    1 IKEA

    Move to the first island with the disassembled bookcase. No other company in the Western world has shaped today’s interiors as IKEA has. The company’s catchphrase, ‘democratic design’, alludes to the success of its products in fulfilling the promise of modernity’s avant-garde: making well-designed products available to the masses.

    Move one island to the left. The rising cost of land, property, and rent, especially in inner cities, has brought into sharp focus the efficient use of space in apartments. The Spanish office Elli designed this 33-square-metre living space that meets every need of the resident.

    4 Granby Four Streets – Assemble

    Move to the project in the back, against the wall. Together with the inhabitants, a Victorian terrace of houses located in Liverpool was saved from urban decay by redesigning the interiors for contemporary needs, and by establishing workshops that reuses the building’s materials to create furnishings for the new spaces.

    6 Karl Lagerfeld Apartment - Andrée Putman & Karl Lagerfeld

    We’ll first talk about the left half of the next, big island. Fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld assembled an extensive Memphis-collection for his apartment with the help of the interior designer Andrée Putman. The space was considered one of the most iconic Memphis interiors in existence, before being auctioned off in 1991.

    7 Reinhold Apartment - Michael Graves

    This project is the right half of the same island. The American architect Michael Graves designed a small suite in the Manhattan apartment of Susan and John Reinhold. Graves introduced color to the interior by tinting the Reinhold suite in blue and rose tones. These colours became the hallmark of his approach to postmodernism, rich with illusion and references - from Art Deco to hotel interiors in the French style.
