Interior Metal Transportation Device

JUMP IN

The last title I wanted to give this post was "the slide". Amateur, which I am no longer.




Why not have a slide in the middle of your New York penthouse suite. Did I already give away the location before you could guess?


Now in this case, this slide is not only meant for transportation, it is also used as a major focal point for the entire suite. Given its metal exterior, and glass casing, it certainly ties this otherwise cold suite together.


I can't really think of anyone who wouldn't want a slide in their apartment, loft, suite, house, and especially commercial buildings.

If I were to propose a change to the space, and how the Turrett Collaborative Architects have designed this place to be. I would definitely not add that hideous staircase, and replace it with a somewhat spiral staircase going alongside the metal slide. Perhaps something like this... Now imagine the stairs being in a all dark wood, with a glass covering and metal railings right along side the stairs.


Not only would this potential solution create a more open space for the living and dining area, it would also compliment the focal point (slide).

Interior Flake 1

So throughout this blog I will be flaking you kids... (over the course of this blog I will be referring to you (my readers) as kids, or kiddos.. =)


Flakes can be defined as many things nowadays. They can be a variety of things, including kellogs cornflakes, your friends who “flake” on you sometimes. But in this case, it is simply an interesting piece of furniture that can dignify your interior, in any kind of room. 

Flake Numbah One - Quite recently, the famous square shelves seem to be of interest to many contemporary spaces. 

The Floating Bed Concept

This "Private Suspended Bedroom" within a small loft located in Montrouge, France has been designed by the ECDM Architects.

Many modern designs have come out through small spaces, and how to make those small spaces... look less small. In other words, by hanging a bed in the middle of the room it dignifies a sense of unique, and modern design solution to a small space.

What is Modern?

Nowadays, the majority of my clients (family members & friends of friends) seem to like the more modern type of design for interiors. But what defines modern? It is basically the recent types of use for design, as opposed to remote times. How recent? We may have gotten "modern" down packed since the year 2000. However, as technology keeps rolling down a fast pace, clients feel the need to continue updating. Which can't be a bad thing. It has to be better than sticking to the past, and not letting go of what once was... Too deep for a design blog? I believe so, Moving On Now. 


The reason I wanted to make modern a relevant topic this week, is simply because that is one of my main design style. Even if the surroundings are not so up to date, I sure like my design to stand out, in a rather...  selfish kind of way. 


For example: Johnny-Walker Lounge


Just by adding new pieces of furniture, in this case the chairs, easily updates the room. Without having to redesign the entire space... yet.
