A Little Floor Fun
Keeping with the floor design concept of the last post, here are some other ideas to really mix up your decor while thinking of the floor as a decorative element. This is a great, out of the box idea playing up on concentric circles from DeWorld. I just saw this one over the weekend at the Washington DC Design Center in their Design House, which is closing this week. This floor is by Kelley Proxmire. It’s based on a David Hicks design. It’s painted, eco-friendly bamboo flooring, which has some cushion to it. I absolutely love it. Click here to read more on casartblog regarding a post about the Interior…
Atelier Oi’s Art Forms
After all of my interior design oriented posts last week, I thought I’d feature this picture on the cover of Interior Design Magazine. They describe it as “art forms,” which I agree but it also looks to me like a three-dimensional, hanging-from-the-ceiling mural that is fully integrated and actually “makes” the entire fantasy space. I find this enchanting. There’s more to the story here. This looks like such a happy place that I’m fully expecting fairies to go filtering across. I love the play with proportion. Here are more designs by the Switzerland firm Atelier Oi and their new headquarters in La Neuveville. Look how different this building can look…
Interactive Meetings
As I mentioned Trend Hunter earlier this week, I’ll end this week with them as well. I found this a while ago but as we are now traveling to take our younger son to college, I thought this post regarding intellectual brainstorming might give some inspiration for his classes ahead. Trend Hunter is now on TV.com and has YouTube posts. This is one about the most innovative, interactive meeting ideas. The privacy/office space chair and the brainstorming table were my favorites. What You Need by INXS seems appropriate for this post and to Kick Start the weekend.
