New Work - Residential Furnishings

Here I am finally getting around to taking some photos of recent work! This residence has been an on-going collaboration with Minty Architecture and Design, ie. my architect sister. We have worked with these clients over several years through different design and building stages - it has been great seeing how this home has progressed. Earlier this year, I worked with the clients on their furnishings for the dining and living areas - here are the results.

Office and Showroom of Muuto

As I mentioned earlier this week, I have been working on an office fit-out and while I was researching I came across the lovely office-slash-showroom space for Scandinavian furniture company, Muuto. Last year, writer and artistic director Emilie Gupta had the opportunity to visit Muuto in Copenhagen and wrote of her experience for Décor8.
The showroom and offices let the pieces from the Muuto range to speak for themselves - how lovely it would be to work among these pieces. Read (and see) more here.

Leather Chairs

Borge Mogensen Spanish Chairs in the sitting room

Check out this Australian home from The Design Files this week - it is leather chair galore! The interior of this house is fabulous (no surprise as it is the home of furniture designer, Mark Tuckey and his family), however it was the leather chairs that caught my eye.
The chairs were designed by Borge Mogensen, a Danish furniture designer who was among the generation of furniture designers (including Arne Jacobsen and Hans Wegner) that introduce the concept of 'Danish Modern' internationally. His 'Spanish Chair' (see above) were designed in 1959 and still look amazing today. Explore the rest of the home here.

Happy Friday

The latest Lonny magazine is out and these two 'chair, matching painting and storage' arrangements caught my eye. Have a great weekend all.

Spindle Back Chairs

I love the use of the spindle back dining chairs in these two diverse restaurants from opposite sides of the world. I think there may be a childhood influence here as I seem to recall a similar chair when I was younger. The chairs rock in the black, whites and greys.
