Designer’s own

Posted on Mon, 30 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

Designer Tim Pfeiffer of Hoedemaker Pfeiffer has crafted his own Seattle condo into a deeply personal reflection of layered design and lived experience. This restored 1920s residence balances historical character with modern utility, creating a warm and masculine retreat. Rich textures—bronze, leather, oak, stone, linen, and wool—anchor the interiors, while an eclectic, open layout encourages ease and conversation. Each room showcases Pfeiffer’s instinct for contrast and craftsmanship, from handwoven wall coverings to sculptural furniture. The result is a soulful, evolving sanctuary where function and beauty are seamlessly intertwined.

Albion Nord believes the most beautiful spaces are those with soul, more than just balance, proportion or historical context. Their design for Lords View One reflects this philosophy. With serene interiors crafted from marble, timber and bronze, each residence offers calm and character. Sliding, full-height doors frame sweeping views while ensuring privacy. Warm timber paneling replaces conventional white walls, unifying each space and creating a calm, textural environment of quiet sophistication and enduring quality.

Working on a Saturday

Posted on Sat, 28 Jun 2025 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 and there’s nowhere near as stylish as a designer’s own offices. The Studio by GACHOT.

Located on the border between Berlin Mitte and Kreuzberg, the apartment overlooks the historic courtyards of Zander&Palm with their soulful industrial brickwork. Bought as a dark and dusty attic within two years the space was transformed into a cosy and light-filled family dwelling with impressive ceiling heights. A warm palette thanks to the presence of various types of wood (oak, teak, palisander, etc.) makes bright hues and textures pop through experimental treatment of timber and material mixes as well as curated art pieces. With two small kids and regular dinner parties, the couple needed the kitchen to be both practical and joyful. Lacquered in solid colours, the joinery is also oak timber – similarly to the cabinetry made for the bathrooms and the bedroom. After 2,5 years of developing, the interiors feel lived in and very liveable – which is what Studio Bosko aims for with every design project they take on.
Love the playfulness and warmth imbued into this space. A wonderful and stylish place to raise a family. Photos: ONI Studio.

Crimson and steel

Posted on Wed, 18 Jun 2025 by midcenturyjo

ALL Design Studio, led by Amanda Lyon, refurbished and extended the ground floor of this Edwardian family home in Honor Oak, London. The brief centred on creating a sociable kitchen designed for entertaining, with a nod to commercial kitchens to suit the clients’ love of cooking. A rich tonal palette of crimson, burgundy, and berry adds warmth, contrasting beautifully with a striking stainless steel island.
