tour a Swedish home

24/10/2007 DesignFlute 5 Comments

First you take the tour and then only I will let you know about the interior designer and owner of this home!

do you want to sit by the logs, on the floor…

or by the books, on the stairs…

taking in baked aroma or…

or dancing around blue column…

no, I won’t ask you to occupy this ?for long but I know you will…

Absolutely clean lines, just enough colours and a few objects of interest which makes this house alive with pristine buzz. Verdict is clear the owner of this home has a clarity, simplicity and elegance which sink in.

Purple of Purple Area is into interior designing besides her regular job and a blog!

(So, many of you know now!)

Recently when I stumbled upon her beautiful bilingual blog, I immediately started exploring. Her home just hooked me in.

And if you think she can’t revel in colours, geometry and flowers; here are a few more glimpses of her understated creativity…..

$ 100 bill – rug

A focus on cause and effect, innate curiosity, and lightheartedness – are what Pons calls the universal elements of design.

“You don’t have a specialization, so you can do anything.” This is Luis Guillermo Pons Mendoza, Miami based Venezuelan architect, designer for you. And he does everything with his very active imagination.

He is most hyped for his inflatable designs.

But for me Luis Pons’ modern interiors have the kind of details and simple complexity that makes him one of my favourites. The way he uses new materials is inspiration and he creates colours with play of light. A glimpse of his voids, touches, art and mischief ….

a modern villa. la! la!

29/08/2007 DesignFlute 5 Comments

This modernistic villa in Marseilles is adorned to explore the extreme simplicity with net and modern furniture.

The living room has tinted concrete floor, white silk curtains and a Gae Aulenti lamp. The rest is a play of light and net.

Architect Rudy Ricciotti is based in Bandol, France. This award winning architect’s work speaks radical and experimental language.

The net here speaks the radical language of shade and graffiti.

A camouflage of net on a steel rod surrounds the swimming pool.

The kitchen wall embraces work of Buraglio, transparent hood is from Driade and multifunctional piece of furniture is by Piero Lissoni.

The sun, sea and the scenic view come to visit this room everyday to decorate it because the room is done with splendid modesty.

His interiors quizs a little, sometimes teases a little and in between plays with whites or colours. Everything by New York based architect and interiors firm Shamir Shah Designs is achieved within modern connotations.

no trojan horse

My evergreen fascination for horses brings me to these discoveries.

This is a bedroom by Barbara Hawthorn. The fairytale stuff, my growing girls want-want.

The modern bedroom which I crave for.

Unter dem roten Pferd is a room in Berlin’s Arte Luise Kunsthotel. They have all rooms designed by different artists. This one is designed by Roman Schmelter.

Anybody wants this onix horse from Indonesia or the above painted wood rajasthani horse from India.

May all in this world get their prince charming. Amen!
