Room 606

Thursday, 9 December 2010

On the sixth floor of what was the Royal Hotel in Copenhagen, a single room preserves a microcosm of the definitive masterwork of Arne Jacobsen.  Room 606 is the last surviving interior of SAS House:  an unparalleled example of modern architecture and design, completed in 1960.  With the grey, blue-green colours, the wengé wood and a selection of the most representative furniture designed for the hotel, this room takes its visitors to another time and place.  Jacobsen designed the famous Egg and Swan chairs for the Royal, as well as the lesser known and rare Drop chair.

We could sit and stare at this chair all day long ............


Stardate 1994

Saturday, 4 December 2010

Designed in 1994 (yes, 1994) by Roberto Lazzeroni, 'Star Trek' is evocative of the expressive, anthropomorphic forms developed in Italy during the 1950s.  It is one of the first upholstered designs produced by Ceccotti.


Side stepping

Wednesday, 1 December 2010

We've developed a recent penchant for the Bertoia side chair, a chair which we've admittedly overlooked in the past.  How very rude!  So, to make amends, we've added this little gem to our list of wants and needs.  Vintage please ...... but what about finish?  We're thinking chrome.  Yes, yes, chrome - or maybe white.  Errmmmmmhh!
