Aren't these dried grapevine stalks fantastic? I f Aren't these dried grapevine stalks fantastic? I found them in a garden shop in Stockholm. Mounted on the wall, they suggest the sculptural in nature.⁠⠀
A great example of how I try to design flexibility A great example of how I try to design flexibility into every room. It's a guest room that does double or even triple duty as a reading room and a peaceful retreat.⁠⠀ When possible, I like to use this kind of comfortable daybed. It joins a small Chinese side table, an African stool, and an Alvar Aalto armchair against a very soft butter yellow.⁠⠀
What a luxury to have an expansive window in a bat What a luxury to have an expansive window in a bathroom! I installed bottom-up Roman shades (or schoolhouse shades), which give privacy but also open the view to the sky. A glass wall separates the bathroom from the dressing room (complete with French chair) but doesn't block the daylight.⁠⠀
My idea for this bedroom in the Southwest was to m My idea for this bedroom in the Southwest was to make a modern canopy bed by using an iron frame adorned with luxuriously draped curtains. It's minimal but still romantic. The lady of the house loves lace pillowcases (#swipe) – the subtle reference to more traditional bedrooms takes the romance to another level.⁠

Thompson, based in Bangkok, opened a fabric house that made Thai silks world famous. He created a unique residence, House on the Klong, from six antique Thai dwellings. Thompson disappeared into the jungle one day in 1967, and his house was transformed into a museum. It is an incredible place to visit – a designer's complete vision.⁠⠀

Usually I use furniture and floor treatment to improve the perceived dimensions or the flow of a room, but none of that was needed here. Instead I wanted to highlight the precision of the space by giving my clients a place to pause and appreciate a moment of effortless elegance.⁠⠀ I decided to design a central table with a crosswise element and a dramatic setting. The composition gently brings my clients to a halt, and the arrangement of objects, mostly circular, is a calming focal point. At the same time, the lengthwise element, which has diagonal ends, hints at movement and flow so that the room never feels static.⁠⠀ The spare geometries of the table highlight the same qualities in the foyer. ⠀ ⠀

It's part of my philosophy of giving the clients a refuge from the stresses and strains of the outside world. But a variety of textures (soft, shiny, smooth) and a palette of closely related colors give the room depth and richness. #swipe for the material selection.⁠⠀ Books and personal objects provide contrast, bringing the space to life. The textile I used for the throw pillows packs a lot of punch but still fits within the color palette.⁠⠀
I like to tell people that I turned a hidden space I like to tell people that I turned a hidden space under the stairs into this bright and charming book nook. But that truth is that I designed the nook into the house as part of the architecture. ⁠⠀ The area used to be a dark, narrow hallway to the kitchen. I opened the bottom of the staircase, outlined the steps for a nice crisp look, and added a glass rail (invisible in this photo) to make the most of the natural light. The I-beam column visually continues the line of the wall to delineate the living room and also adds a hint of an industrial aesthetic.⁠⠀
