Loft 24-7, Sao Paulo

This engaging loft represents the beauty of Mother Nature. Architect Fernanda Marques designed this space around the concept of being fully connected to the environment and one of the predominant indications for that, as you can see, is being exposed to as much natural daylight as possible. The architect also managed to set a visionary uniformity by the use of what you would normally see indoors, in terms of furniture, outdoors and vice versa, which is personally what caught my attention- I simply love that idea.


"Being inside feeling like one is outside. I believe that to be a key issue in understanding the interior design being produced today. In times when environmental awareness is growing, and, of course, also the desire to be close to nature”

Cubico

Italian designer Alessandro Di Prisco created this funky geometric looking piece of furniture "Cubico" that has more than one function depending on how it is positioned! 
"Its design is produced by the subtractive process, progressively removing material from an accomplished figure, the cube, getting some voids, fissures in its linearity...It can certainly be a magazine rack, a coffee table, a stool or why not just a cube!”


Basic and functional is it not?

Google Desk

If you have an office and you are into the futuristic look, this is the desk for you! Designed by Danny Velvet, the sinuous advanced Google desk is the most exemplary piece of furniture I have seen so far. I'm really impressed by this design, especially the way the wood storage has been assimilated. I love the different color combinations and it is also available in various lacquer and matte finishes.

The Grahams Residence

Ooh la la! I am in awe of this very contemporary and sophisticated residence of The Grahams designed by E.Cobb Architects! I have always visualized my future home looking somewhat like this one, especially the idea of displaying certain spaces as different sized boxes overlapping one another, looking rather complex, this design has been executed beautifully.
Presenting concrete, wood, open spaces, an abundance of natural light shining through the translucent walls and stunning high ceilings, this modern living space has been implemented to make a fashionable statement. I love it! I love it! I love it!

Take A Walk Into Lisa Perry's Beach Home

Fashion designer Lisa Perry shows you how her prominent mod signature style is also demonstrated through her vibrant beach home, located in North Haven, New York.
What I really like about her home is the fact that it is a minimalist kind, and its pretty evident that Perry, working with designers Tony Ingaro and Alexia Kondylis, were able to perfectly convey that with the kind of furniture they had picked and placed in certain areas of the space. Check it out!

Celebrity Homes: Jennifer Lopez

Jennifer Lopez's California home was recently featured in Veranda magazine titled 'Serene Glamour'. I have to admit that when I was going through the pictures I was rather astonished to find that the gorgeous, lively and worldly American artist lives in a home filled with warmth and tranquility. 
The creative interior designer Michelle Workman renovated the entire house in the year 2010, conveying that the star is what her home represents. 
"It's sort of Jennifer in a nutshell—she has a romantic streak."
What makes this home even more appealing is the touch of Art Deco that seems to be a recurring theme in almost every room, preserving that certain flow throughout the house.

Can you tell the time?

Young Irish Designer James Tobin has created an innovative clock influenced by the people of the city who are endlessly on the go. 


 "The Mhin clock documents time with ambiguity to help relax you and keep you from constant worry about the time. Mhin displays time in a linear fashion with silence instead of the constant ticking reminder of time going by."


Although I really like the concept behind this design, I think I might prefer to know the exact time. However when you don't need the time, this piece of work could be portrayed as conceptual art.

Green Couch

I just came across the website Green Couch, an interior design company based in San Francisco, California, consisting of gifted characters working with one another to form "interiors that are sophisticated, relaxing and inspiring."
While looking through their portfolio I was stunned at how well the designers managed to convey such a chic look with a touch of spirit. I was mainly attracted to their choice of colours within those houses; simply neutral and serene that emit comfort and class.

Love.
