The second floor bedroom is a box suspended over the larger main floor and reachable only by a set of stairs that seem to hover along the wall like a childâ€s zig-zag drawing. The white walls, ceiling and floors give you the sensation of relaxing in a wash of light.

It is only separated from the living room by a glass that has the same function of theatrical wings. The essential, low bed is opposed to the expressive bathtub (“La vasca” by Matteo Thun)

Each piece of furniture in this modern house becomes a crucial design element in the cocoon of white. The bold red sofa, pink retro refrigerator and other pieces are like bold splashes of pure pigment on a white canvas. We love the slender, leggy, chocolate brown bathroom sink. The Verner Panton dining room chairs are strong enough to hold their own in white because their iconic shape is such a powerful statement they donâ€t need any color.

“Charoonkit Thahongâ€s New York loft mixes Hollywood regency with mid-century modern overtones to create a space that celebrates good design. Some gems include the 1969 VP Globe lamp by Verner Panton, the Fortuny Moda lamp, the Knoll Tulip armless chairs and the oh-so-fun black Victorian love-seat. Thahong, an art director for R/GA, has managed to infuse warmth into the otherwise over-sized, industrial space (located in Hellâ€s Kitchen) adding subtle touches of glamour to finish off the look. Itâ€s proof that life without walls doesnâ€t mean sticking to only one aesthetic; Thahongâ€s space is fit for both Charles Eames and Marie Antoinette!”

…swoon…

If you live in a loft, open floor plan, or studio, book cases without a solid back allow light through but create a divider.

..a pretty corner…

Here’s a few pics from a tribeca loft, also as seen in Loft Life magazine

What do you think of the curtain divider with artwork displayed on it like a wall?
