Bell Jars and Cloches


Display from Dosa 818, Los Angeles.

French glass cloches from Restoration Hardware, USA.

From West Elm, USA.
I wrote about 'glass domes' the other week and about how much I liked them (read it here). Since then, the great Remodelista has put up a posting - and I have learnt that these 'glass domes' are called Bell Jars and Cloches. It seems there is a huge trend to have these in your decor and you can just about display anything in them...

B60 Sloop by John Pawson


The B60 sloop designed by John Pawson and Luca Brenta.

Looking amazing on the water.

Aerial view.

The ultimate recreational day racing yacht.

The exquiste minimal boat interiors - the signature of John Pawson.

Simple white gloss finishes make the interior more spacious.

Dining table and looking towards kitchen.

Dining area and kitchen.

Bathroom.
To carry on the sophisicated interior design theme - here is another piece by the much admired minimalism architect, John Pawson. This time, it is a B60 sloop in collaboration with naval architect, Luca Brenta. The brief was to design and build a new 60 foot day sailing boat. It was built in Kiel, Germany and you can see other stunning images, scheme details, boat models, specifications and construction images here. 
I know my Dad, a future boat-builder, will be jealous of this beauty.

Ian Schrager's Penthouse at 40 Bond


A partial interior/exterior view of Ian Schrager's glass pavilion on the roof of his penthouse, looking out to the New York skyline.

The library.

The pavilion on the roof at night.

The corridor along the south-facing wall of windows in the apartment.

Schrager's desk - with two early Picasso drawings.

The lounge area of the master bathroom, with the shower door open.
Wow - talk about having the best of the best... This is 40 Bond - an elegant building in New York designed by the innovative Herzog and de Meuron. It is their first building in New York and it houses luxury residences and townhouses. Developer Ian Schrager liked the building so much that he decided to keep the penthouse and have John Pawson design the apartment for him and his family. The penthouse was extended by Pawson with a glass pavilion located on the roof. Then to finish it off, Schrager brought in Christian Liaigre to do the interior design. I call these three architects and designers the ultimate dream team and obviously so does Ian Schrager. Talk about perfection and precision. Astonishing.

I Like...

I like...this lovely dining room scene from a guest house based in Hourglass Vineyards in Napa Valley, USA. A good combo of the classics - galvanised Tolix chairs along with the Leran pendant light and Rand rug from Ikea.

Resene

I have previously posted about the new Studio over Garage that you see above - you can read about it here. I have just found it on the Resene website - Minty Architecture and I had entered this job into the Total Colour Awards and it is on display with a selection of other entrants. It is quite a useful tool to observe what colours are being used by other designers/architects and how they look in reality. Check it out here.

My Flat Pack (Formerly Mykea)


Via Apartment Therapy
Isn't the blog/web world a vast world? It's certainly one where we can rub each other's backs. I received an email the other day from My Flat Pack (formerly Mykea). They had found my posting about ordering my Ikea PS cabinet through them earlier this year and the PS cabinet visuals that I had collected from other sources. It is important to credit where you find your images and information. I found the above image via Apartment Therapy and it was this image that My Flat Pack were interested in to put on their home page. They asked for my permission as it would be via my blog and would also add the link to my blog along with it. Isn't that cool? Of course, I allowed it and they have done so - check it out here. What is also great is that My Flat Pack now have stock of certain Ikea products in Auckland - so if you want a PS cabinet (one of the stock items), it will arrive to your door in no time. I've yet to purchase my second one to go beside my existing one but handy to know that it is right there when I'm ready.
