Today I am thinking of an urban retreat - a small downtown apartment, illuminated during night by neon signs, filled with city sounds, busy downstairs with a little café and the local corner shop. Even though this can seem rather stressful to some, for me it is sheer bliss and my daily life. I do love some days off at the countryside, but for my daily life I am still drawn to downtown locations and notoriously too small apartments. So today's five happy inspirations are all about an urban lifestyle for people like you and me!
1. How about a sleek desk with a concrete tabletop by Paulsberg? I can so see a cool iMac on this desk!
2. Small urban apartments call for smart storage solutions. So here we go with a quirky book-bike-shelf combination as seen on Diet Coke And A Smoke Tumblr.
3. I can't go without colour. So how about a dash of vibrant colours on this snazzy illustration by Society6?
4. For a cool stool I'd travel the world. Luckily, with the internet they come to me. Like this gem - the Y stool by New Zealand based designer Tim Webber.
5. Speaking of cosmopolitan home decor: Here we go with an eye-turner floor lamp called Tinga by Toronto based graphic designer Tahir Mahmood.
Inspired?
Love the desk and the stool Igor. That walnut bike shelf is also a great design :-) Like yourself, I'm a big living in the city fan!
ReplyDeleteAny of those items would make me incredibly happy! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat desk is crying out for a loving home. Let it know one can be found here in Londontown! ;)
ReplyDeleteInspired indeed Igor. Loving the hits of yellow too. I really want that Bike shelf too, given husbands racing bike currently resides in my 2nd bathroom - too hideous
ReplyDeleteWe've been trying to come up with a new workspace solution in our family room...I'm totally showing my husband that gorgeous desk!
ReplyDeleteLove that lamp Igor!!! Me wanty!
ReplyDeleteYour blog is looking great Igor. Also love your nod to Canada as I come from Toronto. I too have been so inspired with BYW - keep up the good work :) !
