HAMBURG HOME MAKES AN ILLUMINATING STATEMENT

April 17, 2008

Nicky Graebert sent these photos into me – this is his family’s first home in Hamburg, Germany – dashing, daring, bold, lively and all distinctively designed by his mother. Met Nicky on A Small World and he was kind enough to submit these photos for posting on this blog.

Nicky says that although his mother is not a professional interior designer, she has certainly decorated three homes as if she were trained in the fine art of interior decor. So far she has put her skilled design eye to work on the family’s two houses in Hamburg, Germany and a studio loft in London.

As you can see, Nicky’s mom has used color, patterns and dramatic lighting to create a vibrant home…a house that on the outside looks quite traditional (see below) but on the inside is the ultimate in ultra modern living!

Love the use of color and pattern in this kitchen (above). Also, really like the sleek cabinetry and high-style stainless appliances.

Below, dramatic ceiling and wall lights work to make these living spaces glow.

Did you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-ÉlyséeDid you know one Sunday a month, the Champs-Élysées closes to traffic entirely?
No cars. Just people, walking straight down the center with the Arc de Triomphe ahead. Then I walked home over The Seine. It had just rained, and the sky was doing something extraordinary. And of course, the Eiffel Tower showed up right on cue.
Paris on a quiet Sunday is something else. 🖤

This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millo This St Germain apartment, designed by Félix Millory @felixmillory , is defined by two things: a tightly controlled material palette and a sculptural art collection that runs through every room without exception.
Travertine frames every doorway. Dark smoked oak covers the joinery and cabinetry. Grey marble runs across the kitchen counters and island. Within that framework, figurative sculptures on the shelves, a large totemic piece at the entrance, stone forms on the dining table, a large-format artwork in the kitchen. Every room has at least one object that demands your attention. 🗿
→ Save this if you’re designing around a sculpture collection.
