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.

It’s a chilly day in my part of the world. Winter sunlight fights winter winds and the only thing that is warm is the end of my red nose from all the rubbing with a tissue. A bad case of flu needs rest and fluids and cheering up. What does this have to do with the über talented London based photographer Matt Clayton? Nothing much except that his wonderful portfolio is just the tonic I need to make it through the rest of today. Thank you Matt. Now if you’ll excuse me I need to go to bed.

Your portfolio is brilliant! The colour, it’s graphic quality, the sense of fun, the punch of personality these photos pack. You’ve put a smile on my face and a couple of decorating ideas into my files. Fabulous photography by Kat Teutsch.
