Montage: 64 Rooms with Black and White Art

StyleCarrot — Thu, 24 May 2012 15:03:32 +0000

I’ve been really drawn to black and white abstract artworks recently. For instance, I could really go for a Franz Kline. OK, so that isn’t likely, but there are plenty of alternatives, and designers are incorporating them into interiors rather a lot of late. From misshapen ink blots and robust geometrics to feathery woodcuts and simple hand-drawn forms, black and white artworks elevate the sophistication level of a room.

I love the look, but I’ve found myself hesitating when confronted with the opportunity to purchase such a piece. Maybe the thought of laying out a lot of money for such simplicity is not as exciting as taking ownership of something bright and shiny. But let’s be serious,that could end up being the difference between something trendy from Forever 21 or a beautifully tailored Armani. No comparison. Happily, we recently purchased a pair of drawings that resemble thread. I had them matted and framed and they look fantastic. (I’ll try to post a photo later today.)

Design Diary: Finnair’s Fancy First Class Lounge

StyleCarrot — Tue, 22 May 2012 13:30:39 +0000

Last Tuesday I posted photos of Moko Market. Today it’s shots of Finnair’s fancy first class lounge at the Helsinki airport. Sadly, I flew coach (pretty ice blue and green color scheme, but very squished seating), so wasn’t privy to the treats. However the hostess did let me in to take pictures, helping pass my too much time before takeoff. It is seriously cute. I was dying to dig into the salad bar and soup tureens.

ARTmonday: Inge Jacobsen

StyleCarrot — Mon, 21 May 2012 18:19:55 +0000

Using images found in fashion magazines and newspapers, Irish-Danish artist Inge Jacobsen creates textured photo collages by adding embroidery. She sees her technique as a way of linking women’s hobbies from generations ago with hobbies and interests of her own generation. She says, “I can, and have, spent long periods of time reading Vogue magazines just like my grandmother and her sisters spent a long time cross-stitching.”
