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.

Balls & Boobs

BB

Too many balls and boobs for one room, don't you think ?

But I have to say that the rest of the house has some cool elements, and some not so cool elements. You decide. More pictures at The Designerpad

Good Curves

I really like the fluidity of this design especially that it is made of steel, I would have changed the name and made something more ummmm… “fluid” ?

Warm Buns

radiator-chair

Not only do I not know where to place this “radiator” in any room but what may have bothered me more is the look on this guy’s face and where his hand is. Well, I guess he is wondering about what is happening to his sperm count with all the heat.

Why do we need a radiator chair ?

God’s Waiting Room

To introduce his new Moon chair, Japanese designer Tokujin Yoshioka filled Moroso’s showroom with mist and light. I love the chair and I love the idea of the backlit mist in the presentation, like a 4D movie theatre. Some might think it is eerie, I think it looks surreal, and will definitely create an “experience”. Now, whether people will enjoy it or not, I don't know.

The Brick Screen by Eileen Gray, re-released by Classicon at this years Milan Fair. Gray's Brick Screen was originally designed in 1922-1925. Proof that good design cannot be just a fad.

Rabih Hage

The work of Rabih Hage has always intrigued me. He has a beautiful unexpected way of combining modern with classical without looking cliche.

New from Anthropologie. What do these chairs remind you of ? If you knew that they were for $1898 would you still remember the same thing ?

Missing Winter Already?

No I am not, but this room in a project in Italy by Jeff Andrews has always made me feel very warm and cozy, and wanting snow outside. Plus I really like the treatment around the fireplace and this rocking chair.

No, No, No.

And this dresser made the cut?

And we get a close up too. Just in case you wanted details

Sorry, but sticking ugly Liberty fabrics on an Ikea dresser should not be a published design statement. This should not be encouraged and should come with “Do not try this at home” warning.
