The guy above is Mark Howorth, hanging out in the kitchen of his London duplex. He is the founder of Callender Howorth and shares his time between London and Nice in the South of France, working on design projects across Europe. (Lucky guy!) I am very fond of his style – it’s classy and modern yet has some mid-century and antiques thrown in to mix things up.

Yes he does and his look is tailored and masculine but not stuffy and contrived. New York based interior designer Jon Call has a take on rooms that is stylish yet casual and never stuffy. Love the layout of the studio apartment at the beginning of this post. The screen is so clever. Mr Call Designs.

Just like friends of friends. People you get to know but don’t really know… if you know what I mean. Once again one of our friends from Freunde von Freunden have shared a few images from their latest interview and home and office tour. Patrice Bastian, creative director and architect, and Laetitia Schlumberger, fashion designer. An amazing house in the 10th arrondisement, Paris and an intiguing story of creative ideas and lasting love found in China. Just a tease here on Desire to Inspire. You’ll have to pop over to Freunde von Freunden to discover more. Photography by Fred Lahache. Story by Léa Munsch.

Artfully considered, distinctive in concept, Susan Manrao Design focuses on interiors spaces that convey warmth and character while incorporating innovative art installations and inventive technology. I like it alot – especially the warm, neutral colours.

Pattersons is an architecture firm from New Zealand that is responsible for the creation of some really spectacular homes. Not too fussy or over the top, they specialize in modern designs but keep it simple and elegant. The sheep seem to approve. 🙂
