what a pair!

LOVE this pair of chairs from ulivi, recently spotted at modern living on beverly. retro/traditional + contemporary modern = total fabulousness! to m21's eye they are looking fresh and fairly unique on the market- no small feat!

things have really gone to pot around here...

m21 at the linea showroom, wishing he had an outdoor space big enough to accommodate the gargantuan goodness of these giant planters from serralunga.

new york, from above

boy, are these photos of new york city making m21 long for a visit (though we think we'll wait until the weather is a little more tolerable- it's freakishly muggy and warm here in los angeles, so we'd imagine NYC with a projected high of 95 degrees today is like a steambath). lots more amazing pics here.

have a nice weekend, kids! stay cool!

really, i would...

the art of cooking has always held little interest for m21- it's always been easier to order out, or even better yet, just go out.

but i swear, i would learn to cook if i had a stunningly beautiful poliform kitchen like this:

really, i would...

completely crazy...

but m21 loves them anyway!

no, they aren't from a new line of dr. suess licensed outdoor furniture, but rather tord boontje for moroso. m21 spotted them this weekend as he strolled the design district in west hollywood, soaking up inspiration for a fun, new project in the hollywood hills that will require a few really modern statement pieces to make it sing. (m21's young and hip new clients needn't worry- these chairs SO aren't for you, and frankly, m21 can't imagine any project where they'd work, but we love that they exist, nonetheless).


this chic vignette from the same showroom is more up our alley, though we'd ditch the chairs in the top photo and replace them with the leather sling numbers below- just to butch things up a bit.


all the fabulousness is from the GGM italy showroom on beverly at robertson.
