yesterday, on my book~shop hopping with my son, i had the
luxury of perusing the fabulous pages of some pretty unique design mags. i located this fabulous
site,
space, based out of australia through one of them. have a look at some of my favorite inspirational goodies from
space's chock~full
design site!
space offers a dizzying amount of cutting~edge, conversation~piece, do~it~different~lighting. tons! like this
"giga lite" by
marc sadler for
foscarini and for
space.
and...one (of the many) suspension lights i found mesmerizing was this
"5~pack" light by
axel schmid for
ingo maurer and for
space. i love the accordion~esque nature to the light, keeping the light fluid, soft and unfolding right before your very eyes. just lovely!
this outdoor seating by
b&b italia, and by
patricia urquiola for
space, provide an interesting amount of seating space, while fitting in with the outdoor environment, texture~wise, light~wise and throwing the outdoor space off a bit design~wise.
these pieces are new outdoor
favorites for me!
this super special
"kartell" chair, called
"pop", has fun
written all over it. i
love the busy nature of the fabric to the sub~dued spaces of the arms and legs, suspending the busy in mid~air! how completely amazing. perfect for any space in need of a true
"pop" of color!
the industrial neutrality of this piece,
"family life", is just plain ol'
fascinating. really this piece could be put in any space, grand or other~wise, dressed~up or down, depending on the needs of the space it's inhabiting. really
a great piece!
for these 2 pieces,
the ovis & the
ovis magnus, by
leon krier, i was pulled in by the lines and also by the snow white color palette. in any space, they would be welcoming,
sexy, pleasing and functional, all rolled up into one fabulous design ball.
i really love the modern, very edgy~ness to this piece,
"living divani", by harry & camilla via
space. adding in a piece like
this, to an environment that perhaps is begging for a little excitement,
this would certainly do the trick!
it was hard to even select a couple of
coffee tables from
space's website. there were
soooo many fabulous materials, shapes, color palettes, to choose from, my head was spinning. you
won't be disappointed if shopping around for a conversation~piece coffee table, whether for your residential or commercial spaces! remember...a coffee table can be such a focal point, a center meeting area, much like a kitchen table. even in a commercial space, you want to choose wisely, design~wise, when selecting a piece such as a coffee table.
space offers up an array of interesting
rug choices as well, from grown~up to children's rooms.
the amount of options when designing either a residential or commercial space are limitless, as we see from just a tiny window into the offerings of
space. remember to look outside of your area, sometimes going
really outside your area, such as with sites such as
space. and do you want to know why? because designing shouldn't always be easy. everything you need or imagine or want should not always be a hop, skip and a jump or jaunt away. sometimes you have to look high and low, near and far for the perfect lighting or wall treatment or single chair, that will make, complete or add to the space you are building.
space is one of the many companies that offer you a
plentiful amount of talented designers.
space is worth considering, even if you are not from australia! enjoy....;)
