Pernille Teisbaek – Copenhagen Home

Pernille Teisbaek a Danish creative director and designer husband Philip Lotko were lucky enough to have found and begun renovations on an 1875 home in western Copenhagen. They built a beautiful minimalistic home filled with quality details.

They enlisted Peter Møller to design the moldings and white plaster birds on the ceiling in the living room. Below is a before and after of the living room and the noted plaster details.

Malene Hvidt, architect from the Copenhagen studio Spacon & X was hired to help with the layout of the home. Pernille and Philip wanted a home that was romantic yet practical to raise their 3 boys in. Pernille states “The kitchen is made of steel, in contrast with the romanticism of the stucco. Dialectics make things more interesting. I like steel and it’s easy to clean, which you can’t do if red wine stains a more delicate surface.”

Love the romantic curves of the staircase and the softness of the chevron wood floor.

Simple neutral details and below a feature stripped stone floor.

FOR THE LOVE OF KITCHENS – DeVOL KITCHENS

Have you watched the show ‘For the love of Kitchens’ yet on HBO Max?!? It is so good. I am obsessed with Helen Parker the creative director! I love that Cotes Mill a historic 16th-century water mill on the banks of the River Soar, just outside Loughborough, is an epicenter of creativity; an artisans dream world. They conceptualize and create furniture, lighting, kitchen accessories and ceramics just to name a few categorizes of items available to the public. It is great to see how co-founder Paul O’leary, managing director Robin McLellan and Helen encourage their team to explore design ideas creating what seems like healthy artistic work environment and as a result creating one of a kind DeVol staples.

They have 5 different kitchen collections – The Real Shaker, The Classic English, The Heirloom, The Sebastian Cox and The Haberdasher.

CHANGE

Its been a while, life seems to have whizzed by which is crazy to me! I remember my parents telling me to appreciate my childhood because the older you get the faster it goes…..they of course were right.

On another note lots of change has occurred to me recently, it all seems to have happened unexpectedly and at once. It can feel lonely and of course things will resolve themselves overtime, but boy, its not fun right now. Hibernating or going on a far away destination seems like the appropriate choice at the moment, though some would call that running away. Since I cannot do that in reality here’s a mood board of growth, travel, self exploration and trying to find solitude.

WEEKENDS IN QUARANTINE

NATE BERKUS + JEREMIAH BRENT NYC APT

Handsome couple Nate Berkus and Jeremiah Brent had what they thought was their forever home in L.A. but they missed the NYC energy. They decided to purchase a 3,400 SQ, FT; 1899 townhouse in the West Village. They are the masters at making spaces feel homier by adding texture and details. They gutted the town home aside from the MEP (mechanical, electrical, plumbing), added an 18th-century Italian mantel, wallpaper, vintage light fixtures + mohair rugs. Check out how beautiful their NYC family home is.

ESCAPE

These days the world cannot wait to be social and out once more. Its so odd to miss the simplest things like taking the metro to a baseball game, going to the beach to do absolutely nothing, going out for long walks taking photographs, being annoyed of people whilst out in a bar/club or just hanging with friends at the cafe down the street. These all feel like things of the past. How are we going to normalize once this is over? I have to say I value and appreciate my relationships with those close to me so much more. Hope all of you are doing well.

LA- ACADEMY MUSEUM OF MOTION PICTURES

Renzo Piano is the famed Italian Architect enlisted to design the 300,000 Sq Ft Academy Museum on Whilshire Blvd in California.The building will host a collection of film memorabilia including set designs, costumes, props and interactive installations. Over 140,000 films, 10 million photos, 42,000 original film posters and 10,000 production drawings.

The original building was constructed in 1938 and has been vacant for the last 20 years. Once again the building will be part of the evolving urban LA scene.

Renzo Piano’s workshop has worked on the designs for the museum’s two buildings since 2012 and should be completed in 2019.

A new spherical addition will accommodate a 1,000-seat theater and a dome-covered terrace with views of the Hollywood Hills. Across the campus, long-term exhibitions presenting the history of movie-making will be accompanied by a program of temporary installations dedicated to specific movies, genres or directors. As well as the large theater in the sphere – designed for events, premiers and presentation – a smaller 288-seat auditorium will host screenings. Restaurants, shops and education spaces will also feature.

“The millions of people around the world who make and love movies will be able to come to the epicenter of film-making and experience the magic of this art form,” said Academy CEO Dawn Hudson.”They’ll see firsthand the vast collections of the academy and the work of our members. And, they’ll be able to do that all year – not just on Oscar night.”
