Look at this beautifully renovated loft by Made by Cohen. The windows let in a lot of light, which reflects on the straight lines of the modern kitchen and the rooms itself. By using wooden details throughout the loft and leaving parts of its walls bare, it actually looks quit soft, in contrast to the black, large windows.
Don’t we all dream of the perfect bathroom to relax in after a busy workday ? With the design of this bathroom Norm. proves once again they know how to combine modern and natural elements into a soft and clean look. I love how they combined the straight white lines with the wood of the ladder and the concrete sink lot.
It’s always nice to attach a card to a Christmas present and what better way to do it than in a self-made envelope ? I decided to keep it simple and used marble and concrete texture prints. I cut out the four corners of the paper and folded the flaps. For the closure on the back, I used a black dot sticker. On the front I attached a little message with a Masking Tape.
I have been in love with the beautiful bottles of cosmetic brand Aesop from the first time I saw them, but that’s not the only design element of the brand that’s pretty. Their stores in Boston, London and Paris are just as divine. The one in Boston consists out of cornices covering the walls and making shelves for the signature bottles. In the Paris store, the shelfs are created of old nails, closely aligned to each other and the London store is modeled on an 1930’s medical laboratory. I think all three stores are very original, I will certainly pay a visit the next time I’m in london, Paris or Boston. What about you ?
Jordane Arrivetz is an interior designer who finds her inspiration from different aspects of the design culture, especially the 50s and 60s. The apartment she styled combines modern, clean lines, like the kitchen counter and bathroom, with vintage elements like the old ladder in the kitchen and the frames in the living room. I think both are very well combined and give the apartment character and personality.
Northern Lighting designed Plank, a light fixture made out of pure, raw wood. It stems from a reference to the used and abused delivery pallet. Plentiful in function, this thin, long and simplistic pendant, wall and floor lamp series serves well to add directed or guided light to a defined space in a room. It further works well in providing a defined light strip down towards for example a table or a desk area. I would love to have a Plank lamp above my desk !
This completely renovated home with white walls and light floors is just gorgeous isn’t it ? I think it shows that a house doesn’t need a lot of color to be interesting (even though I like some pops of color here and there). I think it gives the place such a calm and peaceful vibe.
Austrian designer Robert Stadler’s designed a new bistro chair for Thonet, as an update for the classic 214 Bistro chair. Nowadays, the original 214 chair is rather expensive, because the back of the chair still is produced in a rather traditional way. For the 107 chair to be manufactured in a cost-efficient way, the curves of the 214 chair were replaced by straight lines. It is produced in an almost totally automated process. Other than the cost efficiency, I think it’s a well-designed update, worthy of replacing the 214 chair.
This is Christina L. Jensen’s apartment, a french paradise in Denmark. She likes to take her sister and parents to France and shop the many flea markets, where you can find the prettiest things for no money. What I like most about this home is the floors, ceilings and bare wall in the kitchen. The painting in the living room is Christina’s own work, which adds a lot of personality to the place.
