For the Bedding Effects! 2008-04-03 00:00:00
The blog on bedding had me all glued to my email and all. Well, I guess I cant agree more on it.you see! Designer Bedding
is an important bedroom article and it makes sense investing in some of these things for sleep, comfort and durability. For quality, you still need to shed off some bucks.and thats one way to ensure you brought the right thing back home.
On luxury bedding designs, almost everything seems to be in, colors are in, big floral patterns and retro patterns look cool and a blend— n—match theme works wellhonestly, what the heck, I mean.just add some of those luxurious cushions, throw pillows and covers and theme it all up.whats important is your creativity,so work up something on your own to match the scheming, and you must take a look at these casual bedding sets tha Read more:Effects
Exclusively, for Kids! 2008-04-10 00:00:00
They say everything comes off age. Literally, for growing toddlers, creativity means something different than what we adults perceive (its aging off with adults, I guesssmile). Small little details are all they need to stir up their imagination. And kids pillows are a great way to introduce your little ones to fun and learning. Just like they have those ‘abc crib sheets for 1 year olds, you have exciting themes in floral and animals to add up to the colors in kids bedrooms.
You get designer kids pillows that can quite do the magic for your little soldiers. I tried with a few of these kids animal pillows for one of my clients, and the mural was done in different colored birds and animals, so I matched up the theme with animal pillows. Perhaps, you could do something to enhance the e
The Story of the Flower and the Embroidery 2008-04-15 00:00:00
Lets look at a situation. You are through with the painting, curtains and décor and some accessories, and suddenly, you look at the picture perfect room and wonder, where is the punch..how do you break the color even..add that something which balances off the accent color and adds a lively vibrancy to the room. A big dasssssh of your personality to a décor wont look too bad either.or else the room will end up looking like a great remake of the perfect bedroom, without any personal touch
Well, I always say the smallest thing done in a thoughtful and creative way can do the wonder. A vase with a single tulip, a picture frame in accent color, a few complimentary or contrasting decorative pillows.all can just do great to bring in life to your décor.talking of pillow covers.must say th
Club it with Chairs 2008-04-24 00:00:00
On outdoor seating stuff, I dedicate this blog to club chairs. Ever since its popularity in the nineteenth century in England, club chairs have been paralleled with relaxation (all men furniture then, now no more). Outdoor club chairs and sofas may have been upgraded to use more innovative materials, but the quintessence is the same. Still meant for relaxation, the designs have grown more innovative and comfortable.
Must highlight the ones I find very close to the past concept. Thinking of getting one of these modern club chairs by the end of this year as we shift to our new home with more open space. The Club 6 armchair is closest to the olden idea of relaxation. And what I like is the broad snug seat and back and the firm steel base that looks like leisure without carrying the b Read more:Chairs
Missing it out on outdoor tables 2008-04-29 00:00:00
There we go. I have been reading mails on more chairs, more sofas, and more mores like outdoor
barstools and settes and, outdoor tables to go with such designsso, I am going to look into each, one at a time.
On outdoor seating and sofas, I guess I missed on settes and they really are great outdoor things to have any day. The Luma Settee looks like the modern version of the ex- f-o-r-m. One from the award-winning fabricator, made with IBAMA (Brazilian Institute of Environment and Renewable Natural Resources) certified Ipe wood and anodized aluminium. I like the clean aesthetic lines and the finish that reflects the inherent natural beauty of Ipe. Ipe is claimed to be naturally resistant to rot, insects, UV exposure, ice, salt, abrasion, and splintering (and even 3 times harder than t Read more:Missing
Clubbing is on! 2008-05-06 00:00:00
I like the response on outdoor stuff. Well, I thought I almost covered it all on outdoor seating and outdoor clubchairs, but then I knew there is more to it(call it intuition). More of the history, the old Victorian leather club chairs were cute button-backed things, buddies with the Chesterfield sofas. Historically, leather was more of the club chair upholstery, considered gentlemans furnishing material. From then to now, well we dont cling so much to leather.
As to the modern outdoor furniture version, must say the Luma Contemporary has got the appeal. The broad seat and back are comfortable in cozy fabric (not leather), and the anodized aluminium looks perffffect for outdoors. But what I really like is the delicate balance of function and aesthetics. The ITTO and IBAMA certified m
Chasing the Chaise 2008-05-08 00:00:00
No wonder all this outdoor furniture posts boiled down to— what about chaises and loungers!”. Yes, well.. how can I not look into it friends! After all most outdoors would look bare without outdoor chaise loungers. Relaxing on one of these beauties on a lazy afternoon with a book in hand is one of my favorite pastime.(often found asleep sun basking)
Ok. On modern chaise designs and those designer outdoor chaises that look like picture perfect things till you glance at the price tag. Well, you need not shell off so much to earn luxury anymore. I have come across two great chaise designs that almost had me rethink about changing my own
The Athens Double Chaise is great for couples. And they are sturdy things too. Made with extruded and hand cast aluminum, the result is completel Read more:Chasing

Doshi and Louis Kahn - Sustainable Design Life 2008-05-20 00:00:00
Moving from Srilanka, I made a long due visit to India. I have been meaning to do an architectural tour esp. on the work of Mr. BV Doshi. Being modern and far-sighted does not always mean going off the league. This probably has been the mantra of visionary architects like Bal Krishna Vithaldas Doshi. I dedicate this blog to this well-known figure in Indian architecture. His work is inspiring f Read more:Louis

Geoffrey Bawa and Sustainability 2008-05-27 00:00:00
Last year on my visit to Srilanka, I had the chance of witnessing the work of the great Geoffrey Bawa. It was one thing to read about his architectural aptitude (and see his work on paper) and quite another to actually see what it means to tie modernity within the roots of a rich architectural culture. Unique to his work, one of his earliest buildings, a courtyard house built in Colombo for Read more:Sustainability
NEW MODERN CITIES PLANNED IN SAUDI ARABIA 2008-05-29 00:00:00
Talking of development and modern architecture, the focus is Saudi Arabia—the oil kingdom of the globe. With the hike in oil prices since 2002, a barrel touching $130 this month, the Saudi economy has picked up like fire in last five years. The result has been a well-planned diversification beyond the oil exports. Worlds largest Petrochemical plant; Petro Rabigh a joint venture by state-run
MIAMI - ART DECO DISTRICT 2008-06-03 00:00:00
I decided to spend my spring break in Miami. The weather was rainy and thunderstormy unlike the Floridas sun-drenched beaches.... in any case, I got to hang out at the South Beach where art deco buildings are concentrated. As modern architecture keeps evolving, South Beach claims to home the largest collection of Deco architecture in the world. And perhaps equally fitting sounds the idea of p

Bouquet Chair—Moroso 2008-06-06 00:00:00
You believe ‘delicate is the word to describe flowers; all I can say is think again, for the Bouquet
chair is a flower for you to sit on. One of the most contemporary designs in modern chairs, Bouquet has been designed for Moroso, an Italian designer furnitures manufacturer. Tokujin Yoshioka built the prototype out of 30,000 sheets of tissue paper (!!!!!) Later the tissue paper was replaced Read more:Chair

Milan HIGHLIGHTS—Cattelan Italia 2008-06-11 00:00:00
‘Green was the fervor this April at the Milan

At first the name struck the mind; next came the design (for once). Incidentally, one of my fav electropop music guys—Vive La Fete—a Belgium group (reminiscence of 80s music) got me all nostalgic (try their first album Attaque Surprise) and all. Back to the design scene, the La Fete logo says ‘the scene outdoors so I had to peep in. And must say I liked some of the catchy sculptural loun Read more:Milan

BDI also has a range of family room furniture like contemporary coffee tables that I find interesting owing to some of their classic retro features. A combination of retro and contemporary, btw can add a bygone element in your drawing. And if the merger happens to be a success, then the room can be filled with a cozy ambience, in combo with other modern furniture from more recent times
