Today I invite you all to join me in welcoming Sandie from from Powder Grey for Furniture Fridays! Based in the UK and working as an Interior Designer, Sandie has a keen eye for design and always features wonderful and interesting posts on her blog. She has a fresh look and enthusiasm to her posts, and Powder Grey is a daily read for me always with something new for me to see. I am truly excited at her selection and what an incredible interesting and unique selection it is. Thank you and enjoy!
I was pleasantly surprised
yet touched when I received the email from Anna requesting me to do a write up
for Furniture Fridays, considering I am very new to the Interior World. My chosen piece is the
Lockheed lounge by Australian Industrial designer Marc Newson. This aluminium
clad lounge took Newson over 2 months to create and was his most celebrated
piece in 1986.
I first saw this when it
appeared in Madonna’s video “Rain” in 1993, long before I was interested in a
career in Interiors. I remembered thinking WOW at the time, as I hadn’t seen
anything like it. A cool solid powerful
piece yet its elegant curvaceous curves looked like a mercury blob that had leaked
from an old antique mirror. I don’t own such a piece, unfortunately, if I did it
would set me back over a million dollars.
Although Newson created
the Lockheed Lounge over 25 years ago its futuristic design will, in my
opinion, always remain a timeless piece. See
