Eccentric nonsense you may say but I have found out that I simply adore certain pieces of this furniture. I think the trick is to use only one single piece in one room - this helps the eye to get used to it and appreciative for the happiness those colours will spread in your house.
"What started as a desire to showcase her collection of 19th century fabrics and silk turned out to be a fascinating business enterprise for Lisa Whatmough, who set up Squint in 2005 to make bespoke armchairs and sofas". (read more on luxury-insider)

Dear Petra, Although I own nothing like the furniture you show here, it certainly has an appeal for me. As you say, I feel that it would be best used as a statement piece in a room with little in the way of competition. But, it certainly has humour, eccentricity and a dynamism which I think could make for a most exciting interior.
ReplyDeleteI love these pieces!! The colours and patterns are so vibrant and fun :-)
ReplyDeleteI agree, one piece like this in a room is all you need to really make a statement.

P.S. I've just launched a new interior design blog. Stop by and check it out when you have a chance :-)
Dear Edith, I don't either but I would love that chair in mostly black colours.
ReplyDeleteFirst I was struck and thought how crazy - but the more I looked at those pieces the more I liked them. They have something very special....
Hi Kelly, congratualtions for your new blog baby. It sounds like great fun and I look forward to see the next posts!
