Powers of Ten

Posted October 14th, 2010 in Architecture & Home, Design by Zélia

Do you intend to have design crushes from time to time? Being madly in love with a specific designer? It may be cliché, it may be weird, but I do love Charles and Ray Eames, as they evoke to me the perfect symbiosis between being a couple and being a team in order to produce great design. Anyway, as much as I wanted to, I never took the time to look further in their experimental work. So when I discovered the power of ten, I was mesmerized. And since Amazon is kind enough to suggest other works I could dive into, I think I’ve found out my next leisure activity for the next weeks. (If I had any leisure time, anyway,ahah. What a joke.)

Eames house blocks

If I had kids, I’d definitely offer them those neat Eames blocks. Turn them, and they make a mid-modernist house. Yeah, well, not tha playful for the little ones, but definitely for me! :) Buy here!

In a week or so, I’ll officially have the keys of my new house. I’ll probably be blogging about the evolution of the interior, as we’ve got much to do in there to make it alovely place. I definitely can’t wait! :D Until then, I’ll be dying for home inspiration.
