Peter Saville & Ben Kelly: The Apartment.
Peter Saville’s 90s era “garçonniere” is like cocaine for the eyeballs. All terrifying minimalism, pale colours, and plush, satin, 3d letters seeping from the walls – AHHHHHHHHH. We want to live here forever!!!!
“An enigmatic figure in the design world, Art Director Peter Saville asked friend and collaborator Ben Kelly to turn a seventies-chic Mayfair apartment into a suitably ambiguous live/work/gallery space,
using minimal intervention. Boasting an original Verner Panton floor-to-ceiling light fixture, acres of smoked glass, tinted mirrors and high-gloss finishes, BKD added accents with bright green paint, creamy carpets, select artworks and dramatic lighting. A soft-sculpture telephone number rendered in pink satin, a startled mannequin and the occasional paint explosion, provided further layers of spontaneity within an otherwise super-cool interior.” – from benkellydesign.com
