Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 12 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

It’s like I say week in week out. If you have to drag yourself into work on a weekend it helps if it’s somewhere stylish. Metafore (an events, seminars, meeting space) by Paris-based Factory.

Dusk House

Posted on Fri, 11 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

“Dusk House is a tranquil, elegant and quiet celebration of passing time, emotion and shadow. Once an unassuming but tired single-storey residence, this house has been thoughtfully and carefully crafted into an evocative and serene family home. Dusk House embraces light and dark, play and rest, indulgence and restraint.”

A sad 60s house is now open and filled with light, bold and refined. Dusk House by Madelaine Blanchfield Architects.

As only the French can do

It’s a cultural thing. They just have it. That certain je ne sais quoi. Stylish, chic, with a sense of place and purpose. Like this apartment in Ternes by Paris-based interior designer Marion Collard.

Home and Away

Posted on Mon, 7 Nov 2022 by midcenturyjo

“Sequenced over three levels, this dream-like oasis weaves tangible tales of faraway lands and ancient cultures through eclectic manipulations of materials and styles to convey charismatic reinterpretations of the past.”

It’s fun, fresh, quirky, spirited, confident and trend-setting. It’s mad. It shouldn’t work. It’s a triumph. “Home and Away” by in my opinion the most exciting Australian interior designer Yasmine Saleh Ghoniem of YSG.

Mediterranean revival

Posted on Mon, 31 Oct 2022 by KiM

This Mediterranean Revival project by designer Sarah Solis is everything I love in interiors these days. Antique tile, black and white checkerboard floor, rust coloured velvety sofas, wrought iron railings, ethnic textiles, copper tub, outdoor zellige tile fountain…. all the goodness you would find in a Mediterranean villa and more.
