The architect’s home 2

Posted on Wed, 4 Jul 2012 by midcenturyjo

Still continuing the relationship that the architect has with their home space. In the previous post it was b-arch’s Alessandro Capellaro. Now it is his colleague and co-founder at b-arch Sabrina Bignami’s personal space. Casa Orlandi, a late-18th century palazzo was underwent a minimalist restoration acknowledging its history and the passage of time. Inserted into this time capsule is a modern home of contemporary design classics and found objects. It is as if the old house is a stage and the contents a set on which to play out the owner’s life. Whatever it is, it is a fabulous juxtaposition of old beauty and cool new style.

Mikkel Vang encore

Posted on Tue, 3 Jul 2012 by midcenturyjo

It’s the light, I think. soft, syrupy, seductive light. The rooms as retreat. Retreat from the world, the harsh light, the overwhelming “outside”. It’s about haven and home and wishes and dreams. Fantasy and fact. Too much? What about this…. it’s all about a beautiful picture. Time to take another look at the portfolio of Mikkel Vang, world traveller and dream weaver.

Girly girl

Posted on Tue, 3 Jul 2012 by midcenturyjo

A tutti-fruitti confection of spritzy pastels, pattern riot and frills and frou frou. Girly girl to the max and boho to boot. Want a getaway that takes you beyond your comfort zone or need a break where everything is maxed to OTT pretty just the way you secretly fantasised? Either way this place is pure saccharine sexy. St Charles Square, another property through onefinestay.
