Barbapapa?

Browsing through my google reader today I was introduced to the beautiful work of Jay Jeffers through one of my favorite blogs La Dolce Vita.

I loved the style of Jeffers and this bedroom in particular which reminded me of a very nice hotel suite.

 First was this, very nice

Then this, really nice

Then this !! 

What are these two chairs exactly doing in this room? They reminded me of Barbapapa, if anybody is old enough to remember him. 

The chairs aside the work of Jeffers Group is outstanding do visit them.

Beautiful Libraries

I was so happy to discover a website completely dedicated to libraries. I am a book lover and going into a home that has a lot of books just makes me feel warm and some how closer to the owners. I also love designing libraries and it is always a nice challenge to come up with something different, warm and inviting and at the same works for the owner's needs.

For inspiration, Beautiful Libraries is a great place to start, it is even organized in a nice way.

Merry Christmas to all and hope 2012 is a beautiful year. Not the end of times, but the beginning of great new experience.

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

 

Love this minimal reception desk

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.

I would like to know more about this chair

Great wall treatment

Sexy Curvy

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 ?
