Seen at Canadian House & Home, totally loving the way Massimo Vitali got in the mix… and that they keep their sheep in the living room!

Black and white is often right… as can be seen viewing this beautiful parisian flat designed by E-C-O-L-E. I love love love the stairs!

Facing the Eglise Saint-Gervais on one side and the Hôtel de Ville de Paris on the other, this 95 sqm apartment occupies the whole of the the two top floors of an 18th century building. The project comprised a full restructuration of the existing space and the conception of some design elements. The first floor, formerly consisting of  a long corridor and four rooms has been largely cut open. Thus, the entrance, the living room and the kitchen form one single continuity. The guest space (a bedroom and a bathroom) has been built on the same floor. A steel staircase links the living room to the owner’sv private space underneath the roof.

These are going to be the trend interior design colors of 2010… and yes… I just totally made that up now.

Diesel might not be the hippest Denims anymore… but their indigo infused furniture line is “all that”

Check out their website and find out how Diesel, Moroso and Foscarini interpretate “Successfull Living” for your home.

Or as we say… “Wie ein Elefant im Porzellanladen” wouldn’t prevent me from packing my bags and moving straight into the Fabergé shop recently opened in Geneva!

Who would have expected such a look from a company who’s mostly famous for laying eggs since something like 1882…

Let’s just say celebrated Apple Design Wunderkind Jonathan Ive “might” be aware of the work Dieter Rams did for Braun… which in the end, makes Apple even smarter.

Spending 4h in a bar yesterday with ONE barstool… cause all the others broke… inspired me to post the Mater Stool. It’s an absolute beauty and i would not have minded spending those 4h sitting on one of them.

Robin Grasby designed this Homework Desk with designers, architects, illustrators, teachers, and students in mind. It might not make your kids scream “Homework… Yes please!” But you have to admire this adaptable work desk from a guy who just graduated school himself.

Paul Barbera’s brilliant photography project visually documents the creative environment… or as us regulars call it “workspace” of artists and creatives. I especially love the home of Melbourne’s “3 Deep Design”.
