Yellow & Blue Make Me So Happy!




You know how I really do rate the Series 7 chair by Arne Jacobsen, as the most iconic chair of the 20th Century?
Floral throw by Olivier Desforges

  Well here it is in my daughter's room in white against the dark navy blue walls. I have a number of these chairs used for dining and occasional chairs all over my home.
 I have dark brown stained ones from the early 1970's, white ones from the 1980's and cherry red gloss examples from this decade. 

 They are unbeatable for their comfort and practicality.  In my view the Series 7 will compliment any interior, and can be stacked for easy storage.

  I am also obsessed with yellow and the yellow ceramic piece on the bedhead is one of a pair of wonderful 
Italian 1970's pendant lights which have since been installed as hanging bedside lights.


Australian stylist Marcus Hay obviously feels the same way about the chair and the colours....yellow and blue. 
 Below are a few pics from his Manhattan apartment as featured in Elle Decoration.

The empty frame is also an interesting addition.

Love the way the old doors have been used as a way of delineating a dining area by providing a back drop in a very small space

    1. Hi Annie
      Thanks for your lovely comment!
      We were inspired by an apartment in Nyc from AD that I blogged a while back. Della (my daughter) loves her pop posters like any teen, although we have moved on from Green Day now! That pic was taken over a year ago. Will post newer pics soon...the lights look fantastic!

  2. agree thoroughly about the chairs. An absolute classic -in any era of architecture they hold their own.

    Your daughter's bedroom is stunning! Those dark blue walls are sensational. And as for the blue ceramic wear, I have been hankering for some pieces like that for a while. They are always so jolly expensive! But I shall keep hunting for the elusive bargain, hidden in a dusty corner somewhere....

    1. Thank you so much for your comment regarding my daughter's room. It was great to be able to 'go for it' with the very dark walls! I really do think you can do no wrong with depth as the silouhette of everything seems to 'pop' so well against the deep coloured walls.
      I do think that the room may have looked better in that shot with navy blue bedding as well!

      Oh well, will have to reshoot and restyle when I get some time.
