I Heart… ‘Decorative Monochrome’
There’s something so alluring about black and white. It’s crisp and modern, bold and graphic, sophisticated and classic, playful and energetic. It reinvents itself with every use and never goes out of style. There’s nothing I love more than that: timelessness. That’s what separates trend from thoughtful design. If you’re not going to love something in 6 months’ time, why bother? Because design isn’t only about keeping up with the Joneses. It’s also about creating something functional and livable that transcends frivolity while still staying true to your own creative vision.
This shoot is from the May issue of LivingEtc., so I’m a wee bit behind the times in posting this, but I’m still as much in love with it as I was the moment I turned the pages for the first time. Like I said: timelessness.
