Modern apartment with a vintage touch

post
01-12-2012

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.

Plank Light by Northern Lighting

post
29-11-2012

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 !

French paradise in Denmark

post
24-11-2012

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.

Modern Kitchen with built in herb garden

post
21-11-2012

There’s something about this big, light kitchen, designed by Steininger that you just have to love. This luxurious area with metal, wood and white panels and natural wood floors even has a built in herb garden with special lighting to make the plants grow more. It’s nice to have some fresh herbs close by while cooking, but it also adds a splash of green to the otherwise natural and muted room, which makes it even nicer.

Shelf by Torafu Architects

post

I saw this shelf from Torafu Architects and thought it was quit interesting. It’s another product with a secret hiding place (as you might have noticed in my previous posts, I tend to like that). The small wooden cylinders contain a magnet. If you place the magnets on the right place of the shelf, you can pull it and the drawer will open. I think this is a very cute design.

Carbon Chair by Bert Jan Pot

post
13-11-2012

In the development of the Fiberglass DSR Chair by Charles Eames, more than fifty years ago, a carbon prototype of the chair was built. Till today, the prototype still stands because of it’s brilliant engineering. Bert Jan Pot designed the Carbon Chair in corporation with Marcel Wanders for Moooi, inspired by the carbon prototype Eames once created.
The pattern on the seat is very intriguing and reflects the strength pattern of the original DSR chair. Every point on the rim of the chair is connected with the four points connecting the seat to the base frame. But most of all, I think this chair is really pretty to look at.
