The mind is an advantageous thing…proven time and time again by the global design community that ever so consistently pushes the creative envelope. Inspired by grandmothers who knit, “Fat Knits” Collection by Bauke Knottnerus is comprised of threads in various forms, colors, sizes and shapes. Over sized, interlocked and piled, this collection of “interior products” is a cross between contemporary furniture with suggestive functions and art objects with alluring aesthetics. Either way, it is KNOT to be missed or overshadowed (pun intended).
“Men are from Mars, women are from Venus” is not a new concept but rather a familiar notion that stretches across all realms of life, and interior décor choices are not an exception. Here are some examples of what rooms would look like if either the husband or the wife had the upper hand at picking out the furniture.
The very masculine black leather upholstery and clean lines of the Ess designer sectional sofa by Gamma Arredamenti versus the softer lines and earthy-colored leather upholstery of the Deborah sectional sofa by Polaris; the sleek look of the Dylan designer bed contrasted with the more timeless design of the Sayonara leather bed by Gamma and finally the edgy, chrome dominated Hyatt dining table and the (almost) classic, marble clad Viola d’Amore dining table by Cattelan Italia collectively highlight the stark differences between female and male preferences (in general) when it pertains their room décor.
