Hmmm…Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, classic! I can kill two birds by showing this picture. It includes furniture by van der Rohe and this great building, the German Pavillion, in Barcelona. Beautiful design.
And of course the Seagram building. I am lucky enough to live in the city that houses it so I see it often and it is a sight.
Hans Wegner gets my vote for fave danish designer. I love the attention he pays to detail and his unbelievable craftsmanship. Take a look at this…
Von Robinson’s industrial design is fun. Take a look at these table/stools. You can insert a cushion or table top into any of the openings to provide a seat or space to set a drink.
Philippe Starck is one of my favorite modern designers. I love his chairs because so many of them can fit right into any room or at any dinner table to complete a contemporary or eclectic space with style.
Saarinen is a fabulous designer that I have to add to my list. He designs beautiful furniture and was also the designer of the amazing Gateway Arch. Here are pictures of his Tulip chair and table.
I have been waiting to get to U! Patricia Urquiola, love, love everything by her. Her pieces are fresh, fun, and often funky. Just plain good design. Hard for me to pick which pieces to show. 
Check out some more of her work at http://www.moroso.it/
I have had my eye on this lamp for a little while now. It is the new Verona lamp from Pottery Barn. Really cool floor lamp, the inside of its beautiful shade is lined with mirrors that brighten the light from the bulb. It is a perfectly chic reading lamp!
Hi all! So i have just finished my first week in school, so excited about all the projects i will be tackling this semester. I will definitely keep you updated. To continue my A-Z list…
Ross Lovegrove has designed many wonderfull things, from staircases to bicycles.Lovegrove is so inspirational as far as the endless possibilities there are in the future of design. These are two of my favorites:
wash basin-Vitra
Supernatural chair-Moroso
Jasper Morisson, fun chair.
Vega chair by Morrison
Oeuf’s bookshelf is super cute in a kid’s room to store books and toys, but would work nicely anywhere in the house too!
Liza Philips makes these cute stair rugs, available in so many different colors and patterns.
I really like the modern approach Pablo Pardo takes in his design. His Bel Occhio lamp is both a spotlight and or ambient table lamp.
I have made it to H. and this is a fun one!
Hans Hopfer’s Mah Jong sofa brightens up my day. Very hippie chic, it makes an ultra rad lounge area. Pull out the hookah and have a seat!
I? I will have to get back to you on this one.
Philip Johnson, exhibitionist? Johnson couldn’t have expressed the structure in his Glass House any better than this. Beautifully constructed. And I love the interior.
Florence Knoll designer and manufacturer, designed these two pieces, which fit together perfectly in any seating arrangement. I love the pink bench to add a splash of color!
Hi all, happy Monday! Hope you all enjoyed your weekend. I am continuing to explore the alphabet for my all time fave designers and the pieces I love so much by them. I’m on to D…
De La Espada, a designer/manufacture of beautiful furniture and accessories built these two pieces that were designed by Autobon. Fun modern furniture!
Eames! I love Charles and Ray Eames. I wish I was a kid again so I could ask for one of these cute elephants to play with. I have been so into theses adorable toy/seat for kids for a while now. Originally they were only available in ply-wood but in February/March you will be abe to order them in plastic, perfect for the kiddies!
Michael Graves’ tea kettle is a really cool addition to any kitchen. Matching sugar and cream sets are also available. Tea anyone?
Eileen Grey’s round glass top side table, had to put this one in as a personal favorite. I have one in my living room, it is the perfect accent piece.
Architect, Frank Ghery designs the most unique buildings. Here is the Guggenheim in Bilbao, it is so intriguing.
Well, that’s all I have for today. I am so excited, it’s back to school for me tomorrow! Wish me luck.
I have decided to dedicate this first week of my blog to my absolute favorite designers A-Z, and their creations I admire so much. All of these designers are true inspirations to me.
Now to begin,
Ron Arad, one of my favorite designers, pushes his design to the limit. Absolutely amazing stuff. We all are lucky enough to be able to view his exhibition in New York at the MOMA August 2 – October 19, 2009, super exciting! This is his Lolita Chandelier, there are actually LED lights in the crystals that allow the owner of this masterpiece to scroll a message through it.
I also really like his Voido rocking chair…
Aarnio’s bubble chair, two words: totally groovy. This hanging chair, made of clear acrylic, may not be all that practical but it is definitely a work of art.
Bruerer’s beautiful Wassily chair is one of my favorite classic pieces. It was the first chair that used tubular steel in its design. I love it because, not only is it beautiful to look at, it is actually very comfortable to sit in. Love that it is available in so many different colors now.
I adore Bertoia! Harry Bertoia’s designs are so chic and functional, great chairs and I especially like these bar stool. Perfect to lounge in while enjoying a cocktail and conversation!
Corbusier never gets old. Always a classy choice in any interior. 
I also want to throw in an image of the interior of Le Corbusier’s Ronchamp. The perforations in the walls and the use of different colored glass in the windows give this building so much life.
The Arco Floor Lamp by Castiglioni fits nicely in any modern interior. Great accent piece in a living room’s sitting area.
More to come tomorrow!
A big HI to everyone out there! I am so excited to share my thoughts on my favorite thing, interior design, with you all. I am heading back to school at New York School of Interior Design on Tuesday and am sure to have tons to write about and show you!
