Volume within volume

Posted on Tue, 2 Nov 2021 by midcenturyjo

What was once a maze of disconnected rooms with a false ceiling above is now a stunning celebration of a quintessential Haussmannian apartment with it’s wedding cake icing ceiling and cornices. Modern living is delineated by a series of shelving walls that stand independently creating volumes within the a volume. It’s the perfect way to have your cake and eat it too.

A polished Polish apartment

Posted on Fri, 29 Oct 2021 by midcenturyjo

Vintage meets contemporary, saturated colour meets bright white. Think orange and mustard and avocado hues as well as Tobia Scarpa and Mario Bellini. You could be in the 1960s or 70s. A masterful mix in this renovated Warsaw apartment by Paradowski Studio.

A designer’s colourful home in Mexico City

Posted on Tue, 26 Oct 2021 by KiM

Last year I featured the pattern-a-licious Guatemalan home of designer Rodman Primack. It seems he has since packed up and moved to Mexico City where his new home is awash with colour and patterns and some groovy mid-century furnishings. So much fun!!! (Photos: Stephen Johnson)

It’s fresh and fun, colourful and sophisticated. It may be traditional but it’s certainly not fuddy duddy. Why it’s overstuffed with inspiration! Park Avenue Pied-à-Terre by CeCe Barfield.

An apartment in Biarritz inspired by the view

Posted on Thu, 14 Oct 2021 by KiM

You would think ocean views in an apartment in Biarritz would be the shining moment but this entire apartment is designed with the most exquisite attention to detail with lots of curves and colours and patterns inspired by the ocean and the views from the windows. An absolute gem inside and out. Designed by Claude Cartier. Photos by Francis Amiand.
