Sober maturity

It might be wrong to call these images for “mature” but by that I mean a more adult style, more conventional. It is perhaps not quite the right expression – traditional, understandable, predictable, classical, timeless & so on. A bit of a hotel feeling, perhaps a little impersonal because it’s not decorated, in the sense that it doesn’t overflows with things. Few well chosen items such as art, antiques that breathes style, heavy draped curtains & so on.

It’s usually liberating environments with everything in its place. Often organised, very tidy & neat. It can of course be colourful, slightly playful but in a sober manner. Still, in lots of different styles – classical, city, rural, modern, as well as various expressions & materials of course.

Comfortable

So today I felt for a post with some armchairs in different styles & shapes. That’s after a rather uncomfortable evening in a restaurant with great interior, great food & great people. It was  decorated with small, small table, stools & armchairs with a mix of old & new – very nice & inviting environment albeit slightly dark. The thing is that it looked really nice which is a big part of an experience but once you’ve been sitting for a while, you feel it in your whole body.

The armchairs are too high for the low coffee tables or opposite & the tables are too small for more than two & you have to bend or lean to reach for things. It became way too uncomfortable after a while. It’s great with inspiring places & it’s nice when it looks stylish, cool or different. It’s just that  I’m always impressed when it’s combined with functionality – when someone have taken the time to think through everything.

Daily inspiration, architecture

Modern architecture has its advantages, just like with everything else. I can not say that super modern buildings or houses are among my top favorites. It simply depends on where, in what context & moment. This pearl is located in North Bondi, in Sydney.

Place of work / 182

Hej friends,

I promised to do something more modern way back when I blogged about workplaces. I was reminded recently so I guess I have to keep my promises. And I don’t mind, there’s so many inspiring work spaces, for sure. I have a particular fondness for long desks for, preferably several in a row. I like it when I can see what I’m doing & things sorted in a manner that gives me an overview. Especially when I can move things along the tables & still have it spacious around & beside.

I do favour basic colours as you know … black & white  with a few colourful details. Similar to the first image below or the third. The fourth isn’t so bad, nor the fifth either. Well, as I said, there’s loads of great & inspiring solutions. And why chose when you can have it all…at least through images 🙂
