Texture in the Home

Found another fantastic pinner to follow! These images were found via ModernSauce. I was drawn to the idea of how many wonderfully different textures of surfaces you can have in your home. Just to add that little extra dimension. : )

Oh Louis

Images found on Glitter Guide

This is the home of Maya Brenner, an LA jewelry designer. I love the mix of natural elements with pops of bright colors.  The framed Louis Vuitton scarf is beautiful with the logo explosion filling the continents. I think it's a really fun idea. P.S. Read the poem in the bottom picture. Super cute!

Good Design Is...

I thought I would revisit the key steps to design we saw during the Dieter Rams exhibit and point out what attracts me to the pieces I post.  

This Dieter Rams chair is the perfect example of long-lasting and influential design. It's simple, useful, and brilliantly subtle in it's design aesthetic. I decided to find more of what I feel exemplifies this key of design. In searching for examples, I discovered Arne Jacobson, and like Dieter Rams, immediately recognized his work. I think what makes these pieces long-lasting is that they are still utilitarian without giving up on creative design. I think doing this exercise by being inspired by Dieter Ram's keys to good design, will lead to more discovery and deep-thought about why good design works.
