last week ruben at uxus design in amsterdam sent over some beautiful pictures of a children’s playroom they had designed- at mcdonald’s of all places. i was really intrigued by their design work in that space so i was thrilled to hear from ruben again this weekend about a residential space they’d finished in amsterdam. uxus designed this gorgeous canal house in the center of amsterdam and i couldn’t resist posting it. it’s so dramatic and chic it makes me want to move to amsterdam just for that gorgeous dusty-amber light they get (it also makes me want to put drapes around everything in our house). click here for more of uxus’ work and click here for full-sized (and additional) versions of these images. thanks to ruben and everyone at uxus for sharing.
Does anyone know who makes the chair in the last photograph? It’s wonderful.

I’m in love with the piece in the 7th imagine – the bird in the glass cage – and won’t be satisfied until someone passes along its details (and confirms it’s out of my price range)!
These are the coolest sputnik lamps I’ve ever seen — except for the one in Grace’s kitchen, of course :)

the chair in the last picture is Rex. It was designed in 1954 by a Slovenian designer/architect Niko Kralj. It’s featured in the MOMA. No idea who sells it abroad, though.
The first pic of the bedroom is sublime!! Love it!

Rachael – I think the dining chairs are the “Manilla,” available through The Conran Shop. There’s also an armchair version, and it comes in natural or black. (I’ve been looking at that design for a while now.)

What kind of bedding is the in the first shot? Linen? If not, where can I find good linen bedding?
I feel like if I slept here, I’d wake up as the ghost of Walt Whitman and blow kisses to my visitors while riding a wolf around the living room.
thank you for such moody design, i love it/*
Phallic and vaginal?? I think that’s just you =D
I love this. I was going to add some more colour to my home, but now I want to do neutrals only! Only thing is the scull craze. When is it going out of fashion? Please tell me it’s soon!
I must confess I hate the horns. And the skulls are just too much, in my opinion. Anything that reminds me of dead animals or people must be kept away from a home. I wouldn’t feel neither comfortable nor welcome in such dwelling. “Romantic” and “sexy” are not words I would use to describe this style. More like “Dr. Frankenstein” if you account for all the references to body parts… ;)
I love the “drapping “curtains in the first picture and the painting in the background, very theatrical !
I love this sneak peek.
