A Room with a View – no.2

A room full of treasures! Another room I love which features a number of Mid Century Modern pieces like the lovely brown Eames combined with modern design such as the bright red Ikea PS Cabinet. Just shows how so many different styles can work in a small space when put together correctly!

Photo taken from ‘The New Apartment – Smart Living in Small Spaces’, a great book which I recommend to anyone, big house or small!

Form Us With Love Work Lamp

formus formus2

Carrying on the Eames wire based theme, I thought I would show you all this stylish version of the traditional Work lamp.

As described by the Swedish design team Form Us With Love;

“the traditional construction lamp is a brilliant thing, you can hang it, put it on the shelf or on the floor. You can drop it, treat it rough and it uses a minimum of materials for a maximum numbers of functions. It deserved a better appearance.”

I’m thinking a line of these above a dining table with some white Harry Bertoia chairs?!!!
