Contemporary Residence House Designed by Ehrlich Architects

Here is an eye-catching contemporary house from Ehrlich Architects, a studio founded in 1979. The Zeidler residence is located in Aptos, California in a magical space, overlooking the Pacific Ocean and a few steps away from the beach. Built for a couple and their family, the structure is really impressive in size (3,500 square feet) and has several delimited living spaces. The indoors and exterior were designed in order to take advantage of the site’s potential to the maximum. Large windows and balconies ensure a large amount of natural light and the overall openness of the residence. The interior is very modern, featuring tasteful arrangements and a pale but intriguing color palette. Three king sized bedrooms ensure accommodation for friends and visitors. Does this contemporary residence seem like a nice place to live in or do you consider it too ostentatious?

Originality and Comfort Enveloppe Sofa Designs by Inga Sempe

Originality and Comfort Enveloppe Sofa Designs by Inga Sempe

Enveloppe Sofa comes from designer Inga Sempe and brings with it originality and comfort. This is said to look more like a “bed with pillows”, rather than a sofa. Fluffy and soft, it seems like the perfect place to take a nap. In fact, the designer resembles its shape to that of a protective nest, a place where sleep can be uninterrupted. The unusual couch also has mobile extremities which makes the pillows a lot easier to grab, taking comfort to a superior level. Enveloppe Sofa was created both for adults and children and comes in 140 different colors, in order to be easily integrated in any type of contemporary interior.

The Red River

I was introduced to The Red River , an organization based in North East India by Kakoli Das (one of the founders) a few weeks back and I loved their home and lifestyle products.

The Red River acts as a medium between the weavers from the North East and the markets, that will help them with sustainable income.

Have a look at some of their amazing collections of cushions~

These designs have been inspired by the weaving patterns of river bank settler community - the Misings (or the Miris)

Bright weaves and threadwork...

Stunning collection designed with re-purposed fabric swatches...

Varnasi-inspired bling embellishments on the cushions...

Here are their other very interesting home furnishings~

sweet imprints...

I recently became the owner of these beautifully crafted Sandesh moulds, that my mother found while clearing her old trunks.

Having spent most part of my childhood summer vacations in Calcutta, West Bengal where my grandparents lived for decades, my love for Bengali sweets and especially Sandesh is interwoven with my memories of days spent lazying around in the wrought-iron balcony with smooth red-oxide flooring... ( more on that later;-)

So when my mother brought these precious little pieces of terracotta moulds I was thrilled.

I just had to share these photographs with all of you.

Hope you like them.

Gipsy House Interior Design in Berkeley, California

A new house on a steep sloping acre lot in the Berkeley hills. The house is divided into two distinct zones; one burrowed into the hillside and the other, mostly glass, cantilevering toward the view.
