Chair bookcase by Gail Peter Borden

I love this Chair bookcase by Gail Peter Borden  I just found today.

Divided into three systems, there is [1] a cockpit chair that has an adjustable angle of repose and uses a compressive slotted connection, [2] a structural frame and cover/cloak that uses a fingered connection, and [3] an infill shelving system that deploys a pegged connection. The 237 books complete the remainder of the composition.

This was found on yankodesign store

Read your bookcase from Saporiti

I really love this bookcase, great fun... Of course you could spell other words and have some reall fun with it..

The idea is so simple and could almost fit in anywhere from a class room, funky office or home.

The Read your bookcase from saporiti is designed by Roberto Saporiti and Eva Alessandrini.

One massive problem is to check out this bookcase and other great ideas and design from the italian designer Saporiti you have to visit one of the worst sites ever.. ah well. here is the url: http://www.saporiti.net/

An amazing mid-century modern home mixed with victorian glamour

Something yummy for you...
from Loft Life Magazine

"Charoonkit Thahong’s New York loft mixes Hollywood regency with mid-century modern overtones to create a space that celebrates good design. Some gems include the 1969 VP Globe lamp by Verner Panton, the Fortuny Moda lamp, the Knoll Tulip armless chairs and the oh-so-fun black Victorian love-seat. Thahong, an art director for R/GA, has managed to infuse warmth into the otherwise over-sized, industrial space (located in Hell’s Kitchen) adding subtle touches of glamour to finish off the look. It’s proof that life without walls doesn’t mean sticking to only one aesthetic; Thahong’s space is fit for both Charles Eames and Marie Antoinette!"

...swoon...




If you live in a loft, open floor plan, or studio, book cases without a solid back allow light through but create a divider.


..a pretty corner...

Here's a few pics from a tribeca loft, also as seen in Loft Life magazine

What do you think of the curtain divider with artwork displayed on it like a wall?

Inspiration 1.27

I'm not sure what it is, but I'm totally digging deep, dark purples this week. I guess it just fits this moody and romantic time of year. I love, love, love how the color plays off of the warm and weathered wood on the floor and ceiling here.
