lisa perry’s ny loft

Posted on October 31, 2008 by Danielle| 15 Comments


Fashion designer Lisa Perry is known for her bright colored and retro style fashion and accessories. You can see this signature style also in the interior design of her apartment in New York.

This loft is a mix of sixties fashion with Pop Art and vintage furniture. It is obvious that Lisa Perry is a Pop Art collector!

I love the artwork in this apartment and isn’t that large rug stunning?

This gorgeous loft has been featured in New York Apartments.

hiroshige’s edo: ukiyo-e woodblock prints of tokyo

Posted on July 16, 2008 by Danielle| 3 Comments


‘Hiroshige’s Edo: Masterful ukiyo-e woodblock prints of Tokyo in the mid-19th century’ is a new book from Taschen which contains the most gorgeous images. Literally meaning “pictures of the floating world”, ukiyo-e refers to the famous Japanese woodblock print genre that originated in the 17th century and is practically synonymous with the Western world’s visual characterization of Japan. Because they could be mass produced, ukiyo-e works were often used as designs for fans, New Year’s greeting cards, single prints, and book illustrations, and traditionally they depicted city life, entertainment, beautiful women, kabuki actors, and landscapes. This reprint is made from one of the finest complete original sets of woodblock prints belonging to the Ota Memorial Museum of Art in Tokyo.

Hiroshige (1797-1858) was one of the last great artists in the ukiyo-e tradition. Though he captured a variety of subjects, his greatest talent was in creating landscapes of his native Edo (modern-day Tokyo) and his final masterpiece was a series known as “One Hundred Famous Views of Edo” (1856-1858). The stunning artwork in the book would be perfect from framing, that is if you don’t mind taking out pages out of this €150 book.

arte luise kunsthotel, berlin

Posted on March 11, 2008 by Danielle| 5 Comments


Dozens of artists, mainly German, decorated the rooms of Arte Luise Kunsthotel in Berlin, Germany. After the fall of the Berlin Wall, artists camped out in this neoclassical building in the Mitte district of East Berlin until it evolved into a hotel in 1999.

All rooms were decorated by a renown artist, whereby the entire room was included in the concept. Guests walking into a room at the hotel find themselves within a work of art. Each room is unique, each room an artistic proposition, a museum, a gallery, an artwork and a place to inhabit.

This has been made possible by over 50 artists who accepted the hotel’s invitation to make a contribution. In designing different rooms artists have created scenarios that go beyond their work in the studio and reflect on the time, place, and situation of the traveler. The entire room is taken into consideration, usually including the furniture and other decorations. The artists receive approx. 5% of the profit from “their” room as payment a one-time compensation for materials and other costs, and a number of free overnight stays.

Visit the hotel’s website to see more of the rooms, or to make a reservation.
