A little bit of mid-century modern: visiting Jonas Ingerstedt’s home
Stil hunting for Scandinavian furniture treasure. Jonas Ingerstedt, a talented Swedish photographer obviously has an excellent eye for mid-century modern pieces - he selected some beautiful classics for his masculine-style, elegant home.
First: timeless "Berlin" daybed by Bruno Mathsso, a great Swedish architect and designer. Next: raw "PK-1" chair by Poul Kjaerholm, a Danish designer known for his minimalist approach. Not to mention Hans J. Wegner's "CH 24" chairs ("The Wishbone") - a design that stays fresh for over 60 years now!

Pohutukawa beach house by Herbst Architects
Utterly perfect beach house in New Zealand - I simply couldn't take my eyes of the photos. Light, simple and elegant construction, interiors opened to the nature around, wooden details, mid-century furniture... and Finnish Secto lamps! (I must get at least one of them!)

Parisian loft designed by Antonio Virga
Raw surfaces spiced up by a mixture of flea market treasures and design classics. Great space flooded with light... a dream loft in Paris.

Washington Park Residence in Seatlle
Superb design by Sullivan Conard Architects. I can learn a lot! Well thought out interiors composed with clean, elegant forms. Great use of materials - surfaces come alive with smooth or raw textures. And I can not stop to admire those detailed renderings!
