Donna Karan’s Manhattan Apartment

Everybody knows who Donna Karan is. It’s a woman who built her enormous fashion empire in less than a decade on one extraordinarily simple idea: If she needs a particular item of clothing – a bodysuit, a wrap skirt, a chiffon blouse, a longer jacket – then every other woman needs it, too. Donna Karan’s Manhattan apartment is decorated in Zen style. “New York City inspires and fuels everything I do,” says Donna Karan. Minimal in structural and decorative elements, the space has just enough layered textiles and organic elements to create an inviting space for private or more public and social gatherings. The black and white color palette provides a modern and sleek backdrop for the more personally captured moments selected and learning in clustered frames. I like the simple colors and furniture; it’s a feeling like we are in the East. Serving as resting spot for collected artifacts, sitting mats, or even as a step into the next room – it creates a modern line visual and acts a multifunctional design form.

Skype Offices in Stockholm by PS Arkitektur

The office design is based on the spirit of Skype, how it is a useful and playful tool that connects the world. The in-between shapes of interconnected nodes has given us romboid and triangular shapes that is visible in the flooring and in the design of some of the hard furniture. The playful happy theme in colours and soft furniture comes from the Skype graphics and the Skype cloud logo is reinterpreted as cloud-shaped lighting throughout the office space. The Stockholm office predominately works with audio- and video development and this is manifested in the special made wallpapers with cables, earphones and other devices linked to audio-video technique.

Heavy dose of modern minimal - Koen Van Damme

Modern. Captured by Simon Devitt

Some very nicely captured interiors by Simon Devitt. I love the low lighting in some of these modern interiors. The home with the green shell chairs mixed with the light wood floors and the bamboo on the exterior, so earthy. Not a whole lot of cute overload on plastolux but the first pic, fawntastic!

Do You Know - Jorge Zalszupin?

The Polish born Jorge Zalszupin moved to Brazil after World War II, where he found an opportunity to develop his extremely sensual, modern architecture. A desire to rebuild a new post-war world and a wave of development in Brazil proved an ideal time for this creative atmosphere to flourish. Graceful lines, strong use of local woods and a combination of impeccable woodworking and classical detailing mark Zalszupin’s furniture.

Zalzsupin was one of the founders of the brand L’Atelier, a design collective comprised of architects, engineers, craftsmen and a full-scale team of professionals that did everything from researching materials to the finalizing the product. With the birth of the utopic Brasilia during the 1960’s and 1970’s, virtually no public building was left unmarked by the brand’s creations. L’Atelier’s designs stand as benchmarks of modernism to this day.

Renowned contract furniture manufacturer Steelcase Group approached Tolleson to collaborate on uniting three legacy companies – Brayton, Metro and Vecta – into a new brand, establishing a much-needed new category. Aptly named Coalesse, the resulting identity defines a new niche through a brand story and experience accessible to a varied audience.

Bark Chair by Creative Affairs

‘BARK’ is a set of chairs that came from the observation of a tree’s section, as a way of expressing the unique relationship between the outside and the inside. What you can immediately see and what truly lays within. This argument led the project to establish this special bond by making a clear division between the elements that form a chair. This partition is done in two groups: skeleton and exoskeleton. The former comprises the inner frame, which is the one that envelops the function of use. Whereas the latter include the most visible parts, which represents the symbolic function of the object that interacts immediately with the user.
