KGB

Watch out for KGB! And no, I'm not referring to the national security agency of the former Soviet Union - I'm talking about the design collective Khouri Guzman Bunce! I spotted a few pieces via Wallpaper and now I can't wait to check out their website when its completed. Might just have to check out their new showroom in New York next time I'm on that side of the world...



Love, love, love the stitching detail on the back of this sofa. Its so nice to see something new every once in a while.

The Mancini cantilevered chair.

The Dempsey cocktail table.

and The De Marco solid marble table. Very Angelo Mangiarotti. This just might be my favorite.

Belgian Style

4:51 PM | Posted by | | Edit Post
I was quite excited to see these images of the home of Belgian designer Vincent Van Duysen as I think they show a softer and more elegant side to his minimal style. A little reminiscent of Andrée Putman's aesthetic if you ask me. The stairwell is amazing, and I love the bathtub that you get just a glimpse of through the bedroom. Divine!


I was also quite excited to see that someone is publishing a monograph of his work - "Vincent Van Duysen: Complete Works" is due to be released in May this year. With a foreword by Ilse Crawford, this looks like an instant classic. I already have a copy on pre-order!
