| Ominous Skull Armchair for Deviant Modern Interiors Posted: 28 Mar 2014 10:32 AM PDT Skull Armchair is an ominously powerful looking piece of furniture by French designer Harold Sangouard, aka Harow, that seems fit for anyone interested in comfort as they plot sinister moves. Consisting of a black gloss resin exterior sitting atop a steel internal frame, the Skull Chair is a geometric, stylized take on the human skull. It is a clever mixture of fine furniture and sculpture brutal- skull and chair are linked in a sculptural equilibrium. May be gaudy or awesome, horrible or pretty, vanguardist or Louis XV, Conan the Barbarian or futuristic design, but there's something about it that hypnotizes your mind. Measuring over 40 inches, this chair is an imposing piece of furniture. More than just a unique design, the chair features plush foam cushioning covered in luxurious black velvet. The Skull Armchair is manufactured to order, taking 8 weeks to produce. Made by hand, each piece (in black or gold) is a unique work. What do you think are the interiors best suited for this design? Would you consider having it in your home?

| Artful Display of Lines and Japanese Influences: Project 355 Mansfield in California Posted: 28 Mar 2014 08:04 AM PDT Project 355 Mansfield is a five-bedroom modern residence designed and completed by Amit Apel Design in Los Angeles, California. The house invites residents to enjoy the benefits of a breezy, well-ventilated living space whilst exploring the contrasts and the artful display of lines. Featuring a magnificent open plan living room, a spacious master bedroom with its very own private balcony and four other bedrooms with bathroom spaces, the house faces a green rear courtyard and a quiet street. Interior is very modern, elegant, with twists of edginess. A good description for the house would be: a wonderful place to relax and forget about the problems at the end of the day, enhanced with Japanese style features. As expected, simplicity plays a key role in decoration. With project 355 Mansfield, the designer wanted to create a space that breathes, a clean-lined and uncluttered living environment. The neutrality of the interior was softened with wooden accents. Rooms feature dramatic chandeliers or by case, extremely modern light fixtures, Japanese-inspired planters and decorative vases of different forms and shapes. White, grey and black compose the chromatic symphony of the place. “The outdoor yard is enhanced with Japanese style landscaping to create the privacy wanted while also enjoying the California spa. Float up the stairs to the second level and relish the light and airy environment of bedroom and bathroom spaces. Three additional bedrooms offer no less than the same quality design existent throughout.”              You're reading Artful Display of Lines and Japanese Influences: Project 355 Mansfield in California originally posted on Freshome.
