This set up enable the production of three-dimensional cubical shapes. The structure is painted or powder coated and then covered with corrugated plastic also known as ‘Correx’. This material is flame retardant and antistatic. The morphology of the correx gives the possibility to clip it to the metal structure. Marc Trotereau developed a flexible process to create shells that can be use as lampshades for every type of wall, ceiling, and corners… The lampshade becomes a sculptural and unique object, which can adapt its shape to any type of space.”</p> </blockquote> <p>source: <a href="http://www.contemporist.com/2012/05/25/wireshade-by-marc-trotereau/#more-48036" title="source" target="_blank">contemporist.com</a></p> </blockquote>http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/24206970017http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/24206970017Fri, 01 Jun 2012 11:57:15 -0700<p>It&#8217;s not just a structural aesthetic defined by a two-decade span of design.  Read more <a href="http://www.thehour.com/news/real_estate/understanding-mid-century-modern/article_5d979ba8-d6d0-5a48-a6fa-cdbaaedd0d50.html" target="_blank">@TheHourNews</a>.</p> <blockquote> <p>It&#8217;s more than that, a distinctive form of architecture sometimes called &#8220;California Contemporary,&#8221; mid century modern architecture is usually defined through its clean lines, open floor plans, walls of glass, and the feeling of living within nature. These buildings constructed between the 1940&#8217;s through the late 1960&#8217;s by innovative architects with their simplistic styles were ahead of their time. Norwalk, Westport, Weston, Stamford, and especially New Canaan all have some very fine examples of this type of architecture currently for sale.</p> <p>Some of the local pioneers of mid-century modern architecture are John Black Lee, Victor Christ-Janer, George Nemeny, and a group called the Harvard Five; John Johansen, Marcel Breuer, Landis Gores, Eliot Noyes and Phillip Johnson.</p> </blockquote>http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/24140689706http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/24140689706Thu, 31 May 2012 11:57:01 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4ld5emms71qidln4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>I wish the website would tell me about this house specifically, but maybe someone in the interwebs can identify it? </p>http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/24074579901http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/24074579901Wed, 30 May 2012 11:58:02 -0700<a href="http://www.themodernhouse.net/">The Modern House - Real Estate Agents </a>: <p>check out some contemporary listings in the UK :)</p>http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/24008622909http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/24008622909Tue, 29 May 2012 11:58:01 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4lc4smMlY1qidln4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Laslett House, UK | <a href="http://trevordannatt.com/" target="_blank">Trevor Dannatt</a> via @plastolux</p> <p><img height="418" src="http://www.plastolux.com/blog/laslett11.jpg" width="600"/></p> <p><img height="418" src="http://www.plastolux.com/blog/laslett12.jpg" width="600"/></p> <p><img src="http://www.plastolux.com/blog/laslett9.jpg"/></p> <p>See more at <a href="http://plastolux.com/laslett-house-modern-architecture.html" target="_blank">PLASTOLUX</a></p>http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23943470507http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23943470507Mon, 28 May 2012 11:58:55 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lxwneqc1Y71r9sry9o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>white cat drinking from a puddle. </p>http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23877197162http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23877197162Sun, 27 May 2012 12:01:00 -0700black and whitephotography<a href="http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/home_blog/2012/05/bubees-beehive-modern-architecture-for-the-urban-bee.html">Modern Architecture for the Urban Bee #BuBees #savethebees</a>http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23811193038http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23811193038Sat, 26 May 2012 11:54:37 -0700<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m4lbrheZ1v1qidln4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>#theHarvardFive The Bridge House | John Johansen: Glimpse Unique Modern Homes on Fairfield County Architectural Tour</p>http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23745044245http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23745044245Fri, 25 May 2012 12:01:48 -0700<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m2yx5uNkj01qidln4o1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Breathtaking Malibu views: Blair House | <a href="http://www.brucebolander.com/" target="_blank">Bruce Bolander</a></p> <p>tiles, wood slats, concrete, and sky - oh, my!</p> <p><img height="393" src="http://blog.2modern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/blair6.jpg" width="600"/></p> <p><img height="400" src="http://blog.2modern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/blair5.jpg" width="600"/></p> <p><img height="375" src="http://blog.2modern.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/04/blair7.jpg" width="600"/></p> <p>Read more at <a href="http://blog.2modern.com/2012/04/blair-house-by-bruce-bolander-architect.html" target="_blank">2modern</a></p>http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23619686864http://domesticat.tumblr.com/post/23619686864Wed, 23 May 2012 12:01:21 -0700
