Adam Ant's lounge.
The design team of Powell-Tuck, Connor and Orefelt gained noteriety in 1981 when they redesigned McLaren and Westwood's shop at 430 Kings Road (the original location of SEX and Let It Rock) into World's End, a Lewis Carroll-esque surreal world of sloping floors and backward spinning clocks. This innovative design led them to be hired by 'the most beautiful man ever' ®, Adam Ant, to redecorate his new flat in London in 1982.
His bedroom.
Pooling draperies, which were padded in the hems, made from Timney-Fowler fabric.
"David Connor's drawing style marked a move away from more precise presentation work and became influential in the early 80s, for example in the work of architect Zaha Hadid."

Merci for this post! If i'd only known as a 10 yr. old girl dreaming of marrying Mr. Ant, that this is what our house would've looked like = amazing!
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful historic house. Adam has good taste for finer things.
