Today's Brittish Place

The Hipster, Retro-chic vibe of the Homewood House in London make it totally dreamy.

I cannot even begin to tell you how much I dig the first image: the mid-century mustard chair, the gallery wall, the lamp, the white floors, the soft grey wall......

Then... there is the tulip side table and the GORGEOUS pink sofas. The rusty mirror and the charcoal rug

The foyer features ceiling details to die, more antiques and a fox!

Many more interesting elements in this shot..... house is a little creepy and fabulous at the same time.

 

mustard and grey........... Genius.

 

I'd totally break into this room manana.... look at the gorgeous black swan chair, the ceramic dogs, the lamps, the long table and the priceless assortment of chairs. Not to mention the chandeliers!!

 

Is this bedroom perfection, or WHAT!

 

A tribute to the classics: The Swan Chair

This time.... One of my favorite chairs of all times: The Swan by Arne Jacobsen. He designed this beauty in 1958 for the Radisson SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen. It's manufactered by Republic of Fritz Hansen.

Along with the swan Jacobsen also developed the Egg chair which is equaly amazing... and further furniture which mostly did not get into mass production, like the Drop. The couch of the swan is still in production and i do love it too, its gorge.

The guy surely was a Genius. As a designer, Jacobsen made prototypes for furniture, textiles, wallpaper, silverware etc. Among his most famous designs are The Ant™, Series 7™, The Egg™ and The Swan™ , and the tableware Cylinda-Line

How about this stunning red chair.... a whole new level of awesomeness if you ask me!

They are most certainly timeless beauties and combine modernist ideals with a most inspiring Nordic love of naturalism.

I love this one and the Barcelona Chair.

And you????

A tribute to the classics: The Barcelona Chair

My favorite chair of all times could be the Swan. And I will definitely pay tribute to that beauty very soon. But if I had to pick another favorite it would {no doubt} be the Knoll Barcelona Chair.

Created by genius Ludwig Mies van der Rohe for the 1929 Barcelona Exposition... "the Barcelona chair features the pure compositional structure that now epitomizes Modern architecture"

{no kidding!}

The child's Barcelona chair and stool are 85% scale of the original!

Exclusive manufacturing and sales rights accorded to Knoll by the designer in 1953 AND
KnollStudio logo and Ludwig Mies van der Rohe's signature stamped into the frame of each piece.

Interested???

The Stainless steel Beauty will set you back about $6907
While the Child Chair another $3840

YIKES! But totally worth it {if you ask me}

Why you asked? Because, this chair holds the Museum of Modern Art 1977 Award. That's why.


Check out Knoll you guys!!!

If I had all the money in the world...

I'd definitely buy my darling boy some extra stylish designer furniture via Little Nest... An Australian company that pays tribute to everyone's favorite mid century classic designer chairs for kids. Can you believe it??? They are not only stylish, but fun and functional... seriously I die for these.

There are: Mini Eames, Yolk, mini Eggs... you name it.

Would you spend some serious cash on these????
{That adorable Mini Eames is $900 usd! Yikes!}

OH! I want to sit down!!!

Good day dears!!! I am normally crazy about anything that's sweet and romantic, soft colors and relaxed looks... the 'home' feel.... and I don't often find myself attracted to minimalist elements, but some designers / architects have done some amazing things, that even though they were done years ago, they still remain fresh and modern. I am a big fan of Arne Jacobsen's chairs, and the other day, checking out one of my favorite sites www.trendir.com, I found some truly beautiful examples of Jacobsen's fine work. Here is the Swan chair in one of its most beautiful presentations and bellow the Egg chair with a really funky twist. LOVE'em!!!
