Volpe

Every once in a while you see photos that really make your heart jump. Sometimes you know what it is and sometimes it is just this inexplicable feeling, and this is what happens when I look at Steven Volpe’s work.

Square 9

… I like it

Sq1 

Sq2Love this minimal reception desk

Sq3

Sq4

I like almost everything about The Square Nine, but I really don't think this runner is the most practical thing for pulling those heavy suitcases, or even walking after a loooong evening out, if you get my drift !

Mirrors….Confusing ?

Lately, I have seen a lot of pictures of this penthouse in Berlin on many blogs and websites. At first I was very neutral about it, but the more I saw it the more it felt cold, and honestly a bit confusing, but then again lots of mirrors do that to me !

I imagined the grey skies of winter in Berlin all reflected inside my apartment and it felt even colder. Do you like ? Dislike ? More on (here)

Fashion & Crystal

One of my favorite glass and crystal companies Orrefors has teamed with Karl Lagerfeld to create a new collection. The result, beautifully elegant designs, just like his clothes.

More From Gary Hutton

As promised in my previous post, here are more photos from the work of Gary Hutton. I really like his work and there is this seamless quality that permeates throughout his projects. They are just beautiful to look at.

Gary Hutton

I have always loved the beauty of Gary Hutton’s designs. They are so elegant, but more importantly they invite to feel good. Don't you think? I admire the designs so much I will dedicate more than one post for his work.

Sexy Curvy

Vivian Beer

I like the curves of Vivian Beer’s “sculptural pieces. Some would argue that they are not comfortable, I would argue that not all furniture should follow function, sometimes form maybe the whole point.

I would not mind having this piece in a room on the side under a huge abstract painting. Visit her website for more beautiful sculptures.

2Michaels

I really, really like the work of the design studio 2Michaels. I like their palette, the sophistication and most of all the “natural” styling. the homes seem to be lived in and personal. Not dry and staged. Hope you like them 2.

Inside Out

Beautiful modern architecture bringing the outdoors indoors. I am sure this was styled for the photo shoot, I would add a bit of warmth without drastically touching the interior, still it is beautiful as is. What do you think ?

Wouldn’t it be fun to go to this dentist. I bet their magazines are also up to date.

Taste According To John Ruskin

“Taste is not only a part and index of morality, it is the only morality. The first, and last, and closest trial question to any living creature is "What do you like?" Tell me what you like, I'll tell you what you are” John Ruskin.

Do you think this opinion is true ?

Silly Questions Clients Ask

plug-socket-costume Source

Phone rings, yet again, on a BUSY day

Client “Hi Jimmy”

Me “Hi Mr. X”

Client “The guys are installing and I just wanted to ask, do we plug the table lamp to the socket on the left or the socket on the right”

My Mind “You can plug it in your  #$%#$%*&$#, that’s how it will really light up”

Me “The one on the left please”

Client “Thank you” with a smile in the voice “you’re a lifesaver”

Yup, that is what I am
