MODERN INTERIORS - DIEDIER GOMEZ
Feature Interior Design Firm: DIEDIER GOMEZ Location: Paris, France Specialty: high-end residential, retail, commercial, hospitality Project Highlights: See my favorites on flickr image library
I love the use of combining oversized graphics with bold colour to create a dramatic interior concept. The work of Diedier Gomez is a perfect example of well executed concept interiors.
ADAM & EVE is a perfect example of the ulitmate spa retreat for the MODERN traveller. The interior design reflects a modern minimal aesthetic through its execution of flush detailing and the use of mirror surfaces combined with an all white interior. While the PURE HOTEL located in Frankfurt represents the modern minimal interpretation of a monochromatic interior combined with various light temperatures to create a variety of mood settings.
In the mood for travel ... I realize my recent articles have been literally all over the map! While organizing my imminent move to New York, my blog has been my sanity and at the moment, purging modern design inspiration keeps me energized as I attempt to attend to all the necessary details. I've been clearing my files and transferring them into a new system, which is to the advantage of my readers as it's an opportunity to share more of my resources. Over the last 7 years of sourcing modern design products for projects, clients, friends (and to nurture my passion for modern design), I have discovered some phenomenal projects... Here is an amazing travel destination for those who want a seascape retreat. A "MODERN COASTAL" escape worth visiting. LE SERNO is a beautiful resort that brings simple yet sophisticated design in each of the interior details, a signature style statement designed by famous Parisian designer CHRISTIAN LIAIGRE.
The luxury of travel now brings for the comfort of home where ever you go - an amazing example of a MODERN retreat is that of Casa Bosca, in Valencia, Spain. Book your reservation through one of my favorite modern travel sources - Chic Retreats. I love residential design because of the intimate relationship residential interiors have with their end users. People not only wake, eat, shower, retreat, sleep and breathe these interiors - they call these interiors "home". An ideal concept would be that we are all fortunate enough to want to go "home" to our sanctuaries at the end of the day. Our reward for our hard work ... while many may think that interior decoration is luxury & materialistic measure of value ... our homes reflect and shape our lifestyles in more ways than we may be aware of, just as we choose the environments we want to go to or return to because of the way we feel in these environments … the details are what some of us are lucky to remember, they help shape memories we can look back on, our senses from the touch, smell, to the viewing the movement of light – we are moved by to the environments and the people we choose to have in our lives ... "Home" can be powerful part of what shapes our personal energy and motivation. The feeling of comfort, safety and security. This may not always be true ... I hope it will be one day for each of us to have the opportunity to have an environment reflect ourselves as we choose it to be. And when you think about the values we live by or the simple essentials of what makes us happy ... we can all live within minimal lifestyle that is uncluttered and focused. I like to think that the people or the passion we have for life is what makes us appreciate our the living environment. "Less is more" – a powerful philosophy to be more observant of the details that make up our environment.
There's something about white on white interiors, where colour comes in the layering of light that filters through a room. I love how simple yet calm an all white interior can be. The richness of textures from cashmere wools to soft silks and natural linens ... an accent of compliments in warm wood tones or natural stone. Here is one of my favorite sources of white on white on white ...
