Knock-Off Report: How to Get a Mid-Century Look With Ikea

By Ty Wenzel • Oct 22nd, 2008 • Category: Featured, Interiors Exteriors, Product & Merch, Retro Modern

Have you figured out yet that I’m obsessed with Mid-Century modern design? Even so, alas, I don’t have the income to go the *authentic* route, what with a child and his future at stake (i.e. I’d rather save for his ivy-league education), so I usually go the knock-off or “inspired-by” route. I like [...]



Sweet condo

Visit DesireToInspire!
Check out the getaway condo of architects Tom Huth and Bruce Skiles Danzer in Provincetown, Massachusetts. Mid-century classics, bold artwork and cool colours make this home a new favourite of mine. It was featured in New England Home, and the magazine included a quote from Danzer that I think is priceless coming from an [...]



Mike Witt

By Ty Wenzel • Oct 22nd, 2008 • Category: Interiors Exteriors

Visit DesireToInspire!

Mike Witt designs rooms with a modern aesthetic with more than a nod to mid-century influences. Is it obvious that he has spent years of studying, buying and selling 20th century decorative and fine arts? To me these spaces are classics of the future. Even though he uses finishes that may be thought cold [...]

Clare Cousins Architects

Visit DesireToInspire!

Wonderful modern homes designed by Melbourne architectural and interior design studio Clare Cousins Architects. I love the use of unusual materials and colour particularly the turquoise colour blocking. These are great examples of integration of internal spaces with the outdoors, so important in climates like Australia’s. It’s all to do with sympathetic orientation, materials [...]



Guido Barbagelata

By Ty Wenzel • Oct 22nd, 2008 • Category: Interiors Exteriors

Visit DesireToInspire!

Big, bright, bold …. bravo! Strong gutsy images from Italian photographer Guido Barbagelata. The colours are intense, the composition is spot on and the photos have a real presence. This ain’t no wishy washy portfolio. Italians have style and a great eye for beauty but Guido takes it to the next level. You’ll find [...]
