El diseño escandinavo emerge en los años 50 en los tres países escandinavos (Dinamarca, Noruega y Suecia) así como Finlandia.

Se caracteriza por diseños simples, sencillos , la funcionalidad, y la producción en masa del bajo costo.

La idea de que los objetos diarios hermosos y funcionales no sólo sean comprables a los ricos pero a todos, es un tema de la base en el desarrollo de modernismo y functionalismo, pero también se ve en diseño escandinavo .
El diseño escandinavo hace uso de la madera presionada, los plásticos, aluminio anodizado o esmaltado o acero presionado.

Esta semana el diseño escandinavo, ocupa la sección TOTAL LOOK.

Simplicidad en las formas

Scandinavian design emerges in the 50's in the three Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway and Sweden) and Finland.

It is characterized by simple design, simple functionality, and mass production of low cost.

The idea that beautiful and functional everyday objects are not only affordable to the rich but to all, is a core issue in the development of modernism and functional, but is also seen in Scandinavian design.

Scandinavian design makes use of pressed wood, plastic, enamelled or anodized aluminum or pressed steel.

This week the Scandinavian design fills the TOTAL LOOK.

MOSAICO HIDRÁULICO EN LA DECORACIÓN/HYDRAULIC TILE IN DECORATION

"Estas baldosas no están hechas de barro o adobe, ni cocidas, como en el caso de las baldosas de cerámica. Como su nombre lo indica, estos suelos están hechos de cemento comprimido con prensas hidráulicas. Esto es confiere una gran resistencia y solidez."

A mediados del siglo XIX, se desarrolla en Barcelona una industria de baldosa hidráulica, que al coincidiendo con el Modernismo en Cataluña, produjo que por mucho tiempo Barcelona ocupara una posición puntera nivel mundial, tanto en la producción de baldosas hidráulicas, como marcando la tendencia en su diseño.

Os dejo algunos maravillosos pavimentos para deleitarnos este lunes.

Feliz semana a todos!

These tiles are not made of mud or adobe, or cooked, as in the case of ceramic tiles. As its name suggests, these floors are made of compressed cement hydraulic presses. This is gives great strength and solidity. "

A mid-nineteenth century, takes place in Barcelona hydraulic tile industry, that coincide with the Modernism in Catalonia, led Barcelona for a long time occupied a leading position worldwide in the production of hydraulic tiles, as marking the trend in its design.
I leave with some wonderful floor to delight on Monday.

“Enjoy them: the beauty of the planks themselves –so astonishingly wide and long, you will look in vain for partitions or joints where none can be found; the fragrance of the wood as you enter the room; the distinct, deep resonance of your footsteps on the solid planks; and the soft sensation of the grains of wood as you gently touch the surface. A unique experience.

Photographer Bobo Olsson

Another photographer with the same agent as Fabian Björnstjerna who shot the kitchen below, is Bobo Olsson. He regularly works for the mags Residence and Elle Interiör and I have featured his work before, but only credited the stylist then. Now I want to shine the light on Bobo, as I think he is a great photographer! His works stands out in the way that the light isn't the same as in most other pics by Scandi photographers, and the contrasts are harder, which I think makes Bobo's work looks more international.

SSALONES PURO ECLECTICISMO/LIVING ROOM :PURE ECLECTIC

eclecticismo: Arquitectura que se desarrolló en Europa y en Norteamérica durante la segunda mitad del siglo XIX, caracterizada porque selecciona elementos de diversos estilos para desarrollar diseños arquitectónicos decorativos diversos.

Espejos barrocos, sillas de los '50, poufs marroquís,mobiliario industrial, lámparas actuales, todo en su justa medida, sin utilizar colores muy estridentes en las piezas, buscando esa neutralidad para el aspecto final de la estancia , es el éxito de mezclar consiguiendo la armonia.
Podemos colocar una pieza "fuerte" en forma o color, un toque , como el sillón rojo de la primera foto, si queremos romper un poco esa gama neutra , o nos parece algo monótono.

I LOVE eclecticismo... and you?


eclecticism: architecture that developed in Europe and North America during the second half of the nineteenth century, characterized in that select elements from different styles to develop various decorative architectural designs.



Baroque mirrors, chairs from the 50s, Moroccan poufs, industrial furniture, lamps today, everything in its proper place, without using very loud colors on the pieces, looking for that neutrality for the final appearance of the room, is getting mixed success harmony.


We can arrange a "strong" in form or color, a touch, like the red chair in the first picture, if we break a little the neutral range, or seem a little boring.


I LOVE eclectic ... and you?

takes a look inside Alvar Aalto's design office, a nice follow up to the earlier feature on his home.

"Like his home, the Atelier facade is nearly windowless and quite plain. The majority of windows are on the rear and sides of the building where they can take full advantage of the limited (in winter) Finnish sunlight.

Upon entrance, the building is home to the office of the Alvar Aalto Foundation, the Alvar Aalto Academy and the Alvar Aalto Museum Architectural Heritage. The foundation maintains both the home at Riihitie 20 and this studio building. The majority of the space that is open for touring is the second floor office and meeting space.

The office include a large group drafting room, a small private conference room and a large studio space that was the private office Alvar Aalto."
