Furniture, furnishings, and interior design

I prefer indirect as well, we have an Aton Terra in our living room and with a 200W energy saver halogen it lights up the entire room nicely.

I could be wrong, but I think it's called caring for the environment.

Thats a good point!

minimalist as in white? i dont know who makes them but there are a lot of tradition looking all white lamps that look kind of cool paired with minimal furniture. the look might be too 'contemporary' though.

lamps are so hard

I kind of like this one. It's fairly minimal and soft so it probably won't stand out... if you have white walls. hah.



this noguchi one is cool too but it might look too modern if that's what you're avoiding.



i dont know why i keep picking paper ones.

Noguchi paper lamps are beautiful.

I have the Akari egg one and it emits a nice warm light.

How about the Castiglioni Arco lamp?

My favorite from Prouve

^ thats cool, I always liked wall fixed lamps like that

Another Modernist go-to is Serge Mouile, whose lamps are now being reproduced at crazy prices, but obviously much less than auction for originals.


The rotating sconces are very nice as well:

The dual sconce fixture is lovely een. I sit waiting patiently for your collab project.

Any ideas for Shoe/Boot storage? My shoe collection has outgrown the waredrobe space allocated to me by my girlfriend (!!) so I am looking at alternates - I would be particularly interested in something that doesn't have to be tucked away in a waredrobe, but allows the shoes to be on display.

How much space do you have? If you can place them out to view, stacked cube bookcases are the perfect size for pairs of boots. I just downsized to a (very, very small) lower manhattan studio... I'm still trying to improvise storage space for both my footwear and my clothing.

I've been looking quite a lot on modern scandinavian furnish the last weeks, and there's this new danish label Hay that wants to go back to the glory days of danish design, with Poul Kjaerholm and all those other great guys.

here's some of my favourite pieces from them.

Loop Stand Clothingrack



Loop Stand dining table



Metro stool (designed to look like subway station maps)



Plopp stool



Cano shelves



Hee lounge chair



Ray lounge chair

[lowrey]

I have to say that the only piece I like is the last chair, rest is a bit too wannabe retro modern for me

[bestial]

that's what I like about it! everything is a bit too much... in a good way. :) they also does some really futuristic stuff that look like they might come from a kubrick movie. don't really care for them in other sense then the kubrickthingiee
