STICKING TO IT – RULES ON ART AND FURNISHINGS

At first I struggled, finding the amount of available furniture oppressing, but then I realized that it takes a certain weight off and allows for exploration in different areas.

L pointed out that if you look at books with modern design from the 40s, you find that interiors were not uniform with respect to eras. Modern furniture will be mixed with antiques, whereas starting in the fifties, interiors became all one thing, Eames, Danish, or…

Slightly torn between dreams of modern Italian and Scandinavian furniture from the fifties and sixties, two decisions were reached:

1.     For additional furniture, we will stick to items that were available in the thirties and forties.
2.     The art we display will be by our friends or people we are acquainted with.
