Green Room by Ontwerpduo

We love the work of Dutch design firm Ontwerpduo, particularly because of the way they take old things and combine them in new ways. Checking in with them online, we discovered this green bedroom designed for an empty house that was turned into an exhibition space...

The "green room" utilizes furniture and products designed by Ontwerpduo: their something old something new bag, their dot pause and shift stools, and their neighbird bird house.

The room synthesizes the elements of an old fashioned bedroom with a palette of greens and browns.

Objects that seem like they came from a thrift store are combined with newer custom designs. The result is a room that seems to exist somewhere between the past and the present.

The project presents an interesting approach to decorating. The simplified scheme and color palette form the basis of relationships between vintage and contemporary objects.

Sigh. So peaceful and calming.

Oh crap, I NEEEED that cushioned ottoman thing! It's Beautiful!

Mint - so hard/impossible to pull off but SO AWESOME when done right. This is a gorgeous room.

I fell in love with a slightly darker shade of this color.

Here's a picture of the room it was in at Casadecor. It looks gorgeous with the wood chair back.

oh my goodness, it's scripps green!

(a big high five to anyone who knows the reference)

Stunning use of color! IMPRESSED!

I love the room. Anyone know how to buy any of this stuff? Also, the "dot, pause, and shift" items were FABULOUS. I found it hard to understand the German of the "further information" of the catalogue. Can anyone tell us where the "dot, pause, and shift" items can be ordered? And how much, in American dollars, this stuff costs?

Have I mentioned that I LOVE this work?

This made my day.

My first real rode bike was classic Celeste Green Bianchi I have always loved this color, very Italian.

No one else thinks this looks like a women's barracks?

I agree, it's a little bit hospital, a little bit grandma (my nanna had a room just like this), and somehow...it's still cool :)

@ AustinSarah2:
Are you referring to he (Dutch not German) website www.pode.nl, specifically this page? http://www.pode.nl/#/16
The smallest ottoman in the picture is €345. You can get the Pode furniture in The Netherlands, Belgium and Turkey. The "further information" is about how to keep the furniture clean and to call the store of your choice to ask if they have the item of your choice in stock.

I love the curtains - any ideas where to get them?
