Good Fit

The villa below should have had some fitting furniture. Summin' like this hea:

Hans-Erik Johansson, Westberga.

Harry Bertoia, Knoll

Unknown, Swedish.

Fabricius/Kastholm, Nordisk solar.

Finn Juhl, Bovirke

And the floor should have been a carpeted, woven from jute or coconut or similar, like above, or here. "A rug on a rug?" you say? Perfeción, I say. With a Spanish accent.

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.

Gramercy Park Apartment

I just got back from New York, so in the near future there will probably be a couple of posts about the city that's admired by everyone.

Designed by Chris Kraig for SUITE New York. There is no question about the fact that the respect for the  modernist classics is ever-increasing. When will the general public starts showing the same apreciation for the buildings of the time? It will happen - it is just a matter of time.
