If you're looking for midcentury, you gotta get an Eames lounge chair like this one:

Bagno direttamente sull'open space?
Q
(46) commenti
... io porterei la cucina in alto a destra, (magari rialzata su una pedana per raggiungere le pendenze necessarie) e dedicherei l'attuale cucina a sala musica/ospiti. Così facendo credo che la zona giorno sarebbe più gradevole e chi cucina non resterebbe isolato dall'altra parte... Il ripostiglio attuale lo utilizzerei come cabina armadio a servizio della camera e ne creerei un altro nel disimpegno notte (in pratica, di fronte all'ingresso, ma con accesso dal disimpegno). ... si potrebbe anche valutare anche di creare il disimpegno notte utilizzando una porzione del bagno principale, ma senza misure è impossibile ragionarci..

Ciao Elisa, dal punto di vista dello spazio non vedo grosse difficoltà a distribuire gli arredi richiesti, però la prima cosa che da professionista mi viene da chiederti è la seguente: vivi in un condominio, oppure si tratta di una casa privata? Perchè al fine di modificare le bucature esterne devi essere sicura che la cosa si possa fare, non è sempre scontato! Lorenzo.

scusa lo schizzo rudimentale, spero sia abbastanza chiaro. Tutto da vagliare con un professionista che faccia un sopralluogo e ti segua nei lavori l'idea è di togliere il televisore dal vano attuale e anche la parte sotto (e magari inserire un materiale di poco spessore a contrasto a fare di contorno,magari una lamiera grezza o dell'acciaio inox) e nel vano inserire un tavolo tipo questo di Ikea che è allungabile e dovrebbe essere dell'esatta misura (se non ho sbagliato il vano dovrebbe essere da 130cm e il tavolo che ti indico è da 85x125cm allungabile a 188cm) https://www.ikea.com/it/it/p/glivarp-tavolo-allungabile-trasparente-cromato-40334695/ oppure un tavolo consolle da utiizzare al bisogno. (tieni conto che il tavolo potresti anche farlo realizzare su misura con un piano che possa inserirsi all'interno del vano senza togliere il modulo contenitivo con delle allunghe) per farti capire cosa intendo quì abbiamo messo le gambe più interne per andare sopra il calorifero con il piano del tavolo Il divano purtroppo dovrà essere da 2 mt, però potresti aggiungere una sedia imbottita/poltroncina da utilizzare anche come seduta aggiuntiva al tavolo quando hai ospiti. A terminare sul fondo la parete attrezzata basteranno delle mensole (magari potresti dipingere con un colore la zona con le mensole e la parete fino ad arrivare al divano e dividere con il colore la zona relax) e il televisore appenderlo davanti alla zona con i vani aperti magari riutilizzando il pannello attuale (da verificare con un falegname) ma comunque una soluzione si trova. Sul fianco della penisola un piano snack a ribalta da usare tutti i giorni e togliere quando utilizzi invece il tavolo grande. (qu' lo vedi sul lato lungo, tu immaginalo sul lato corto) La paretina che divive il divano dalla penisola dovrà avere un'alzata (materiale in base al budget, sarebbe bello avesse la stessa finitura del top secondo me...potrebbe essere gres, corian, legno, acciaio, ecc....), ti consiglierei un piano ad induzione, potresti anche vautare fuochi in linea, se hai un buon micronde ti bastano 3 fuochi sotto/vicino alla finestra potresti mettere una mensola in appoggio poco profonda anche da 30cm per avere un pochino di piano di appoggio in più Ho lasciato la penisola un pò più lunga del divano ma se fosse anche da 2mt andrebbe bene, anzi meglio. Dipende dalle tue necessità

You need to change the lighting and add more light to your space. It would look nice if you add wood to your space. Possibly a rich colored wide plank engineered floor, and matching office furniture. Maybe a couple midcentury statues. Add some black and yellow color as a feature. You could also change the ceiling tiles to ceiling tiles with a different design or paint color... Take a look at our website for some design ideas www.goldconconstruction.ca Good luck!

Hi, Maybe this could be interesting:

WALLS: Wallpaper the walls with subtle stripe wallpaper - hang the stripes horizontally.

SHELVES/STORAGE: Across the entire right wall, hang classic Swedish string shelves (designed by Nisse Strinning 1949) (shelves should be in wood) http://www.string.se/imagebank/highres/STRING-014326.jpg

Add mid-century knick-knacks (with similar theme – cats for example) among whatever needs to go on the shelves, books office stuff etc.

DESK: Turn the desk so that you sit with your back towards the shelves. If possible switch out the desk for a mid-cent type in similar wood as the shelves and the chair to something like Arne Jacobsen’s “Seven” 1955. This is my favorite but it could be a bit uncomfortable since it isn’t very cushy but there are plenty of chairs out there to choose from. There were some very nice desks in some of the other comments.

BAR: Place a small bar to the left against the left wall (close to the viewer of the picture). Example. http://www.lauritz.com/sv/auktion/kurt-oestervig-1912-1986-barskaap-palisander/i2414143/?ReturnUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.lauritz.com%2FItemList%2FItemList.aspx%3FLanguageId%3D3%232414143EndTagRU

LOUNGE AREA: A lounge area in the far corner of the left wall (near the door) with furniture, either by Arne Jacobsen – the swan couch and chairs/swan egg combo: https://www.google.com/search?q=arne+jacobsen+swan+chair&client=safari&rls=en&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=itRLU8KyJNHIsASex4CACA&ved=0CEUQsAQ&biw=1264&bih=759
or something by Peter Hvidt (this example designed 1957 and is too big for the space but to get an idea of the style follow this link: http://www.lauritz.com/sv/auktion/peter-hvidt-orla-moelgaard-soffgrupp-minerva-3/i2595500/
Nice with some chairs that can easily be moved over to the desk if you would need to talk to someone like that.

LIGHTING: (Poul Henningsen – best! PH 4/3 on the desk and a floor lamp from the same series by the lounge area. http://www.louispoulsen.com/usa/products/indoor/table/ph-43-table.aspx

ART: Add some beautiful artwork on the wall opposite the shelves by a contemporary artist like Klari Reiss: http://www.klarireis.com (Street anatomy series) or David Korty (his LA scenes)

PLANTS: Don’t forget plants

GOOD LUCK and post the results :)

Does it count as mid-century if you take the front end of mid-century vehicle and turn it into your desk?

Mid-century: Think low profile, angular, minimalist. Think Mad Men set. See attached image. Simple desk. A sitting area is a must. Look at the awesome, comfy desk chair. Drum lampshades. Almost a Japanese sensibility.

Why have an office? That is like... last century. If you really need to spend the cash on decorating an unused space, just get a coffee maker of your choice and set it on a two drawer file cabinet. All the best.

Keep the white walls. Besides being a midcentury touch, it looks like a small space and an airy feel would be good. Buy a beautiful vintage Danish teak desk and place a Louis Poulsen lamp on it (Paul Henningsen.) If you can find a vintage teak wall unit, that would be a classy touch. Alternately, you could get a Gus Wilson cabinet which is modern and immensely cool. (It's not midcentury but blends well with especially if you like modern mixed with midcentury.)
An Eames lounge chair with a cool side table would be great ... A womb chair in a masculine dark grey fabric would make a wow statement.
A "bullet" planter would look nice in a corner of the room.
Not sure if you're going to include some glasses/barware but Iittala's Ultima Thule or Tapio are classic designs that would fit the look.
Art work is very personal, but something with a punch of colour (even a framed poster) would be great.
Good luck with your project! What fun!!

Mr. Kutcher,
My first step will be to ask how you plan to use this space? Private reflection? Meetings? Writing? The solutions will emerge naturally from your answers to these and other related questions. Once the purposes are supported, then we can explore the more emotional aspects of decoration. You have to see yourself working in this space and enjoying a psychological comfort that will support the work you will be doing. Make sense?

I would start with one piece, to start the story. Use something like one of these as a jump off point, and then art, rugs. Maybe a funky lucite desk. Comfy chairs with a classic teak, leather combo. Coolio wallpaper perhaps, certainly some colour pop somewhere. Enjoy! So fun!

Ok so deciding on ultimate use for space is empirical, but taking the idea of mid century modern and adding a eclectic twist...how about using a wall of glass and use as water art as shown in first picture, offsetting nature with an electric blue decor integrating lacquered walls and lacquered furniture creating texture in same shade blue. Throw in a few lighting ideas such as these, creating a ultra modern mid century space utilizing both natural and processed elements. Add in a media wall- imagine a giant touch screen iPhone wall to share/work on projects. An artwork piece such as this Chris Bacey Thrills to bring mid century moden will add inspiration. Some of these chairs.

What a great space...I've always loved those fish bowl offices, however - they offer no privacy when needed. I would definitely recommend installing draperies, which will add texture to the space. Given the size of the space, you could fill it up with club chairs, sofa, bookshelves, a credenza and I would also recommend another desk/table that serves for more collaborative thought!
