FUNCTION AND FORM | A UNIQUE GATHERING

26 October 2015

Function-And-Form-Gatherings-Introduction-01
 

You may have noticed that I haven’t been posting as much on the blog lately… all with good reason!

I’ve been quietly working away with my friend Tiff from Curate & Display on a fabulous new venture which we are finally proud to reveal.

Function and Form is a new collaborative gathering combining relaxed, informal dining with handcrafted design. As so much of our lives today are spent online, we seek to bring the enjoyment of interior and lifestyle design into a tangible being whilst enjoying the company of like-minded friends. A chance to make new connections, a chance for real conversation. Each gathering focuses on the work of a designer who we admire for their ethos, their aesthetic, sharing with us their inspiration and inviting us to delve deeper into their process.

Beautiful food in a venue equally so, in great company.

 

Function-And-Form-Gatherings-Introduction-02

The idea for Function+Form came about when Tiff and I felt there was a lack of well organised, regular socials that were aesthetically pleasing.

We were both feeling the gulf between the online community and the real-life isolation of working alone and decided to bring about a new gathering. F+F focuses broadly on interior design and our intention is to bring like-minded individuals together who share our simple, contemporary aesthetic and desire for slow-living.

 
Function-And-Form-Gatherings-Introduction-03

We will be running gatherings three to four times a year which are currently free of charge thanks to the support of our sponsors and partners with no more than 20-25 spaces at one time.

You don’t have to be an industry professional to join us, if you have a passion for interiors, design and creative pursuits, you are very welcome, just drop us an email. Our gatherings are also a great platform for showcasing and promoting new and independent designers and craftsmanship.

I can’t tell you how excited we are to host our first gathering sponsored by online community at{mine} in a couple of weeks which is now fully booked. It’s going to be awesome!

If you love interiors and slow living you will have heard of The Kinfolk Home book that has just been released to squeals of delights from interiors addicts around the world.

Today’s shots are a taster of a very special Los Angeles home which grabbed my attention, styled by the owner Jessica de Ruiter herself and shot by one of my favs… Pia Ulin. To me these pictures are an utter delight to look through. The muted natural tones and textures and the earthy informal look and feel give this place real warmth and comfort.

Looking at the list of contributing stylists and photographers I’m quietly confident that the other homes along with it’s owners will be equally inspiring.

One for the Christmas wish list!

A STUDIO APARTMENT BRIMMING WITH GREENERY

16 October 2015

This tiny studio apartment caught my eye because of the playful way plants have been integrated into the interior design. You might have heard of Urban Jungle Bloggers run by my blogging buddies Judith and Igor and I think this would be a great fit for their community – kinda living with plants taken to the extreme in a small space.

After my initial gasp at the greenery my second thought was that it looked too messy for me but on reflection this messy interior gives a really cosy feel and is a deliberate choice by the stylist I’m sure.

After all this studio is up for sale on Stadshem and it sure stands out amongst the tidy, clean and streamlined interiors.

HIGHLAND LODGE BY SUZY HOODLESS

14 October 2015

Hard to believe that this modern Highland Lodge made from granite, steel and glass by American architect Moshe Safdie is an actual family home, albeit at the end of a 13 mile drive in the Scottish Highlands.

British interior designer Suzy Hoodless expertly managed to juxtapose the interior finishes with the rugged beauty of the landscape. I adore the use of contrasting elements like the antlers and traditional marble bench or the modern fireplace in the sitting room with it’s concave pink mirror above surrounded by a group of colourful and comfortable looking sofas.

The pared back interior and clean lines of this one-of-a-kind Highland Lodge are very nordic and provide a great stage for Scandinavian furniture mixed with bespoke pieces.

I’m absolutely mesmerised by the angular mirrored side table with it’s reflections – almost a piece of art in itself though I think I would continually feel the need to polish.

Some autumnal inspiration for you on this crisp Monday with quintessentially English fashion brand Cabbages And Roses for their latest AW 2015 look book.

There’s a slight edge and attitude to the model who is a 21st century version of the typical English Rose – slightly moody and rebellious with a good dose of Downton Abbey thrown in.
