LATELY we have been coming across concrete used in décor everywhere⏤so much so that it has become a common fixture on Instagram. A major trend in interior design in 2018, concrete, a material that is often associated with building foundations, driveways and patios, has been making its way into home accessories, flooring, shelving, lighting and even furniture. And now it's back.
THIS WEEK'S décor inspiration is the Paris apartment of Diego Delgado-Elias, a Peruvian architect who lives in Paris. After ten years working on major hospitality and private projects at large international agencies, Delgado-Elias founded his own agency in Paris in 2014 ...
THE HOME OF Lena Terlutter is one of the most bold and modern spaces that we have ever featured here at TIG. The fashion entrepreneur, who opened the concept store Belgique Boutique in 2010, lives in a large open-plan loft style space in Cologne, Germany with her husband and four children. The home features an all-white palette punctuated by rustic wood beams and large-scale framed black and white photography ...
YES, IT'S TRUE we are not often drawn to ultra-modern spaces, but there is something about this penthouse by Melbourne-based CJH Studio that is very appealing at this time of year. As the days are getting longer, perhaps it's the space's brightness that pulls us in ...
YES, IT’S TRUE—we rarely feature ultra-modern spaces here at TIG (especially brutalist ones), but there is something about this home in Orinda, California, that drew us in. Built by Faulkner Architects for a couple of environmental scientists and their two sons who relocated from the Oakland Hills to the warmer climate of Orinda, the goal was sustainability, including net-zero energy performance yearly.
If you've ever wondered what the Paris office of Simon Porte Jacquemus's fashion label, Jacquemus, looks like, you'll be happy to hear that the 31-year-old designer shared a glimpse on the brand's Instgram page @jacquemas recently. It's as playful as you would expect, with ultra-modern furnishings and wonderful outdoor spaces to work. Scroll through for a glimpse...
Some Guillaume Alan's earliest design memories include the Louvre's magnificent ordered square courtyard, the Cour Carrée, and the tranquil simplicity of Mies Van der Rohe's Barcelona Pavilion in Spain. These memories fostered a love of classical purity that can still be seen in all of his work today.
Russian-born, raised in Germany influencer Xenia Adonts moved to Paris recently and has been slowly releasing small glimpses of her new apartment on her Instagram account @xeniaadonts. And while the space the classically good bones of a Paris apartment with its juliet balconies and chevron wood floors ...
This beautiful interior space, called Aurora Residence, is a collaboration between Koolasuchus (@koola.suchus), an Australia based interior architecture and design firm, and Photonic (@studio.photonic) an Australian based studio specialising in marketing 3D imagery, architectural concept and spatial design.
As you know, we're unabashed maximalists here at TIG, but every once in a while, we fall in love with a modern space. The reason why we were drawn to this particular space, though, is the stunning way it blends both traditional and contemporary, old and new: this country home in the Cotswolds belonging to Richard Found and his wife is the best of both worlds ...
NO.4 CLIFFORD STREET - Here sits an elegant Georgian building, one of the oldest in the neighbourhood of Mayfair, London, a house dating from 1719 and originally conceived by the architect John Witt, and now the current home of Connolly, a clothing and leather goods boutique that made its debut in 1995, but closed temporarily in 2010 for a 5 year pause ...
ONE LOOK THROUGH our Décor Archives and you will notice immediately that there are very few contemporary interiors and a thorough fondness for maximalism. We've always favoured traditional or new traditional styles to anything modern, being drawn instead, to ornamentation―gilded mirrors and chandeliers, toile and boiserie and crown canopies. The closest we've ever ventured to the modern or minimal is ornate austerity.
