Cheap Modern DeskAcorn Chest of Drawers by Bark
I am really digging on the Acorn Chest of drawers by Bark. There are two design elements that really stand out to me, the drawer handles are a fantastic detail and mix that with an overall tapered design and you have one unique modern dresser.
Los Robles by ÁBATON
OK! Favorite new house, let’s see how long that lasts. It’s not to often that I find a house where the interiors and exteriors/architecture make me completely envious. ÁBATON has some amazing homes in their body of work but the Los Robles project is stunning on so many levels, literally levels.
The land for these homes at the time was part of the large garden of a house whose owner kept the existing species and added criteria other tree species. It also had impressive granite boulders, some more than 5m in height. This dramatically conditioned how to implement the three houses that the ordinance allowed. The titration of the three houses was raised so that none of them stood in the views of the other. Similarly, the living areas on the outside were placed far apart for maximum privacy in each.
Cirkel leaning lamp by Daphna Laurens
I have a healthy obsession for modern vintage lighting and even though the Cirkel leaning lamp is not vintage it has that feeling of. Could you imagine two of these flanking a fireplace? I think the legs would have to be taller but wow they would look killer
Leaning lamp against the wall, is a floor lamp. This piece leaves no other choice then to put it against the wall. It is a little creature what is looking through your wall to the other side.
The visual stimulation of James Roper
I am loving the mind blowing work of James Roper. Where does one start, the shapes, the colors, the story? I bet I could stare at these every day and find something new. The colors are so rich and vibrant. I really like the use of shape, all telling the same story but in a different way. Make sure to check out the rest of his work!
Loungescape by Ditte Hammerstrom
I am really liking the Loungescape by Ditte Hammerstrom. I do think you would have to have a pretty good sized space to have at least three of these in a grouping, you know the saying “if you do it once, do it three times”. I am also digging the green color ways.
Sofa in seven parts. Can be placed in different ways according to the room and tied together. Nominated for Bo Bedre Design Prize 2005.
Do 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
