Philippe Starck Masters Chair – Our Malibu Home Update

October 5, 2015

Malibu dining room ocean view
Our dining room in Malibu…a design work in progress…but now we have chairs we like!

Imagine a beautiful house on hill with gorgeous ocean views with little or no furniture…well that is our house in Malibu!! My guy TE and I are two months into living together after “the great move”. I call it “the great move” because it was quite an ordeal getting our home renovation project to a point where we could live in it…and then moving his family and me into the one house. We brought almost no furniture from his former place by the beach and from my tiny little cottage in the Hollywood Hills. We spent months and months planning the home remodel…but little time planning the furniture. So here we are, just weeks before the holiday season begins with family members coming to visit with very little furniture.  We are the inadvertent minimalists!

The good news is…we do have some dining chairs! Woohooo!! A few weeks ago, TE and I were on the internet looking and searching for an option for chairs that might work in our dining room. We have a favorite dining chair that we have been toying with for the dining room but it is way too expensive for our budget right now.  So we were looking for some alternates…a chair that is delicate, modern with a hint of classic that would blend well with the stunning long steel dining room table TE found while he was on business trip in Paris this last spring. That day, after realizing our first choice chair was not an option, I remembered another favorite chair that I have been eyeballing for some time that was about 1/3rd the price (click here to see my first blog post about this chair way back when). The Philippe Starck Masters Chair.  It seemed like it could work in our space.  When TE saw the chair, he was immediately open to the idea of this being our dining chair option.  That same day, we popped into Kartell on Robertson in Los Angeles and bought 8 of them!  When we made the purchase, we were kind of thinking of these black polypropylene chairs as temporary placeholders. Our thought was these Masters Chairs would do the design trick for a year or so until we could afford others…but now…now…we are thinking differently. When we put these chairs around the long steel and oak dining table, it all worked.  Funny…once again, we have yet another design moment in the house where his style and her style come together in the perfect blend.

Speaking of merging styles, the chair is the blend of the silhouettes of 3 famous mid century modern classic chairs: The Saarinen Tulip chair, The Series 7 Chair by Arne Jacobsen and the Eames Molded Chair. The perfect blend of styles like with me and TE.

    I ADORE these chairs. We have them in gray with a glass table – a bit of Art Nouveau and yet so light and elegant!

Keep it simple. No need for bells and whistles an Keep it simple.  No need for bells and whistles and fancy things to make your house a home.  In this picture, a plant, two chairs I found at the flea market, a layered rug situation and some modern art...de-cluttered space can be equally as inviting as one filled with memories and treasures.  If you are stuck with how to decorate, I say keep it simple.  Purge and start with the basics.  Full disclosure, this is a shot of my living room from a few years ago when I first moved in...I didn’t even have drapes up when this was taken.  I have since added pieces and changed out furniture and added a 2nd sofa...but it started super simple and it was lovely back then.  When the world is swirling around us and making no sense, how are you keeping things simple at home?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last Pre-pandemic throw back photo to where I was last year.  Clueless as to what was to come.  Was in Paris, with my mom, enjoying her summer apartment in the middle of the 6th arrondissement.  I had just left the U.K. visiting friends for a few days in London and the Cotswolds.  None of us knew that this summer 2020 would be so different.  Today, I can only hope this time of tumult and great divides leads somehow to a future of calm and harmony.  Going backwards in time is not an option.  Pushing forward is.  Happy Sunday to you.  Where were you last summer?  Where do you imagine you’ll be next? Xoxo #socococozy #bringstylehome
Incredible living room before and after as designe Incredible living room before and after as designed by my good friend Steve Jones @bettershelter!  I went on a tour today.  I also went on a tour a year ago when he first got the house.  See my stories. Swipe to see what this room looked like before.  Life lesson from a room transformation:  When faced with the daunting and not so pretty, look to do the work, and you can make changes to bring  out what is good.  Right?  This home by the way is going on the market soon and is in one of my favorite parts of town, View Park.  What changes have you made lately that have turned bad into good? #socococozy #bringstylehome #remodeling #homerenovation #californiadreaming
“Be patient with yourself it has been a funky fe “Be patient with yourself it has been a funky few months in the world.” My friend Manon texted this advice to me today.  She is right.  A little patience and a lot of kindness to yourself and to others during these unusual times will go a long way.
***
Am in my living room right now looking at these pretty flowers in that white urn I found lying around.  The urn works (see Flower Power highlights for backstory). Thinking on who I might send one of these bouquets to today as a little act of kindness.  Still working on the patience piece of her advice! 🤪 Who might you send flowers to?  How can you be more patient with yourself? Happy Saturday!

Hi! Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciti Hi!  Finally something to smile about! 😂 Exciting flower news today as I debut the first ever COCOCOZY designed bouquet in my latest partnership! Tada.  Here is The Classic by COCOCOZY exclusively on @ftdflowers + @proflowers as part of their #herestoher initiative!  Swipe left to see it up close.  I wanted to design a super lush classically beautiful bouquet that would look good in any home during the fall/winter.  Roses, eucalyptus and so much more in soft whites and greens.  I am so happy with the final product.  What’s great is that this hand tied bouquet comes in a box straight to your door and you can put it in any vase.  If you swipe left you can see it in my breakfast room.  Perfect for sending as a birthday gift, celebration, expression of love or friendship, a business gift, a thank you to someone or I recommend ordering for yourself every couple of weeks to cheer up your space as we stay at home more!  I plan on getting them weekly!  Anyhoooo...I’m linking to the bouquet in my profile.  Have you ever ordered flowers for yourself just because?  Who might you send these to?  #socococozy #bringstylehome #cococozy
