Hamburg Apartment

There's nothing baroque about the neo-baroque apartment of ad-man Wolfgang Behnken of Young & Rubicam, shown below. It is rather an almost miesian gallery of good design, with pieces by the Eames, Florence Knoll, Milo Baughman and Mies as well as a fantastic coffee table by George Nakashima. There are also many outstanding lamps: especially those by Serge Mouille and Christian Dell.

The apartment is mostly painted white, with few carpets and textiles, which really puts focus on the design pieces.  I suppose it does, however, require a certain type of person to live in this sort of almost barren atmosphere, but that does not change the fact that it looks stunning. Mr. Behnken also seems to have two livingrooms - perhaps one being the gentleman's room?

The kitchen and bathrooms are also very plain with their white mosaic tiles, and chairs by brit minimalist Jasper Morrison. Notice the construction-site-type lamps above the mirrors, which are actually of a quite beautiful design.

Dealers frank and oliver displayed their gear like this at the FINE ART COLOGNE fair of 2009. And their shit was dope. I'm purposefully making them sound like drugdealers. They brought with them some desirable Fabricius/Kastholm stuff, a Wirkkala table and a Greta Magnusson Grossman lamp, the rare Kjærholm wall-mounted sofa, and that Wegner chair...


How about those Josef Frank wallpapers!

Square One

This blog takes it name from Le Corbusier's pavillion for the 1925 Paris Exhibition, as well as the arts magazine published by him and painter Amadee Ozenfant. Hubris, you may say, to compare myself to such a master. Well... :) My intention is just to display in my opinion the best of modernist interiors and furniture. I have collected pictures that I've found over the net for a couple of years now and for more or less egotistical reasons I want to archive them into themes of inspiration that I hope you the reader will appreciate as much as I have - and am. Which brings us to another point:

Most of the pictures that will be posted here are not mine. Due to me having just saved them to my hardrive I have not noted where they are from, and should the rightfull owners step forward, or want them removed, I will be more than happy to add names or cater to any oher need.

Thank you for reading.
