A Room with a View – no.1

This is the first room in my new ‘A Room with a View’ series. Highlights range from the obvious Eames Lounge Chairs and Arco Flos floor lamp to the beautiful stain glass window in the adjoining room.

The different textures and colours give the room so much depth which make it so inviting and you can’t help but admire the small details like the edging on the archway.

I could get lost in this picture for hours!

Robin Day brightens up our day!

The Brits answer to Eames! I am loving these bright Robin Day Hille Polo Chairs and at around £40 each on ebay they are a complete steal. Now all we need is the sunshine to go with them (in the UK)!

Eero Aarnio’s Bubble Chair

mid-century-modern-womb-chairs

A sixties icon, the ‘Bubble’ chair is a serious design classic that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

I think it looks as good today as it did back in the Pop Art era and the space age design takes on a new dimension when placed close to modern technology such as the flat screen TV as in the photo above.

There are many reproductions on the market today like the one being sold at Vertigo Interiors, just a shame I don’t have the ceilings for it!
