Came across NY based photographer Rolland Bello‘s beautiful interior photos. He does a lot of work and campaigns for Kate Spade, Domino Magazine, Dwell magazine, Martha Stewart and so on.

I love the mood and solitary feeling he puts into his photography. His choice of an overall cool color palette suit his works well.

This beautiful home located in Sherman Oaks is definitely a feast for your eyes. It has gorgeous large windows and the minimal color palette should cater to any taste.

According to the source: Built in 1955, the 1,719-square-foot property has three bedrooms, two baths, cork floors, and custom cabinetry. Last sold in 2003 for $619,500, it’s now listed at $799,000, or $465 per square foot.–Pauline O’Connor

Arne Jacobsen designed the worlds first designer hotel, the SAS Royal Hotel in Copenhagen during the 60′s.

If you want to see the room as they were intended by Arne Jacobsen, Room 606 on the 6th floor is the place to go. The room feels very authentic mid-century with the airy color palette and the collection of furniture. Within the design serves the function with built in vanity and intercom systems. This room when available are open to hotel guest that are interested.

AMC’s Mad Men is undoubtedly one of the best tv dramas and it will finally be back this Sunday! I am so excited for the premiere of the fourth season. It is fun to watch to not only the human drama along with Don Draper’s complicated life but also the show’s eye-candy sets.

Going by a mid-century-styled set design,  Modernica’s prop department will be ready to deck out the show with an amazing collection. You might be able to recognize some of the above in the drama.

Also here is a bit old article for more details of the home decor of Mad Men.

One of my favorite furniture I own is my Tomado shelf from Holland and today I found an amazingly similar book shelf designed by Swedish designer, Nils Strinning in 1949. This is a larger unit that carries characteristics that reminds me of the Tomado shelf such as the thin wood, and the ribbed black sides. This piece is very modular and can be altered to you preferred composition.

It is not surprising that his shelf has been popular for over 50 years because of these simple, practical and functional design. Unfortunately Nils Strinning passed away in 2006 but his legacy lives on and you can still purchase his work here! (Non-US though) The picture above is his iconic shelf, String.

This one is his another shelf called cell. It uses slightly different pieces than the String, but it functions the same way where you can manipulate the position of the shelves to your liking.
