panton’s plastic chair

published March 12, 2009 in design furniture interiors | 17 comments


What do you think of the Plastic Chair? I never know what to think of this chair (too plastic?) but I do love them in this interior! Some background information: Danish designer Verner Panton spent many years thinking about how to produce a plastic chair moulded in one piece. Together with Vitra, he came up with the first prototypes in the 1960s and Panton Chair went into series production as of 1967. Unlike the cheaper Panton Chair Standard in solid plastic, Panton Chair Classic is made of rigid expanded plastic and has a lacquered surface.

I love this kitchen! It has a rustic charm but it still has a modern feel to it. This Victorian house located in Crouch End in London (UK). Tomorrow I will show you the rest of the house: every space is gorgeous! The old Aga stove is not only great for cooking but also gives a lot of warmth to the room.

bamboo house near the great wall of china

published March 5, 2009 in architecture interiors travel | 5 comments


At the foot of the Great Wall of China there are some ultra modern villas which can be rented. The most spectacular villa is the one designed by architect Kengo Kuma. The Japanese-inspired construction of bamboo and glass allows spectacular views of the Great Wall and the surrounding landscape.

The common parts of the house are connected through the principle of bamboo screens.

A contemporary Japanese tea house can be found in the outdoor area at the centre of the building. The equipment of the kitchen (image below) consists of a core module with integrated sink and cupboards made of white lacquered wood.

framed ikat textile as wall hanging

published March 4, 2009 in inspiration interiors walls | 5 comments


This image (featured in Elle Decor March 2009 issue) is from painter Anne Becker’s New York apartment. I love the framed antique ikat textile that is being used as a wall hanging. A beautiful French farm table is used as a desk. But my favorite objects in this room are definitely Anne’s dogs Seymour and Leo!

dream loft in brooklyn, ny

published March 4, 2009 in architecture inspiration interiors | 7 comments


Loftlife magazine sent me their newsletter which contained images of this gorgeous loft in Brooklyn, NY. The loft has been designed by New York based design firm Ochs Design was given. The assignment given was to convert a 2700 sq-ft abandoned warehouse space into an artist’s loft for a Williamsburg pioneer.

Isn’t this bedroom just gorgeous?

Ochs Design restored as much of the original bones of the space as was feasibly possible for their client, including keeping the original asphalt floor in the painting studio. The “platforms replace walls to define living space” allowing the paintings and artwork to dominate the interior.
