Pretty Inside

As I was spending the whole day chatting either with my friend over the hike of ciggie cost and almost about nothing at all, it's bit daunting to think that I could be this free. I know that I deserved it and this is like the calm before the storm but years of work has acustomed to me to non stop work. Nevertheless, yesterday's shopping trip has inspired me to look for some stuff online - furniture.

Interior design to me was never a big deal, it was like the whole package and it is still a whole package that incorporates the furniture and materials but as long as something is good and color coordinated with a theme, then it's good. A recent contest that I did for a client did inspired me to dig deeper. Managed to bump to this site and this is what I discovered:

These are argueable one of the most famous chair designs out there. These day plenty of copycats of course.

Crazy about this one called the Safari Chair. Love how the leather strap and buckle was used. Good detailing.

Don't forget the lamps as well...like omg. I never paid any attention to how a beautiful lamp can be a conversation piece. This popular lamp called Artichoke...everyone would have seen it somewhere sometime before.

Love, love, love, love, love, love, love this lamp.

Really, these are great work done by great visionary artists as most of the item was designed in the 60s and still look so darn modern. They are people who refused to settle for anything less than ordinary yet never underestimating the power of simplicity and incoporating usability into the design. I guess that's what GOOD furniture design and GOOD advertising have in common - always relevent, understandable, simple and yet powerful. Sure, furniture is furniture is furniture. But good designed furnitures is something that you can spend time with. Something that you look for hours and still discover something new in its detail. You truly get what you pay for.
