Designer Crush: Nate Berkus Associates

Firstly, I would like to formally apologize because this post is really nothing new in blogland.

Secondly, my excuse: I just had to share. I am shamelessly obsessed with the work of the Nate Berkus Associates (not to be confused with the show!)

It's been a while since I had a designer crush on NBA (not the basketball league) and frankly I had been pondering doing post on them (even though it's so cliché that I will probably hide in shame for the next month!) but this photo (the culprit) tipped me over the edge.

I have been literally dreaming of this photo in my sleep - that's how engraved in my head it is! Pure perfection in the Hollywood Hills.

This photo makes you want to jump into it and cozy up on the sofa with a cup of tea and a shelter mag... Proof that a sofa doesn't need to look like it's about to swallow you whole to be comfortable (refer to La-z-boys and other similar specimens).

And then there's the other photo. I would not dare share with you one more time (three's a charm, but four screams CRAZY!) - but you can still view in in posts 1, 2 and 3 (and seriously, it's worth it!!!)

Do you see that lucite side table upon which rests the most perfectly balanced piece of semi-precious stone? Sheer brilliance.

Annnd another proof against the swallowing marshmallow look vs. comfort ratio of a sofa.

 

Proof number three...

 

Could you possibly ask for anything more in a workspace? Certainly beats mine my a mile! Annnd I'm pretty sure this wonderland looks out onto the beautiful Malibu beaches...




Sagaponack: just the name makes you want to kill to be there! And the soaktub? Ultimate bliss after a hard day at the beach in the Hamptons.
