For friday, let’s have some views. Toshiko Mori Architect designed this New York Hudson Valley retreat for Mary and Sean Kelly of Sean Kelly gallery.
I kind of want to be this You cast-iron sculpture by Antony Gormley’s. Look at those views!
Perfect place to just chill. Poul Kjærholm wicker chaise longue and low table.
A suspended sofa by Poul Kjærholm and the Antony sconce by Serge Mouille are both 1950s. That sconce is nothing but perfection.
Vintage Arne Jacobsen seating with a set of Grand Prix chairs and a Giraffe armchair surrounding a minimalist custom dining table actually set into a polished-concrete floor!

A lovely detail. Love how the bed is made and the gorgeous mix of textiles with the form of the Arne Jacobsen swan chair. Sycamore bed by Mori.
Let’s begin our week with the inspirational Yabu Pushelberg apartment in New York.
These William Katavolos T chairs are a major favorite.
A perfect little corner with a Nanna Ditzel lounge chair and artfully arranged frames.
Simple and light.
A peek into the bedroom.
I am going crazy for this polished brass pendant lamp by Paavo Tynell! It is spectacular against the wood wall.

Have a great day everyone!
POP of red!
Gorgeous black and white photos in wood frames. Beautiful calming room. I am drooling over this silk rug.
These nightstands are just brilliant. Loving the combination with the table lamps.

Crisp and clean Copenhagen apartment by Anouska Hempel. Dinesen Douglas Floors.
It is so hard to find affordable modern art. Art River is one of the rare places where you can actually do so. They carry a handful of amazing artists like Cy Twombly, Jean-Michel Basquiat and Franz Kline among many others. I am currently loving these…
Francesco Clemente, #9
Jean-Michel Basquiat, Pink
Cy Twombly, Three Notes From Salalah
Last week I headed into a new declaration of gallery, greeted by an enormous dangly red mobile-like art piece that was unmissable on busy West LA Pico Blvd. The second thing I noticed was art, everywhere and design objects, everywhere…and architecture, everywhere. You rarely see all in one. Yet, art consultant, Leonardo Ledesma of Art Seen and architect, Mark Bittoni of bittonidesignstudio, have forged art and design together in their exciting collaboration, designmatters boutique.
The front portion of Bittoni’s studio is dedicated to carefully curated objects accentuated by Ledesma’s Art. Imagine a Josh Jakus felt eggflat perched in front of an Ann Thronycroft work…yeah amazing. You can literally trip over great design and great art here.
Josh Jakus eggflat.
Ann Thronycroft’s Dreamtime 2. A local Venice artist.
James Verbicky’s Diffuse. I love this one, a must see in person. The mixed media he uses looks like the projection of the curl of a wave.
Stefano Ciannella’s Same Place Same Time
Menu’s black contour plates
Dean Styers’ Barely Legal
Check them out at 10590 1/2 West Pico Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90064
Last week I met the uber-talented photographer/artist Andrea Marino. He is an amazing fashion photographer who is now creating unique, influential and dynamic art. I love this tryptic below called Awakenings! He is a color genius!
Awakenings
Andrea and myself!
If you are in Los Angeles, his work is currently being shown at Cappellini in West Hollywood. Stop by and see it!
I love this flat owned by Parisian gallery director Didier Krzentowski featured in Dwell, June 2004. There are unique vintage artful finds in every nook and cranny.
Purple Pierre Paulin 261 sofa with an installation by artist Alan McCollum
Murano glass vases by Jerszy Seymour.
Marc Newson Orgone stretch lounge.
This Gino Sarfatti 2109/16 ceiling lamp is A-mazing!
Marc Newson Embryo chair dates from 1988. I love it paired with this blue rug.
This bright pink Smarties table by Mattia Bonetti is so fun and unexpected.
Wow, vintage everywhere! I am not sure if Ron Arad’s Rolling Volume chair (in black) would be comfortable to sit in, but it does look cool!
