simple and serene

I really like the clean lines of built-in sofas, particularly for indoor-outdoor spaces like this one in Mauritania.  Unpretentious fabrics and simple tables give the tile floor center stage, making for a serene place to start the day or relax after a swim.

Design Daily - The X factor

The X factor:  That intangible "something" that makes a person, place or thing special or intriguing.

In design, restraint is often the most essential element in achieving the drama and intrigue we seek.

A bare wall, an uncluttered tabletop

—a stage for light and shadow to play out their dramatic roles.
