When we call a place home, instead of a house, we’re ascribing a sort of positive emotion to it. But on the flip side, a windowless, empty house can evoke melancholy, sad, and even spooky emotions as our brains wonder why the people left in the first place. Mortgage costs are boring, it must be ghosts.
Welcome to our new weekly column, House to buy of the week, where we highlight one outstanding property on the market. This week, an Edwardian flat in the City of London designed by the same architect as the Bank of England.

About Eero Aarnio made the first prototype of the Pastil chair out of polystyrene, which helped him to verify the measurements, ergonomics and rocking ability. In 1968 he received the American Industrial Award for its comfortable form and unique aesthetic. This 'sweetie' was designed in 1967. Dimensions: 92 cm width x 92 cm depth x 53 cm height Materials: Fibreglass The Story of Pastil After the international success of the Ball chair in the 1960s, new Balls were sold and shipped all around the world. One can only imagine the costs of shipping during that time. Eero realized how much empty, cushioned space was sent around the world in packaging crate of the Ball chair. Once again, functionality as his first aim, he thought a new piece of furniture could be fitted in this void. The starting point of design was an improvement to a previous product, a strive to solve a logistic impracticability. From the start Eero new that he wanted to make this new piece of fiberglass. He admired the shine of the Ball chair’s outer surface and wished he could create one that would not need upholstering from the inside. He would need a mold, that would not show the unevenness or ruggedness of the other sides.
A bedchamber should evoke a mood of grandeur and decadent opulence. A fitting backdrop for all of the intimacies experienced there. The bed is a place of birth and of death, of love and life in all its glories. A place where we not only sleep, but heal and refresh both body and soul. One must create a worthy backdrop for dreams and slumber to truly flourish. In our experience canopies, cushions and quilts of gold lead to the sweetest of dreams… We are looking forward to completing our own bedroom this fall. A collection of vintage and antique textiles will be used throughout the room. A color way of burnt orange, plum and cinnabar infused with black, black and more black. This palette brings to mind spicy Marrakesh…Marrakesh in hell that is. We have begun work on an elaborate cornice and drapery for behind the bed. A beautiful set of Victorian draperies in terra cotta, black and gold have waited patiently for months (years?) for just this project. The cornice will be one of our original fabrications. It will be encrusted with antique metal tassels, bits of chain mail and hand printed silk medallions. And of course, at center point an ornate goat head mask upon a gilded pelmet (in the ever popular Vlad the Impaler meets The Arabian Nights style….) These gloomy and brooding bedrooms by Scottish painter James Pryde have always been a favorite inspiration. As overscale and elaborate as a theatrical stage set, they suggest both intrigue and apprehension. Let us not forget the eternal (infernal?) sleep, dear reader. Until next time, we bid you good night and sweet dreams. Well I know it's hard for you To know the reason why And I know you’ll understand More when it’s your turn to die Don’t believe the life you have Will be the only one You have to let your body sleep To let your soul live on. (“A National Acrobat” by Black Sabbath)
