Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 18 Feb 2023 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. Fuego Camina Conmigo x SANCAL by Isern Serra.

The designers knew they had a gem in the rough. The apartment in a functionalist building was derelict but as they stripped it back they discovered a ribbed ceiling and massive concrete columns. Reconfiguring the layout the main public area is an open-plan living, dining and kitchen area that embraces its industrial elements while softening them ever so slightly for family living.

Shaking the rainbow

Posted on Fri, 14 Oct 2022 by midcenturyjo

Hands up who is tired of beige-on-beige monochrome rooms? Hands up who craves colour and fun? Justine Guillermou of Rainbow Shaker is a French interior designer who recently moved to the UK. Her work is colourful and playful incorporating raw and industrial materials like wood, metal and construction materials like OSB. She shared one of her recent projects Bow Brook, an apartment in a converted schoolhouse. What a transformation! Tired, nondescript spaces are now vibrant and fun.

Moody hues in a penthouse by Jane Hallworth

Posted on Fri, 26 Aug 2022 by KiM

A cinematic color palette of olive green distemper is the interior version of a camera obscura; moody hues urge one to focus attention on a world beyond – city lights and formidable views –before turning your attention to the crafted interior. Designed specifically for entertaining, this space is intimate during the day and dashing at night. In this 4,000 square foot space, a gathering of people and fine art by masters such as Louis Bourgeois, Mark Grotjahn and Jean Dubuffet mix well in purposefully rustic, modern comfort.  A layered collection of textured textiles, industrial, antique and modern pieces contrast the sleek lines of this penthouse, creating an environment that is at once studious and negligently glamorous.
I love this industrial, rustic and edgy look. Designed by Jane Hallworth.

The Event

Stark, brutal and beautiful. The 10AM Event Space, Athens, Greece by Studio Andrew Trotter provides a stunning shell with its raw concrete, corten soften by sofas, curtains and antique furniture. The space can be divided and is available for events, exhibitions, special dinners, shootings and other creative purposes.
