An hourglass-effect, bespoke dining chair from April Russell; interior designers extraordinaire, in London. We love the effective but simply patterned and minimally textured upholstery.
Fantastic entrance hallway from Anouska Hempel Design [Liechtenstein]. We like to talk about the fabrics in the images we share but it’s a bit tricky with this one. Anyway, enjoy.
Interesting wall treatment of this former chapel-cum-restaurant. Not so keen on the curtains but the chairs are a solid choice with a lovely shade of brown faux leather – similar samples are available from us, here.
Apparently this is known as a “Mrs. Godfrey Chair” and is made by Jonathan Adler. We love the textured upholstery linen in a teal like colour and with an interesting detail to the weave and to the upholstery. Of course you can get similar KOTHEA fabric samples from here – we have several ranges of upholstery weight linen.
Another no-fabrics-on-display image 🙁 . This time a great pool setting by April Hamilton. To be practical a pool has to be large, heavy and rectangular which poses significant issues for an interior designer.
Anouska Hempel Design – restaurant interior design with flair. Not much here we can say about fabrics for once but we like the place settings and ambience.
If you can’t go up, out or back then where do you go?
1508 London have designed this amazing townhouse. If you can’t go up, out or back then where do you go? – was the title of this post. 1508 London clearly know where the answer lies for the future..you go down and down again. Basement conversion in London were de-rigeur 15-20 years ago in the Clapham environs (now spreading to the home counties). But when you have yet another multi-hundred thousand bonus (or more) you can’t quite afford to move house AND to get that much bigger a house. So you go down two floors. I suspect that your rear has to face the right way as far as sunlight goes and you probably need very understanding neighbours whose children do not play football. Once that ball comes over the fence, there’s no way it is possible to throw it back 🙂
April Hamilton Designs produced this great looking home cinema studio. I remember bringing back a projector from work about 15 years ago, it linked into my laptop and I brought home too one of those pull-down portable screen. 3 of us crammed into a small bedroom watching Finding Nemo (or similar)…how things have changed !! We looove the straightforward colour scheme and, in particular, the red silk velvet cushions and beautifully textured brown upholstery fabric.
KOTHEA supply numerous velvet collections including luxurious Italian Silk Velvet fabric which can readily be used for cushions as well as residential upholstery.
