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 designer’s pared-back home

Pared-back, carefully curated and immediately welcoming. The restrained colour palette is elevated by the layering of texture and natural materials. Timeless, elegant, comfortable. Mandeville Canyon by Caroline Irvin Davis.

A polished Polish apartment

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)

Borders are opening and people are starting to travel again. We’re not quite there in Australia yet but we are edging closer. In the meantime I’m daydreaming of a getaway to Poland so I can stay at the mid century meets modern, Soviet Brutalist design era meets Western luxury,  inter-war Polish modernism that is the PURO Hotel in Kraków by Paradowski Studio.
