Was surfing the web looking for fun stuff, when I found this picture and in spite of its somber colors found myself strangely attracted to it. There was something slightly Gothic and Victorian about it, yet the room had a sort of elegance to it, and that orange chair against that coffee background was really what appealed to me the most! The French gilded mirror, the retro orange chair, the inlaid Eastern side table, the Moroccan pouf, the zebra cushion...odd combination....but somehow it all looked pulled together.
A little more surfing revealed it was designed by one Jonathan Adler. JA has been described as a designer known for his "happy chic" approach to design and furniture. He started out as a potter by trade before entering the world of interior design. His is a unique blend of design which will appeal to almost anyone. Its cool and hip, retro and modern, elegant and refined, classic and timeless, global and worldly, weird and bizarre....all these things, and always with a little dash of orange thrown in for some zing and pop!
Take a look.....and you'll see what I mean!
Elegant
Fun and happy
An odd mix and match which strangely enough seems to work
One word - colorful
Classic...except for the zebras....?
Global chic
The Jetsons come to the east....
Swedish cool, absolutely love those white nailhead trimmed chairs
Definitely the 70's touch here....
Bizarre and funky
Love it....so refined
Animal skin rug and Asian accessories...
French country meets mid century modern
Its not often you come across a designer who can encompass so many different styles....well, here is one who definitely can andd has a style of his own!
