Introducing New Colections Home Interior Design

The 25th street residence is a 260m² home in Santa Monica, California by architects Shimizu + Coggeshall. The modern addition was meant to simultaneously contrast and complement the original 1920’s suburban residence. The small unused spaces were reconfigured to handle a variety of programme and improve the relationship with the outdoors.

Located on an ironshore bluff on the Caribbean coast of Grand Cayman, the house is formed as a response to the nature of the site. The house, designed by architects YAR+D, is set on the highest point on a narrow plot, is oriented to receive the tradewinds via a clerestory of fixed louvres. The material palette of flat white paint and glistening dark plaster grounds the house to its environs and within the evolving idiom of Caribbean modernism.

One of the most iconic chairs copied by millions and millions of companies but this is the real Dodo by Cassina

Designed by no other than Toshiyuki Kita
http://www.toshiyukikita.com/works/18.html
In 1998 for Cassina.

The Dodo is so iconic that many of the design museums hold it on show.

The crossover of the space age and the modern contemporary style are what make this one of the most iconic chairs.

Will suit not just living rooms but found in many a office and bedroom.

I Just came accross this Side Unit / Cupboard / Cabitnet called the L-Serie from a dutch brand called Pastoe.

Sadly the site has no information about the product (that I can find) but some amazing picture if this side unit.

A bit about Pastoe "Simplicity, timelessness, quality and craftsmanship have all been at the centre of Pastoe's philosophy for more than ninety years now. Since we were founded in 1913, we have been making progressive contemporary furniture that pays due attention to tradition and craftsmanship. And that applies as much to our cabinet systems and seating as to our tables."

See the L-serie here: http://www.pastoe.com/en/9-collection/7-cupboards/9-l-serie/150-lj18-styling

Checkout the entire range here: http://www.pastoe.com

More to come from Pastoe as I really like this stuff!!

Such a funky looking sofa. The morfeo looks like some sort of alien or spaceship from a distant plant but no its a sofa bed.

With the molded lights it removes the need for bed side table or lamps.

You can see the full range from Domodinamica which is well worth checking out here: http://www.domodinamica.com/index_eng.html

Here are a pick of 5 amazing sofas that offer ideas, concepts, style and so much more.

The mix of fashion and design with a statement of what you and your home or office is about often comes from your choice of sofa.

Many of the below can be purchased but some are prototypes from new designers with some great ideas.


First lets start with a prototype from designer Daniel Becker from Germany.

The Hunting Lines 2 seat sofa has strong lines with a what looks like a glowing yellow line contrasting again the soft black.

One of the main features to this sofa is the fact that putting multi sofas together expands the seating area and create great lines within a home or office.


http://www.danielbecker.eu/huntingzweier4.html







From the Daniel Becker prototype to no other than one of the most famous sofa brands in the world, yes B&B Italia.

I could with ease list just 5 B&B italia sofas on this blog post but this time only one gets on this list.


Designed by Patricia Urquiola whom has designed for B&B Italia, Bosa, De Vecchi, Fasem, Kartell, Liv’it, MDF Italia, Molteni & C., Moroso and Tronconi plus many more.

The Tutfy Time has been selected due to the mix of square and straight lines with super soft corners and edges is a perfect mix of uniformity and comfort.

Being modular it fits in any space from a large 1 seat sofa to as large a composition as you'd like.

Looking for some natural elements in your living room ? Well the Neo livingstones will meet your needs..

These giant stones and pebbles make up configurations of sofas for both indoor and outdoor use.

These elements really look like stone and pebbles and of course will create and eye catching focal point to any living space.


Maybe its the child in me that just wants to run and jump onto the Neo Livingstones from Smarin.
I think you could have so much fun with these sofa's in a modern space with strong lines with the livingstones offering the natural element into a room.

From stones to pixels..

Its hard to pick just one of the sofas designs from Moroso as it has so many epic designs.

Moroso are famed for so many designs that include the likes of the Victoria and Albert and
Alessandra Armchair in cow style black and white patch fabric.

The pictured pixel sofa is again this typical Moroso idea of a mix of color design and texture. Bland is not a word you can use when talking about Moroso.

With some of the world top designers such as Ron Arad, Carlo Colombo, Enrico Franzolini, Marc Newson, Toshiyuki Kita and Patricia Urquiola you are of course exposed to so many ideas and designs.

Designers Andrea Fino and Samanta Snidaro have created the Velvet sofa for Sand and Birch design Italy.

The name of course gives away the use of velvet to upholster this sofa. It looks like and spring and strong, even harsh and uncomfortable to sit on but taking a closer look you can see the super soft velvet which omits comfort. The contradiction between its spring like form and soft texture is what makes this sofa stand out.

This is typical of Italian furniture challenging shape and form along with texture and finish.

Here we have a wonderful idea from Martin Bellendat of Rossin.

This is a chair and work surface combination looking more like a work of art than a utilitarian piece.

This sleek design offers a comfortable chair and work station for a laptop making it a perfect and practical piece for any living room or office.

Is it a sofa or a jellyfish?

Edra is an amazing brand that make in my opinion really wacky furniture.

The Historia Naturalis (natural history) Aster Papposus Sofa is part of the natural history range and with is jellyfish style would work so will in a amazing room with sea views. The silky blue fabric will become a massive collectors item in the future.

You can't not want one of these but you need A the budget and B the room to fit it in... I would love to see this in someones house.
