Design from Taiwan

Posted on Thu, 19 Mar 2015 by KiM

Whether their firm’s name is HAO Design Studio or Ivan House Design or just House Design, I am smitten with the creativity and edginess of this Taiwan based interior design firm. These is a smattering chosen from several projects, but they mostly all have a masculine vibe, with industrial touches and are hip and fun for what I presume is a young-ish clientele. Cool work. 

The Ottawa Antique & Vintage Market is back!

Posted on Thu, 19 Mar 2015 by KiM

It’s that time of the year again! The The Ottawa Antique & Vintage Market is back at The Fieldhouse at Carleton University this weekend and my husband (Daff Design) will have a booth there again this year for his vintage updated radios (he has sooooo many this time – and I love them all!) so I will be keeping him company, taking photos and shopping my little heart out! The show was pretty rad last year, and there are some new vendors this year that I am totally stoked to scope out. 

Here are just a few of the radios my husband will be selling there (all previously non-working – he guts them and puts in really good speakers, an amp and Bluetooth for a rocking sound)

How about a little flashback from last year’s show?

I snagged this dressform before the show even opened!

I always spend way too much time drooling over the modernist/brutalist jewelry. And I inevitably end up buying a piece to add to my collection.

I have a thing for vintage cutlery. I would love to find more so I will be on the lookout. 

These were beautiful. Reminds me of the few years my parents lived in Yellowknife when I was attending Carleton U. 

This flat file cabinet was across from the Daff Design booth so I stared at it with lust in my eyes for 2 full days. 

The show is this Saturday 10-5 and Sunday 10-4 at The Fieldhouse (Bronson at Sunnyside) where there will be 30,000 sq ft of awesomeness!!! Stop by the Daff Design booth and say hi!

The 40sqm apartment of Paris-based interior designer Charlotte Vauvillier. A perfectly formed little gem of bespoke furniture and fittings accented with midcentury pieces. Small is beautiful.

The Recycled House

Posted on Thu, 19 Mar 2015 by midcenturyjo

Built from recycled materials and designed to accommodate the owners’ love of warehouse living the Recycled House in Perth, Western Australia is by Etica Studio. While the design takes its reference from the surrounding art deco buildings the result is contemporary and stylish open plan living with sustainability in mind.

Don’t be shy

In these spaces, someone was not shy with colour – whether in large or small doses. A little colour pick-me-up for your afternoon. From the portfolio of photographer Thomas Loof
