Design obsession



That black and gold Art Déco desk. I will need a big office. I love the curves and at the same time the sharpness of it, the beautiful materials and their smoothness. It is exposed at the the Musée des Arts Décoratifs in Paris if you ever fancy a look.

Design obsession




Ercol is probably my favourite chair and sofa designer. It was love at first sight when I first saw the dinning chairs of the last picture in a vintage shop in East London. Unfortunately my budget of the time was too tight for a £150 chair - so was my flat for an extra piece of furniture. I've been on the lookout for some cheaper ones - a copy or someone who just want to get rid of them - and I must say that the more I research the more I also like the butterfly chair. The sofas are such a pleasure for the eye but I have serious doubts about the comfortable side of it, still I can quite picture one in our future living room. This is anyway the furniture filling my fantasy home. We've been living in furnished, half-furnished places, at someone else's house, so we don't really own any furniture yet, I'm hoping to be able to carefully curate piece by piece.
