modernist architect Victor Bourgeois. De 1940 à 1951, il travaille en association étroite avec son ami intime Roger BASTIN, un autre grand format de l’architecture belge. From 1940 to 1951 he worked in close association with his close friend Roger Bastin, another large Belgian architecture. ”Jacques Dupuis in his first apartment in Brussels in 1949, (© Alexis);
Anarchist temperament and provocative, his refusal to vertical construction, industrialization of the habitat are quickly index. De plus en plus, dans les années 50 et 60, il se tourne vers une clientèle choisie, mais limitée, qui le plébiscite (dès 1949 pour la maison Madeleine Everaert, à Uccle): des ingénieurs, des médecins, des artistes, des enseignants, tous membres d’une classe moyenne en pleine ascension, souvent jeunes et sensibles à l’art contemporain, plus quelques industriels, avocats et patrons… Increasingly, in the 50’s and 60’s, he turned to a select clientele, but limited, that the plebiscite (from 1949 to Madeleine Everaert home in Uccle): engineers, doctors, artists, teachers All members of a middle class on the rise, often young and sensitive to contemporary art, plus some industrial lawyers and bosses Text Via

BUREAU D’ARCHITECTURE MARC CORBIAU
Belgium based Marc Corbiau has a fantastic body of architectural work but the interiors are what caught my eye. I love the museum quality and feel of these spaces. One really gets the feeling that these interiors have been carefully curated with attention to detail.
Realtor Michael Locke
While trolling Flickr I came across the photos of Realtor Michael Locke. Michael is a Realtor focused on the Silver Lake, Los Feliz, Echo Park and other Eastside Los Angeles areas. I asked If I could share some of his imagery with my readers as he visited some stellar properties. Just to name a few: Richard Neutra, Pierre Koenig, John Lautner, Josef Van der Kar and Lloyd Wright. If any of you are in the market for a modern house in these areas make sure to look him up.

Brendan Austin: Studio
The photographic work of Brendan Austin is not only beautiful but the cropping of shapes and colors really make these images artistic. Brendan has worked and lived in quite a few countries which has given Brendan the opportunity so see and capture some amazing spaces.
Bell Phillips Architects
While looking through the work of Bell Phillips Architects, there was one element that totally struck me. The modern staircase in the Grove Park project is simply amazing. “The stair is created from a complex geometry of folded triangular facets which appear to float effortlessly within the space.” The rest of their work is really nice too, check it out.
India Mahdavi for Galerie Patrick Seguin
I have posted about the amazing work of Architecture and design firm, India Mahdavi once before but when I came across it again, I believe I missed something. This amazing exhibit is full of some killer furniture that we all want to own. To mention a few: Royère Jean, Jean Prouvé and Pierre Jeanneret. I love the steel barn like structure that all of the Jean Prouvé goodies are hanging out in.
