Displaying posts labeled "Mid-century"

Some random googling the other day led me to this incredible Brooklyn loft and I had to share it with you all. It is the home of Brin Reinhardt and Nathan Ursch of Breuckelen Berber – 960 sq ft of gorgeous loftiness located in a converted sandpaper factory. They have it all decked out with to-die-for classic mid-century pieces that create such a vivacious, eye-catching space. And OMG, their cats are named Charles and Ray (the Eameses). Gawd I love this!

If you are in the market for some cool furnishings as seen above but do not quite have the budget for the real deal, Rove Concepts is a manufacturer of high quality Mid century iconic reproductions (Eames Lounge Chair Replica, Saarinen Dining Table Replica, Barcelona Chair and tons more). Check them out!

I thought I would revisit the work of Parisian architecture and design firm Laplace since it has been about a year since Jo featured their work. Their aesthetic is eccentric and a glam version of modernism which lends itself so well to the absolutely stunning architecture (first few photos – *GASP*) that can be found in Parisian apartments. And I’m kind of loving the bizarre art installation in the photo above.

Retrolicious brought back to life in Aldgate in the Adelaide Hills, South Australia. This 70’s architect designed home (Hassell & Partners) has been lovingly brought back to life by the current owners. True to its groovy heritage baby without too much cliché creeping in. Just wish the majority of the photos were as good as the few that were obviously taken for editorial or portfolio reasons. A big thanks to Deb for stalking this brown brick beauty for us. Would it surprise you that I want to move in? Link here while it lasts.

There is a part of me deep down that will always love mid-century homes decorated top to bottom in retro furnishings. Brazilian architect/designer Guilherme Torres has been featured here several times (my last post here) and often creates vibrant, modern, industrial spaces filled with colourful elements. This time he has the colourful elements in al their glory, but this time the architecture has a more mid-century vibe. Super funky.

A modern extension to an historic home all with a retro riff. More from Klopper & Davis Architects. Are you longing for pressed metal ceilings like I am?

(P.S. I know some of you are having issues seeing Kim’s pictures but is anyone having problems seeing mine?)
