little india apartment

we thought we'd share with you another favourite interior of ours from elle decoration magazine, this time from the november '09 issue & beautifully photographed by Richard Powers. the apartment, owned by Joy & Colin Seah of Ministry of Design, has a perfect mix of industrial and ethnic: cool grey concrete floors & walls, dark coloured wood, tatami mats, bamboo screens & sheer curtains and paper shades & exposed bulbs on endless lengths of black cord that zig-zag across the ceilings.
these dramatic colours and materials contrast each other beautifully, with little touches here and there of fallen trees and brightly coloured orchids.
