GEO LOUNGE

This week's Fashion Friday design board is inspired by Marco de Vincenzo Ready-to-Wear Spring 2015 Collection; in particular the geometric prints that I so lovingly adore. 

When we think of geometrics in interiors, we often think of bold bright patterns in different shapes and sizes. Geometry is ubiquitous in our natural environment and will often also be found in architecture, furniture design, and fabrics. It is no longer confined to being displayed as art and is accessible to all.

It is not just a contemporary trend; it is one that has endured throughout history. The Ancient Greek and Moroccans both used bold geometric patterns as part of their architectural and interior design. The idea that a simple shape can create complex patterns is something this is universally appreciated.

Geometric prints are immediate eye catchers, and the most important thing is to have fun with it. These prints are meant to be fun and exciting whether it's for your wardrobe or your interior spaces.

My favorite design element in this design board is the Mirth Studio wood tiles designed by 

Antonino Buzzetta. You can view Mirth Studio's fantastic wood tile collection here.

Have a lovely weekend, Ciao

MIRTH STUDIO - PATTERNED WOOD FLOOR TILES

For those of you who love color, pattern and diversity in your interior space, you should definitely check out Mirth Studio. Owner and founder, Sally Bennett is a pure design genius.  Sally is an artist, interior designer and the inventor of Mirth Studio in Charleston, South Carolina.  She came up with this ingenious idea of making patterned, hardwood floor tiles (which consequently is the only company in the world making this type of product...how cool is that?)  Mirth Studio has partnered with a manufacturer to produce digitally printed wood tiles that look hand painted.

Sally has tapped into a market that's been virtually unheard of and making a splash in the design world.  I am completely in awe of this innovative, new product and am absolutely excited about the prospect of adding a few of these gorgeous wood tiles somewhere in my home.  

The 12" x 12" wood tiles are made of engineered wood and can be easily installed right over plywood or concrete - the tiles snap into place to create a beautiful, colorful pattern.  Mirth Studio is offering this great concept as stair risers as well... totally awesome.  Make sure to check out Mirth Studio here...you'll be wanting to rip out your old flooring for some of these beauties!
