apartment therapy changing the world, one room at a time

I can appreciate his decorating asthetic - but the spaghetti of exposed electrical conduit all over the place and fuse boxes would drive me insane.

Ugh the pink bedroom! It looks like pepto exploded on the walls. Gag!

Yikes! That pink bedroom is TOO pink. Looks too much like pepto.

How can I not love a guy who buys rugs from both Target and Timorous Beasties? That's roughly a $6k difference and a fine example of high/low shopping.

a friend of mine had a room that color when we were in grade school and it actually got too hot when the sun shone into it . . .

I'm all for exposed pipes and ductwork in a loft space, but that living room looks a mess. I'd just as soon see a beautiful screen or even a wall of fabric covering that mess up.

I love everything about this, I wouldn't change a single thing. You know what this space needs, the one thing that would put it over the top... one of those gigantic horse lamps from Moooi: http://www.moooi.com/producten/124-horse-lamp.html

Looks like Barbie Gone Wild!

Is this a legitimate loft space?

I like the photos of his place on http://www.designspongeonline.com/2009/03/sneak-peek-david-alhadeff-of-the-future-perfect.html

but nymag, not so much.

MESS!

I don't care for the pink, but junction boxes and ductwork aren't all that odd in a loft.

I just looked at the design sponge photos and they're much more interesting!

Not digging this hipster too cool to care design.

Perhaps the pink is only calming when one is physically IN the room? Because I'm feeling a bit agitated when looking at the photo...

That's a lot of pink for a dude!

It's like, how cool are you? Are you so cool that this looks good to you? Or do you suck, and it looks painful?

I suck. It's painful

I don't get these comments at all. I think it's fabulous!!!

(And yes, the photos on D*S are better...)

I love the pink. Individualism at its best.

Here's a link to model turned Art Director Nicola Vassel's Brooklyn loft in that same New York Mag article...

I agree with Anna at D16. I think this place looks amazing! The pink is really different and fresh, I would like to sit in that room to see how calming it really is. Really like the "floating" shelves, I have a weakspot for those. In general, I just really love how everything somehow works together.

I am left feeling like it was not designed, it just kind of happened.
On a sidenote I do not understand the lambskin on Eames rocker look. To me it ruins the lines.

I LOVE this space! the living room looks like the coolest place to hang out. its beautiful. I think the pink is awesome, but I couldn't ever do it.

another hipster abode. yawn.

I don't see how inducing a hysterical need to claw my way out of a pepto pink room could be considered "calming"! (Maybe if you are there long enough it's "numbing" -- I could believe that!) (I have heard that they experimented using this color in holding cells in prisons for it's alleged calming properties, but I will take nice soothing pale blues and greys for calm, any day!)

Love the wires & structured chaos.
The pink is gay 80ies ;)
