Hotelier André Balasz' apartment, with red Poul Kjaerholm PK-31's, on a red rug. Nice. 

Good design never dies, but colours, patterns and sometimes materials do come and go with fashions. Red leather is a material that judged by auction results evidently just isn't that hot right now. It's too bold, too shiny, too vintage car-seat-y. But Mr. Balasz has managed to offset all of this by placing his red - albeit muted red - Kjaerholm reading lounge on a matching red shag carpet, creating a cozy-corner that is both rero and very fresh. The backdrop of the very simple, geometric white bookshelves do their part, of course.

Red Hans J. Wegner CH-24 "Wishbone-chars", or "Y-chairs as we call them in scandinavia. Not quiete as poetic. See the red vintage Wegner chairs here.

Nice space, great use of colour and great collection of industrial furniture, including a rare collapsable Jean Prouvé 'Standard'-chair.

She's the best thing that has happened to music for some time. And she's a redhead :)

I never could have imagined...

 

...that I would want to own a pair of red-painted Wegner chairs. But these two JH-719, first produced by cabinetmaker Johannes Hansen in 1968, are just striking in their red paint - totally original - with flagline backrest and seat, brass rivets, and canvas cushions. They seem very comfortable too - a feat too often overlooked in design furniture.
