Forties Interiors

John Galliano presented for the house of Dior the fall winter 09|10 collection, that was inspired by the chic feminine style of the forties. He knows how to combine textures, colors and prints with a dash of whit. If you are interested to see the collection, click here and enjoy the humour he has added to his inspiration from the forties. We think that this elegant chic style is to apply in the decoration of interiors and for the next blog posts we would like you to inspire with some former interiors. Herewith one we’ve found at David Claudon’s website and that would fit John Galliano’s collection.
Velvet
July 15th, 2009
Velvet is back; the British Vogue categorizes this classic as a trend for next fall | winter. The art of velvet-weaving probably originated in ancient Kashmir around the beginning of the fourteenth century. The first appliance in fifteen century Europe is ascribed to the Italian weavers. This piece of cloth is decorated with the arms (the seven dots in a circle) of the famous Medici family. Originally velvet has been woven in silk; now a days all kinds of combinations are possible. This fabric, named after the difficult weaving process, is well to use in well lit interiors. It is the light that produces that beautiful glow. We’ve digged into our archives and found some nice examples of benches and sofas, upholstered in velvet.
