{Just want to share a quiet moment before the end of the work day…} Michael and Alexandra Misczynski understand completely and viscerally what the Japanese call “Ma”. The unseen energy surrounding objects, or rather the intrinsic importance of having open space in a house, as it is the void that is after all the beginning of everything. Their new book Interiors/Atelier AM by Rizzoli is so nuanced and quietly eloquent. This quote from the book completely sums it up succinctly: ” A central tenet of their practice is the belief that architecture drives interior design, and that a house will never sing, regardless of the treasures it contains, if the architecture is compromised.” {Funny enough, we’re really putting our stamp in one of my client’s house through the ‘treasures’ since when we came in during the process, a lot of the architecture had already been resolved… and believe me, the architecture was NOT good. So, it’s through the details of decoration…through the story behind items of furniture and art… that will make this particular project sing. However, having the architecture done right to support the interiors would have helped make sure all the notes were on key!}

About:

I'm a Toronto-based interior designer, that's really more than just that. I think it's interesting to see how personalities show through what you post.

Throughout the weekdays, between 9am to 5pm, I sometimes post things I find online that are usually related to design in some way or the other. But after that, I have the 'randoms' queued up! You see my interest in design, art, illustration, architecture, photography, travel, & fashion, the things that make me laugh, that make me think, the things that excite me, and the things that I love. Soon, it won't be so random after all.
