>The raw and unfinished charm of the modest prison cell is an unexpected delight to a discerning eye. The shelves spanning the back wall offer a minimalist utilitarian aspect, evoking a brutalist aesthetic that speaks to function over frivolity. The light green walls, though humble, present an almost zen-like tranquility, a subtle nod to mid-century modern color palettes but with a grit that grounds the space in realism. The concrete floor, rustic and markedly adorned with scattered red and green paint splashes, functions as an avant-garde canvas, reminiscent of abstract expressionism meets industrial chic. One might see it as a tactile homage to urban art? It's defiantly unrefined and strikingly authentic. Even the well-worn toilet and sink, with their evident patina and wear, contribute to an honest narrative of lived experience, souvenirs of endurance and stark simplicity. It's a visceral installation of survivalist elegance, a testament to the beauty found in raw environments stripped to their essentials with an unpretentious honesty few curated spaces dare to embrace. A true sanctuary of unvarnished reality.

Casement windows with divided lites
the image is of The Mintmaster's Mansion in Aarhus which is 17th-18th century, iirc, So my guess is they would be tinted/stained crown or cylinder glass. LambertsGlas and Antique English Glass do similar, although if they are the original panes, you're not going to be able to find anything like them except by sourcing windows from the period.

You are correct because it is a staged photo. We've already had enough lively discussion on the difference between photos of a space and space itself in these threads to last a lifetime though, don't think we need to rehash it again.

Though im sure this is a little bit tongue in cheek its very true. I think most people look in magazines or try to copy the latest trends, wish they had the money for expensive apartments with giant windows and designer furniture. But the truth is your interior will never look good if it doesnt show anything personal or historical. you'll just look like every asshole on reddit that gets a bit of money and buys an eames chair. you'll think it looks good but in reality its just more consooming. Personal = nice. Make it nice make it nice make it nice.

It's extremely tongue-in-cheek in cheek, lmfao. Although one thing about making it personal doesn't work for most people, because, as you point out, they just opt for the well-worn, tried, and true path. They have no personalities of their own, never mind taste in the first place. When this place was less of a shithole you would see the same thing in the WAYWT thread, most users would default to 'uniforms' a white t shirt with a black bomber and skinny jeans. or flecktarn, grey sweater, jeans and boots, etc.
And even then, most people are consumers. Even when they are able to make things personal, they don't make anything themselves; they are not producing anything, they're just buying stuff other people have made and created, and organizing it. And I'm not sure if this constitutes a type of production because while it's the result of a personal view on the objects, it's also largely formulaic and follows certain established templates, like as we've discussed prior in these threads the design shop aesthetic, the DWR sale raiders, etc etc etc. It's more algorithmic and mechanical than accretic or creative imo. A long time ago I had the idea of 'considered consumption'. If we are doomed to be consumers because of structural forces largely out of our control, then we should at least be thoughtful and, as you say, personal in our choices, understand what makes an object 'good' and strive to consume only good objects and things, however, even then it's just another layer of cope

Seriously though, if you want to give it a shot just make sure your bathroom is well ventilated, get a dehumidifier, and put down a solid layer of painters tape before you stick on the tiles. It's meant to keep it dry and makes for a quick removal should anything go wrong. Beyond that you could always use a plastic shower liner when the shower's in use to keep the tiles dry. Even if you decide against it I'd still make sure you've got adequate ventilation so you don't have lasting moisture in your bathroom as it can cause the same issues even without the faux-tile, and it's not so easy to peel up your bathroom walls/floor to see if you've got mold.

The problem this poses, of course, is that trying to find good desk images to reference is extremely difficult. They're dominated by this horrible 'desk setup' genre full of mostly cheap Amazon plastic, MDF, and easily broken veneer. This results in a few interesting phenomena, the most interesting of which is that Toronto, Canada, is massively overrepresented in these circles relative to their aesthetic development(especially on content aggregators like Maker Stations). This is not that surprising given that 'desk setups' are highly formulaic, and are primarily a function of the technology on the desk(which is really just a reflection of dollars spent for 99% of the people in this sphere) rather than utility, taste, or aesthetics. The other phenomenon I found interesting while looking for references was the revelation that North America is significantly lagging behind Korea and Japan when it comes to mass-produced design objects and brands. Sure, we can buy from Muji, but Japan then has dozens of homewear brands such as Dulton making stylish objects at affordable prices. Korea similarly has dozens of either Kickstarter-type brands or smaller interior brands(Pearl, Lexon, 1off, etc). I assume this is a function of their relatively strong domestic manufacturing bases, strong contemporary aesthetic vision, and proximity to China both economically and geographically, giving them greater access to cheap production methods. That you can buy forward-thinking design objects without going bankrupt is something HAY attempts to do, but even then, they're several times more expensive than, say, IKEA, while these Japanese and Korean brands are the same price band as IKEA. The third thing I realized was that Apple products consistently offer some of the best, if not the best, looking electronics available today. The 2021 onward iMac generation is one of the best-looking monitors you can buy today. I think maybe only the Samsung Space Monitor is up there

So the natural response to these three things is to stop looking at reddit-tier consumerism traps, right? The only issue with that is, when looking for alternative references, design firms and artists are bizarrely themselves either aesthetically bankrupt regarding technology, or technologically bankrupt, meaning they default to single monitor setups, which is insane if you're trying to do design work in my experience. Input and output are the bare minimum, with the potential for a third screen to display a brief.

So you end up with a lot of stuff like pic related. Which is great and looks beautiful(could clean up the cables, but whatever), however, it is totally non-functional unless you're like checking email or bullshitting around online. So it's like your choice looking for this stuff online is two extremes, artfag's who don't know how to use computers, or reddit-hyperconsumerism and it's apparently bizarrely difficult to try and thread the needle between these needs.

I even have a Spare Tolomeo in my apartment that my girlfriend stopped using when we upgraded our shelving. And it's gorgeous, but it's really not a practical lamp for working under. it's not bright enough, and doesn't cast a wide enough light. However, desk lamps is actually an area where there are lots of good-looking options available to you. I ended up ordering a Yamada Shomei Z-Light, which is a very affordable metal lamp(think I paid 10.5k yen for mine off amazon.jp) with an led instead of a bulb

Sorry to be such a dick about it, but a lot of these things just feel like something you would get as soon as you learn what's trendy among /fa/ggot elitists. Well, except the black leather couch, they might actually just give you shit for that, but maybe the neat lamps on either side will save you. The rug, wood slats, wooden noguchi-esque table, the gold/black floor lamps, metal bracketed shelving, and the funny bubble lamp all sort of give that "High-functioning autist just learned what's trendy" vibe. Maybe it's just because it seems quite likely that every one of these things was ordered off the internet. You've got some eye for taste, okay? It's not a lost cause. It just irks my particular sensibilities to see all these things that feel like they only sort of work together in a room they don't quite fit in. Something about the light wood floor compared to the three slightly differently colored wood pieces and the seemingly out of place dark wooden slats for example. Or the black frames instead of material/color matching something else in the room. A lot of these things in isolation are great, but placed together in this room in this particular way something feels off about it all. I think I felt imposter syndrome by proxy, to be honest.

good feedback desu, you're correct, but honestly, 1. for an office it seems fine to be generic 2. he's one of the few anons to actually post a space that doesn't look like total ass, so could be a lot worse
What he could improve IMO is that the space is too crowded right now, 5? floor lamps and that additional lounge chair/side table feels really awkward, and then the shelving on the wall displaying books that appear unread and are not particularly rare feels tacky, but hey it's not my office

Yeah, fair enough, but your office looks pretty sizeable as is? I assume you make decent money since you have a snoopy but what do you do that's you're likely to get a larger office?
>>18499499
I liked pic related even if it's not quite my taste, and it's kind of the thing I think I'm going to go for in my next office because I think there is a funny self-awareness to it. The nerd merch is awful, but the rest of the stuff is just screaming ultra curated designfag and it's very funny. I mean bro has what 14 keyboards? Thats such a funny thing to do in your office. It's like hanging a picture of stalin in your apartment or something, an unhinged vibecheck for visitors.
There is a surprising amount of this content on Twitter, and most of the better stuff is from Koreans or Japanese, for what I imagine to be the reason I outlined in an earlier post, the easy access to affordable design-oriented products. Although, both groups suffer from a few distinct tropes that I dislike, so you can't really take their stuff 1 for 1, rather just bits and pieces of inspiration

One of the most dominant tropes I see in the Korean/japanese desk setups(and honestly just their interior design, especially korean interior design on instagram/pinterest) is this obsessive chromophobia where you get maybe a burst of colour against a totally white, and maybe if you're lucky silver room.

But theres always stuff you can pull from their interior design. I mean the notebook and the toyo toolbox, are both great, the metal tray is nice, accessible, very useful on any desk and so on, the idea of using the wireless charger for your iPhone, almost makes your phone into another monitor you can use for whatever, all nice ideas.
I'm sure there is a way to then apply a lot of those strictly tech or merch directed desk setups and put them in a space like pic related with a big massive beautiful desk and relatively minimal paraphernalia without it feeling disjointed

Although to be honest I find 'styling' your shelves or desk to be retarded as fuck, and that's what bothers me a lot about these images. It's that you have this space that appears deliberately non-functional in the pursuit of aesthetics(look at the books laid on their side in the previous image, who the fuck does that? Lagerfeld? Sure, but he was a sociopath when it came to interiors. Then who the fuck keeps their perfume in their office, retarded.)
The goal should be the merger of aesthetics and function rather than preferring one strongly over the other. Which is a reason I like Apple products, they are a nightmare from a tech standpoint, pain in the ass to upgrade, service, somehow the monitors get filthy just from looking at them, etc, but they are good consumer products, and they look very good. I guess I just want access to better designed office supplies.

My office is 175 square feet and my partners are cramped as well. I don’t need a bigger office; I could do what I do with just the laptop (though it sucks).

Eh, as much as Apple's design philosophy is just a ripoff of Rams at least they try. Sometimes I check collections of technology from before the 2000s (usually labeled "space-age") and it's painful that hardly anything matches those aesthetics. Like these things (ideally) should be off more often than they're on, so ideally how they look would be an important metric to consider, but alas.

Speaking of how difficult it is to have a good-looking workspace, office chairs are almost always godawful. The only decent looking chair I've seen recently is this one by Herman Miller.

theres nothing 'wrong' with any individual part of that meme.

ty for comments, i agree with the first two BUT. the shelf is more decoration desu to break up the dull white wall and I have all my job books on the laptop anyway. the few books I do read I have just above my chair.
the chair and table DO get in the way but I've always wanted a CH25 and im too sentimental to store it until I hve more space.
the desk actually has a lot of thought behind it because I wanted something that looked "timeless", yet apt for the IT age (since I have a laptop job). initially i was going to go with the Jacobsen society desk but then found this one by Finn Juhl. it was designed in 1945 for telephonists with the Danish telephone authority iirc so it's not a far cry from e-mails and furthermore drew inspiration from the Eameses, which suits the executive chair i sit in. Most of all the table is 7-8k and is not going anywhere hehe

Why do people post anything when they don't really want any critique or input on their design/style at all? Are you actually just here to brag about how much you spent on your badly coordinated office space filled with pricey vintage furniture? Do we all actually "oooh" and "aaah" because some chink put together a bunch of pieces of wood in a sort of not really all that unique way a century ago? Are we even really pretending this is about art or self expression anymore? Maybe art just sucks, I don't know. If /fa/ is any example it always boils down to a glorified dick measuring group chat between a bunch of faggots in denial. Nobody really has anything insightful to say beyond a long winded basic approval or disapproval of one thing or another. Before anyone's allowed to make a post we should just have a guy measure their net-worth, level of obscurity in taste, and exact dick size, before assigning them into the "shamed plebian sissy cock-cage" group or the "venerated tastemaker chad" group. /fa/'s own little rat utopia experiment. It would certainly save us a lot of time and effort in bickering debate and piddling "self expression". As our lead analyst I would, of course, be exempt from all categorical designations, naturally.

Idunno about youse guys, but I actually find it really hard to be objective about my own decisions, whether it be /fa/shion sense or interior design. I might think I'm making headway with something nice (be it my hair and grooming or my living room setup), and sometimes anons think it's perfect and I can be chuffed about it, and sometimes they point out all the wonky weird shit I'm not even able to see. 10/10 valuable critique is the best.

i think when it comes to windows/lighting it depends on the size and the amount
so the bigger it is the less of it can exist and the smaller it is the more of it can exist
so 100 tiny windows with concrete in between would be more brutalist than 100 windows in the style in your pic
but 1 giant slab of a window that essentially is the entire wall is also brutalist but only if its the only window in the space.

Don't know what his issue with it is. It looks nice enough but it does sort of give me the same feeling as a shitty local library's shelving units. It serves it's purpose, I suppose. I get that classic wood shelving is "le olde thing", but some things are timeless for a reason, don't you think?

So it's lacking in soul? Like nearly everything else. I was mocked for pointing this out weeks ago, but it's just a trend across all corporate design. You're noticing the cycle just as it may be hitting a wall in the tech sector, but it's been repeating everywhere since the industrial revolution. The techno-capital cycle is one of innovation and consolidation. You see the most creativity show through when active innovation and competition is constantly occurring and designers/corporations feel a need to distinguish their products from each other. After that things nearly always consolidate into the most efficient soulless version of whatever has been developed.
Stuff like
>>18499782
is just impractical from a corporate design perspective today. The technical limitations guided the design, so the tech itself has driven us away from interesting design opportunities. What does a contemporary version of this turn into? There would be no CRT, no visible on-monitor speaker, no knobs or buttons, so what's really left? How might modern manufacturers take inspiration from these designs? Retro tech has caught up with furniture design in that people are more interested in collecting things that had soulful design than anything new. But again, the tech itself is outdated, whereas a vintage chair still functions as well as any other. AFAIK there is a market for new CRT's, but it's not enough to get anything new off the ground. The manufacturing base is gone. It's the fucking moon landing all over again and Apple is SpaceX. The major corporations have secured effective monopolies and the only thing we have to look forward to is more consolidation and a landscape of products that either push just how soulless and minimal they can be or new designs that LARP as old designs like a bad Hollywood reboot. It's not looking good, in other words.

It's just too much in too little space. Honestly I didn't think of it until now, but the thing might actually look better with less natural light. It could benefit from being a little more moody.
>rug coming out under the desk looks very awkward
True. Let it live away from the desk if you decide to keep it.
>all the tapered legs look like your office is doing fancy dress wth an mcm theme, rather than looking like good modernist design.
Only the coffee table even has tapered legs, retard. I'd ditch it, personally.
>Matching wood is bullshit
It looks specifically disjointed here. The darker furniture and lighter floor throws off the vibe that I think he's going for. I think he could salvage the whole thing if he can just pick a mood. It feels like a private eye from the 40's fucked a gay fashion designer in the middle of a community college art gallery. I actually like the moodier thing it's got going but that floor and walls make me think he should've just leaned into it being colorful/modern.

Says who? kek you can say what you will about the tiny group of elitist snobs that even care about this sort of thing, but for the vast majority of people they do "just werk". Most people across the world would probably kill you to live in one, probably more than some brutalist/modern locale or some beautiful french chateau. I never said it was high art meant for a discriminating palette. It's just obvious that nobody is going to see commentary on the "middle class" and assume they meant anyone but Americans. It's the cultural center of the world. When we say "the west" we really just mean America & co. The UK/Canada are Americas tag along goons and the rest of Europe beside the UK are either gay and brown or living on an alien planet culturally. China and Russia are it's only real competition but sometimes it feels like they barely exist outside of being the bad guys in western movies. They are the Avatar of countries. Stale forgettable bugman shit with expensive flashy technology as a marketing tool. A tactic copied from America, btw. The world at this point is basically a reanimated corpse cargo cult-ing when culture and art were still real things but America did it first and there is no taking that away. It is the figurehead on the bowsprit of the western world, leading the worlds collective charge toward techno-capitalist annihilation.

Kartell, and Dirade are good examples of brands/designers who have done great things with plastics. This brand is another where you're reminded, "oh wow plastic can be really good. I guess my surprise was more of a combination of China + Plastic. China has been doing some great things with manufacturing for the last 10-15+ years, but I don't often get to see the higher-end stuff up close. I'm only in China 1-2 times a year, and it's not exactly glamorous. Although last time, the hotel I was in had a bunch of Pulpo fakes, which was pretty funny.

My more innocuous posts don't derail anything, but a little contention keeps things interesting, no? After all, it was your endless snappy bitebacks that cemented those first couple threads as nothing *but* contention. At the time you acted like the threads devolving into trolling and bullshit was exactly what you wanted. "4chan is for trolling", right? Almost all of my attempts at actual discussion were met with immediate hostility from you specifically, so I've got every reason to think you'd prefer a heated back and forth. Even still, did you read >>18502972 as an attempt at starting an argument? I was pointing out how we probably agree on more than you think. Is it the 'tism acting up? Are you really too dense to engage with the idea that I was putting forth? We seem to mostly agree and yet you act like a brick wall of petty aggression. On top of that you're selectively incapable of owning it. It's like you think all the arguments and shit-flinging just happened on their own all of the sudden, but you had no problem participating in the shit flinging when you had a few Anons backing you up. At first I thought you had an issue with me in particular, but I'm starting to think you are just a catty bitch. I have to wonder how someone like you has any real friends.

Through osmosis. I'm not that well travelled but I always knew what I liked when it came to architecture, even if I didn't realize it until later. I knew what I enjoyed the look and feel of. All your really doing is formalizing/developing your knowledge base and familiarizing yourself with designers/architects that you like, and the methods and history associated with their styles. It connects to a lot of disciplines so it's mostly up to you where it goes.
>Just endless staring at "inspo"? Surely there's better ways than that that don't involve paying for a college degree.
I'd hope it plays a secondary part to your existing relationship with art and design, informed by your own ideas and influences, otherwise anything you touch would be blatantly derivative. I'd say you don't need college to learn about it though I'd assume it has value if you want to schmooze your way into a job. If you're young and tech savvy you should be able to teach yourself with the tools available. Like any niche topic there are elitists that have been learning about it since forever, and they and their hangers-on will gatekeep/haze and generally be a nuisance as you try to learn and enjoy yourself. A lot of trendy or otherwise pretentious shit is down to these types that largely don't have a passion for the topic beyond socially signaling that they're "better than" or tying up their job security. It's obnoxious to anyone with authentic interest in the topic. If you happen to like something that's too trendy or not trendy enough you get overcompensating bullshit dressed up as intellectualism. Bravado from a bunch of dorks LARPing as aristocrats from a time when knowledge was strictly gatekept in a vain attempt to fit in with their supposed betters. It's really pathetic, yet sort of entertaining.

It's very similar to osmosis. You're trying to learn as much as you possibly can, and 'evaluate' is constantly, and the easiest and best way to do that is diving headfirst into a media environment where this stuff continually surrounds you. I was a fashion student, but had a budding interest in architecture and interiors, and so I went and worked at a design firm, just one of doing it. You could also lock yourself in a bedroom and consume this stuff 24/7 for years, like I did with fashion previously.

I left almost every thread(sans the first one) prior to them kicking off. Once we hit the bump limit, the quality of these threads jumps off a cliff, so not much point sticking around.
As for your repeated references to the soul of whatever, I'm not interested in the conversation because we're not saying anything new or elucidating here(at least for me), I think you're directionally correct fwiw, but i disagree with a lot of your minutae and think you're relying too hard on certain explanations(similar to what Groy's called readymade's but not quite) as being all encompassing/omnicause/pick your favourite euphemism here, but it's also fine because you're young and have ages to refine your thinking.
You are also correct that I don't have an issue with you in particular. If I recall, it was a particular point you made in the first thread that I objected to in a multi-reply post where I responded to 3-4 other anons in the same reply.
Also, what's wrong with Twitter? I originally got on there for work, but I've met so many intelligent/creative/talented/successful people who are now IRL friends there, same as I have here.

I didn't say this. Not only is the shape bad, but the ridges of the fabric also look very uncomfortable, especially on bare skin.

This image is clearly aimed at homeowners. But even then, many apartments in North America consist of a larger open space, a combination dining room/living room. There is no reason you couldn't recreate this image 1:1 in a 600sqft one bedroom.

Mingei is famously very affordable, even if that stuff is all contemporary fuck off stuff, any anon here can buy nicer pottery in equal volume for probably under 500 bucks. The most expensive thing in that image is the couch, and you can find a similar one for under 5k, which is...nice, but normal couch price territory.
Those kinds of wooden stools are sold by literally every contemporary furniture brand, probably like 250 tops, stain it yourself.
The stool in the foreground, unclear if it's iron or plastic, but you can get an original Sori Yanagi elephant stool for a few hundred, and that's close enough.
The coffee table and cabinet are screaming mid-tier contemporary brand because of the metal legs, which make it look cheap, as shit. That said, sometimes those brands can charge fuck off prices for their dogshit because normies don't know better.
A quick glance at Wayfair suggests a reasonable range of $500-2,000 for the cabinet, and the coffee table is likely similar. The rug looks like an absolute cheap piece of dogshit. I would simply buy a nicer one but you don't need to spend more than 1k there.
All in all, the image looks like a lower-middle contemporary brand staging their crap for a catalogue. The paint and flooring do not look premium, and the little texture detail on the left is not a premium finish in any sense; it's the kind of thing you'd see in the hallway of a 3-star business hotel built in 1996.
So nicer than Ikea, but also not expensive or 'designer' in any sense. Also, this image was clearly pulled off from some random Japanese blog aimed at young professional couples who probably just bought their first home in like Sendai or Fukuoka or some other working city shithole.

There's such a thing as objective beauty, and much of what you see are impotent attempts at rebelling against existence itself translated into art/design. Frantic neurotic masturbation and vitriol spewed toward normal healthy attitudes and conventions out of jealousy. I'd be lying if I said I was unfamiliar with the instinct, but these people parade their deformed brainchildren around like they're something more than that, so they deserve ridicule.

Hello Tom Wolfe
Most 'everything' is dogshit and has always been dogshit. But I don't think today's architects are going out of their way to design ugly shit on purpose, especially since they're contending with a ridiculous regulatory environment(zoning laws governing material usage in facades are especially egregious and contribute to an uglier urban environment), market conditions, and the constraint of construction techniques available to us.

Most of that is overstated in the world of art/design, but the public and laymen love to latch onto it because art/design have diverged sharply from the general public, and so the public views them with suspicion (rightfully so IMO) but it also is one of those example of the airplane survival meme where the worst examples are held up as common place and representative of the entire field

>I don't think today's architects are going out of their way to design ugly shit on purpose
Luckily architecture is one field where this stuff exists but isn't as much of a dominating force, There are plenty that do attempt it, but I think the reason it hasn't become huge is unfortunately just down to the difficulty of it more than a lack of want. Turns out masturbatory narcissists are usually too lazy to get their most out there ideas past the "what if" stage. If only I couldn't relate to that at all.

I think you did quite well overall.
My suggestions:
1. Remove the lamps in the left corner, next to the door. There's already more than enough light sources in the room and the placement of these lamps evokes a cluttered "storage unit" feeling.
2. Get a bigger rug, something that's a lot less noisy and matches the color of something else in the room. You have a lot of visual interest already, the noise of the rug really isn't necessary.
3. The wood panel wall is alright, unfortunately the color doesn't work at all because it simultaneously contrasts the floor, the white walls, ceilings and the door. It looks extremely out of place at the moment (particularly next to the white walls and ceiling) and gives the office a feeling of being unfinished/under construction. I would opt for a lighter wood closer to classic walnut brown.
4. The lounge chair next to the coffee table is a nice piece on its own, however in the context of an office I'd say that stylistically it's too laid-back and cozy. It looks extra incoherent because the braided material contrasts sharply with the glossy black leather couch and the dark wood behind it and neither the color nor the material is repeated anywhere else in the room. Maybe it could work almost as a statement piece once you bring the rest of the space together? For now I would just replace it with something that's just dark wood and more fit for the office aesthetic. Maybe something metallic to echo your office chair?

Overall I think you're quite close to a really nice office space, you just have to curate what you add with a more critical eye.

One thing I find very odd about Ikea chairs in general, and the Skalboda is a reasonable example(far from the most egregious though, is how wide they are. It's like they're designing furniture for 300 lb monsters. Often seems at complete odds with the whole Swedish modernism thing, where furniture will look airy and light(again, not always, but generally). The proportions are really odd, and I wonder if it has to do with some kind of manufacturing standards, either with the flatpack boxes or the sizing of the material they're using.

Fair enough, I've heard the titles you mentioned though I've never read them. He's certainly more obscure than Ellis though, assuming the film from 2000 counts. The movie & book more relevant than ever. It's a mainstream cultural reference in a way it seems that Wolfe hasn't been for decades. I'm sure I'd find his work compelling if I gave him a shot, though. Chock it up to being a child of the internet that I know all kinds of esoteric shit but somehow completely missed someone that even Trump has lied about having read.
>anon is advancing a point identical to an extremely famous and well known writer's point
90% of what's discussed in forums like these has been said one way or another by someone at some point. It doesn't really serve the discussion to remind everyone how something one person said is like something someone else said without any additional input. It's mostly pointless and a bit insulting. When I bring up American Psycho it is purposefully so.
>Nice Koons btw, he fucks.
I've got mixed feelings. He's a pretentious mental case with some distasteful instincts but that's a good part of why he's compelling. He seems to exist in a state of psychological superposition between utterly un-serious and completely sincere. I can't help but feel like it's all just one big gaudy spectacle, but then again I can relate to being a schizophrenic shit stirrer, so I tend to lean positive.

I really do like Patrick Bateman's setup.

I mean, it's not technically *bad*, it's just generically "rich" without much substance. It's meant to reflect his conflicting motivations. He wants to blend in and be the best at the same time, much like your average /fa/ggot. So there's nothing that would expose him to critique, nothing with real personality. He opts for the stark and minimal. The room is almost entirely devoid of color beside the wood grain speaker setup, which might just be a hint at some amount of genuine enjoyment of music among the otherwise vain and meaningless decor. I think it's important to note that the people's faces are not shown in the artwork. They are, as Bateman and everyone around him, stripped of personality and made into mere models for what we can presume are exorbitantly expensive/designer outfits. When Bateman kills Paul Allen, he protects his suit from the blood, but he feels no need to treat his face with the same care. So like his body, these people's bodies are reduced to objects, literally and metaphorically in this case. The kitchen echoes medical butchery with it's cold stainless steel finish, and the living room serves as a thinly veiled killing floor. It's great set design, as it really fits his character well.

Can anyone help me out with my apartment? I moved recently and it's like a blank canvas, I don't even know where to start to make this place look livable
I guess my priorities should be: sofa > new desk > curtains > rug > some paintings
Would kindly appreciate any ideas and/or feedback

Do you have any kind of counter in your kitchen? That's awkward placement for a big table. You might be better off with a couch and a table you can eat on in front of the TV. I have a lift top coffee table.

Standing desks are a meme. Some marketing genius scammer probably made bank off upper middle class hypochondriacs after all those articles came out saying "sitting is the new smoking.". Standing around is only marginally better than sitting around, and it's defo not a replacement for actual exercise. Just get a desk you actually like and get into better habits. If you literally can't help but sit at your computer all day, you should be focused fixing that instead of slapping a band-aid on a bullet wound.

The tv stand, desk and table are all far too massive for this room. Does your kitchen have an island/counter that can be used as a dining table? If so: I'd consider getting a couple of bar chairs and getting rid of the round table and the dining chairs. If this is a small apartment I'd prioritize furniture with decent amounts of concealed storage, i.e. a sofa and a bed frame with storage compartments, a tv stand with concealable shelves, a desk with multiple drawers, etc. Your apartment is going to feel a lot more spacious and cleaner.

It's always fun when redditors who call themselves part of STEM despite at most being a programmer and never involved with industrial engineering start screeching about comfort or materials when faced with (pictures of) actual designer furniture that isn't cheap crap. Like this table is made of metal and covered in veneer so you can literally stand on it and nothing will break. There's a reason they cost so much and hiding its complexity is a big part of the design and production process, but expecting people online to not be pseuds is asking too much.

Anyone under 300 pounds could "literally stand on" any cheap junk and it would hold up fine. What world are you living in where that's even a necessary function? kek

As if your rant about a hyper-specific group of redditoids that trigger your conspicuous designer goods 'tism even has any real substance. It's just shallow disgust directed toward equally as shallow reddit 'tards that sit around inhaling copium cause they can't afford your quadruple digit buttplug table. Why should I give a shit? You're all frankly ridiculous and sad.

Because they're only able to superficially imitate what they saw on Pinterest or Twitter so they can only choose between two things they like instead of synergizing their influences like an actual designer could.

Wolfe is also one of those names that comes up a lot if you frequent used bookstores. Gen X and Boomer shop owners love him.
fair point about it not adding anything though.
I really like Koons, really like pop art, and American modernism. I suppose a large part of that is exposure, my primary vector and educator for art is someone who has a massive respect for pop art, and I guess it's rubbed off on me. He's just so funny.
It's weird, I had someone challenge me recently to explain why I like Rothko, preceded by an autistic diatribe about how art that requires a lecture is illegitimate. Something tells me that the people who fear modernism wouldn't accept transcendence and will to power as suitable explanations for Rothko, the same way they wouldn't accept "he's really funny" as an explanation for Koons, despite neither constituting a lecture. I can understand being suspicious of art, but dismissing it entirely doesn't make much sense to me.

it's just an humble Panasonic SC-PMX92 home stereo system. nothing crazy fancy but god damn it is engineered so fucking perfectly. really clear and nice sound, really nice bass. I was so overjoyed when I first heard it. I am an acoustic engineer so I'm used to being disappointed but for 600 dollarydoos this outclassed my expectations. Here's a better look at it. >>18497713

The speakers are much deeper than they appear, which is why the bass reflex port is so effective

MCM as a label is so stupid when so much modernist stuff gets conflated under that umbrella term. Everything from Eames to Brasilia Credenzas to Verner Panton to Kartell. Even fucking Bauhaus gets called "M"CM by midwits.
