Modern Homes and other things....

Modern homes, and other interesting things.. 

Although its been a few weeks that I have written in my blogs, I am writing today because I have so many things to share with all of you.. I found some very interesting items and homes that I would like to share with all of you. I am sure that many of you will find these items very interesting. 

Enjoy the pics and post.. 

A 21st Century Farnsworth House

What does a 21st Century version of Mies van der Rhoe’s exalted Farnsworth House look like? Thanks to Manhattan architectural firm Desai/Chia, we now know. The blissfully beautiful LM Guest House in upstate New York was built for a family requesting “an analog” of Farnsworth, and lucky for them (and us voyeurs), they got it in spades.

A modest 2,000 sq feet in size, LM, like Farnsworth, retains a low, horizontal profile with an all-glass exterior. But unlike Farnsworth, state-of-the-art green technology—geothermal heating and cooling; radiant floors; motorized solar shading; photovoltaic panels; rainwater harvesting; and sensitivity to the lay of the land—was thoughtfully employed to reduce the carbon footprint of an all-glass house.

“The LM Guest House celebrates the beauty of the surrounding landscape,” says Desai/Chia. Agreed—but we think it more potently celebrates the enduring, timeless beauty of Farnsworth House.

Headliner

At 83, Milton Glaser still knows how to stay design-relevant. The only graphic designer to have ever been awarded a National Medal of Arts (in 2009), he was also making news at ICFF 2013 recently. The Barcelona carpet brand Nanimarquina launched a collection of 3 wool carpets designed by Glaser, each bearing earth-toned, cross-hatch graphic patterns with tribal overtones. The star of the rug trio was Shakespeare in Africa, featuring the head of The Bard himself. Of his desire to reference a literary icon on a carpet, said Glaser, “I wanted to take two things that have no relationship with each other and do what art does: to unify the apparently unrelated.” Mission accomplished, we say.

Gus* Annex Cabinet!

The elegant Annex Storage Cabinet by Gus*! This versatile, perfectly proportioned piece is a generous 60-inch wide, with adjustable shelves and self-closing doors and drawers. Recessed handles, a warm walnut finish, and sleek stainless steel base make this thoughtfully designed cabinet an enviable addition to any modern furniture collection.

Indeed modern homes and a piece that is considered one of the best contemporary storage cabinets out there.
