He has the cheapest furniture possible- aside from what is probably a knockoff Eames molded chair- because all of his money is tied up in Supreme bullshit and the frame on the TV is maybe a step below having a shot from Scarface or Entourage up. I am second-hand embarrassed for this dude, which is to say that I’m first-hand embarrassed because he clearly isn’t capable of shame. The attempt at a “modern, clean, sleek” aesthetic is stymied by the world’s most generic big-box storage and media furniture, whose “equally at home in contemporary or traditional” design (complete with square wicker baskets) is made all the more obvious and glaring by all of the trendwhore hypebeast nonsense. You would think a photographer would have a much more developed sense of style.

This is why I posted it, articulated much better than I could have.

I have no idea what his work is like, he just mentioned that he's a shoe photographer in the title to premeptively justify his massive shoe collection. He also said he gets a lot of haters. If its just product photography, that isn't really art photography. It's definitely a practiced skill, don't get me wrong, but it's not like he's artsy. He's also incredidly vapid and shallow if he buys into that supreme poo poo and decorates his home with it.

Not to unfairly prejudge a guy’s work without seeing it but I don’t know many professional corporate/product photographers with “a lot of haters.” You sure he didn’t mean “Instagram poster” when he said “shoe photographer?” Maybe “lifestyle blogger” or “influencer” rather than “product photographer?”

Like you can totally be a product photographer and have a style with a lot of heavy personal flourish or even polarizing aesthetic, but I still have no clue how you land an army of haters that way. Is his portfolio just pictures of his apartment?

Always catch hate, but I do freelance photography on the side for a lot of streetwear brands + a sneaker guy.. still adding, but current office set up, that 100% works for me


making fun of eames chairs: I like eames big loungers and the molded plastic chairs, i just think reddits checklist obsession with stuff in general is funny. They idolise manliness and to them that chair is the peak of manliness SO YOU MUST HAVE IT. they also get incredibly spergy about cables and the need to have a rug. If you don't have an eames lounge chair and a rug and 0 cables and copious amounts of plants then your house is poo poo, but if you complete that checklist you could stack all of them upside down in a corner and they'd think its good.

I agree. I'm trying to find photos of homes similar to my own for color schemes, and a lot of the design blogs are super staged. As in, every item in the picture is decorative and there's no practical items in view anywhere. I'm going to have a TV and various consoles in my living room, what do I do with the wires? What about a clothes hamper in the bedrooms, or toiletries in the bath? Of course I will be keeping the ugliest necessaries out of view, but it would be nice to find a blog that didn't require hiding everything you actually use and then filling the empty space with sculptural vases full of lemons.

I've been moving my kitchen more and more towards a "every tool within reach" functional aesthetic and I've gotten complements on the design. As things break or get lost I've been replacing them with pieces that are more attractive, but usefulness is always going to be my overriding focus.

Buy pretty versions of the practical things. With wires just put them behind whatever is using them or alternatively get tunnels that run along the bottom of your walls or just leave them out but have them run tidily. Real life has wires, just browse some reddits about decorating and watch them sperg out whenever a wire is visible and youll get over it.

Half the battle is just getting a nice looking tv cabinet or whatever. If you arrange stuff on it tidily, it will look good. You dont want your house to look like a sterile magazine photo

Hello, I'm coming from the past to make fun of this $110 hamper that looks every bit as 'ugly' and utilitarian as the cheap plastic ones.

That hamper looks like it should be sold at Ikea for $20 and called IXKARPANT. I'd have no problem with it then, because its price would match its quality(and it's really not that ugly). Except Ikea actually sells a similar hamper for a whopping $8. It's simplistic, durable, colorful, and also reasonably priced. I'd rather have that if I was the type who wanted brightly colored laundry hampers.

I'm not bringing this up just to dunk on your choice of hamper, but to vent about one of my interior design pet peeves: The rung of decor and household stuff that's just enough steps above Ikea and Target to be markedly more expensive, but not enough steps above them to actually be a better-looking/functioning product. It's for people who want their home to be filled with status symbols, except they can't afford real status symbols and 99.9% of the people who look at their stuff can't tell the difference anyway.

I don't mind expensive things as long as there's some justification of why they're the price they are(durability, legitimately unique styling, high-quality materials, etc), but stuff like that hamper is just insulting to the consumer. It's generic furnishings with enough :words: attached to fool the buyer into believing it's actually unique high-end stuff. It's bullshit along the lines of "artisanal" food.

I know Design Within Reach is low-hanging fruit here, but seriously. Look at it. "Derived from simple geometric shapes, his Teema Dinnerware (1952) exemplifies the removal of superfluous ornament, functional yet sophisticated in how it meets every need, from preparing to serving, all the while marked by timeless beauty." sure is one way to say "it's a white bowl." That rug is several times more expensive than comparable artificial silk/wool rugs of the same size. That $150 plant holder is made of plastic.

Prada lives a minimalist life because that’s all he can afford & somehow rails on capitalism while buying poo poo like a 110 dollar loving laundry basket

Ive never ever been in a house with the toilet in the bathroom. Ensuites yes but never the main toilet. Its weird having to go through the bathroom to get to it, but its weirder having it in your bathroom at all.

What if you need to poo poo and someones in the shower? Going to the bathroom is a very american expression, the rest of the world says going to the toilet, because we dont poo poo where we clean

So basically re: wood furniture, you want something made in the US. Specifically North Carolina.

Here are office desks from a place that is based where I am (Twin Cities).

https://www.roomandboard.com/catalog/office/desks

Minimum for 60w is about 1100 or so.

I do like this desk/chair combo. Desk is 960 for 48w in cherry wood, chair is 800-850 depending on fabric.



thats a stupid price to pay for that desk

just go to ikea and get a butcher block, stain it however you like (danish oil is good poo poo). put whatever legs on it. like 300 bucks all inclusive for whats up to literally 3k on that site, and exactly as sturdy

I found a great one when looking through the rental markets.


Here's the exterior. This is a pretty typical apartment block in Melbourne. Inside you'll expect something with fittings from either the 50's or leftovers from the 90's dotted around and the walls painted white.

Not this place.


Yeah where to begin? I'm guessing it's meant to be some sort of Asian inspired styling but sort of looks like a bad take of Jabba the Hutt's lair.



I'm the little cupboards positioned at the ceiling. Unless they are hiding something like a power box.


This is the bedroom.


And the bathroom. Pink is the go-to for how hold your bathroom is as it was quite the design choice of the 50's. Just gussied up with some 90's tile flair and lots of wrought iron victoriania. Such as the oven being repurposed as a sink.

looks like a couple of olds owned this and went for the grey nomad caravan aesthetic a few years early
