House proud: If LS:N Global madeÉ a home

Faye Toogood would design the interior, focusing on textures with raw materials such as resin, steel, rubber, plaster and wax. Adopting a typical theatrical approach, she would curate the home with curious contents, such as Studio GGSV’s bell jar-like display cabinets.

The fabrics would, of course, be created through crowdsourced production in Bart Hess’s lab. 

Peaceful processes such as metal oxidisation and slip casting would be used when designing the surfaces of the fittings by Edhv, producing shades of bronze and turquoise hybrid wood and metal compositions. 

Our rooms would be equipped with the Yo! Home flexible living concept, and the furniture would be hackable so that we could change the space for any occasion. In the winter we would install Philippe Malouin’s Daylight objects to illuminate the rooms, solving the problem of a shortage of natural light. 

Our appliances would, of course, tweet us, we would control home systems with our smartphones and we would lock the house on our way out with the Lockitron. 

Showing off a water table by Gaetano Pesce, as well as the full collection of furniture from Karimoku New Standard that we loved from Milan, the LS:N Global home would be the perfect host.
