apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I'm betting its custom-made - it would be simple enough for an upholsterer or a seamstress to do, and use a large beanbag chair insert for fill.

Rainbow pouf?

Well, it's Pride Weekend here in NYC, so pretty sure you will be able to find several along the parade route...

Brilliant, bepsf!

I would totally follow that advice. Because looking around just briefly comes up with a much smaller style here for $2,100:

Here's a page of poufs, but none are like the one shown at Living etc:

Pouf? I thought it was a humongous dog bed!

But, you know, it really looks like those walls are a deep, deep purple to me...

The pouf is made with jane churchill fabric IIRC.

Yay SOL!!!

Thanks to Sol's providing of the name...

Here's that fabric shown on a huge round pillow:

The Helston Weaves are mentioned on this page, under Cowtan and Tout:

And for the L.A. area you could check here for the fabric:

That's via the Stockist finder on the Jane Churchill site. Other locations for the fabric are listed too.

I have a slight suspicion that it's very VERY expensive.

Wahhhh.

But, nevertheless, check out the Collections at the Jane Churchill site and download the small pdf files.

Page 8 of the Sheers and Prints...OMG.

I want that image framed as art. Three Louis Ghost chairs, each done with a different sheer material as a slipcover. With a gossamer curtain of dots. A textured floor, sisal? And a wall finish like a...I don't have the words to describe it. It's beautiful. That whole image is beautiful and serene and ....

I went over to the Cowtan and Tout site:

look at third picture from the top.

THAT is a SMALL COOL idea...

If anyone has a LONG, NARROW apartment, that idea of double sheers is awesome.

It doesn't look NARROW. At all. I suppose it would be important to have a similar material that is part sheer and part opaque, especially something as glimmery gold as that appears to be.

For all we know, that farthest area could be a messy kitchen with a sink full of dishes. But who can tell? Could be a bedroom. Could be moving boxes. Ha!

The curtains reflect light as well as allowing light to pass through. I think that is what makes it really work.

If both sides of the curtains were closed, while dining, and the overhead fixture doesn't look like a BRIGHT bunch of lights, it would be all shimmery and romantic and exotic.

I was hoping for more images of that space on his site:

Don't see it. And I did not see that fabric (Larson's Onward!) on the Larsen link either.

But Gibson DOES use other fabric indoors, as seen here:
http://www.garygibson.com/design_popups/p07.htm

That looks OK, but not nearly as impressive (to me) as the golden and sheer combination.

Anyway, that might make for a good feature, if you could put up that image of the golden curtains for long-narrow homes. And you could plug in the name of the designer, as he is in LA!

It says this about him on the Cowtan site:

His approach is from the artistic angle; creating spaces that invite, excite and envelop the user. "The art of design to me is the balance of texture, scale, color and light."

And I think he did exactly that in that wonderful, long, narrow home.

I'm curious as to why you think this sofa is 1970s - it looks exactly like all the other new sofas you show on this site...

Absolutely bilious.

The pouf is the nicest thing in this picture...the rest is "absolutely bilious"...sorry!

Missed you, p2.

Love the wall color with the mustard

I love that big pouf. I kinda like the brown and mustard. Not sure I'd use it but it looks warm to me.

There must be some purple in that brown or that yellow would do more blending than popping, but regardless, I do love this combination.

Thank you, brittanykate! :)

And the brown and mustard combo has been working on hamburgers and roast beef sandwiches, so why not a living room?

thanks to the comments of True Blue, regarding our use of sheers, which was wilshire corridor penthouse.
please check out our showroom to see more Larson textiles.
including the incredible Onward which Jack Larson designed in the 50's.
