Being a 23 year old with my own rented flat (unfortunately rented, which means I cannot put any art on my walls,) my imagination has gone into overdrive on how to decorate my living space, so lookimng through the webiverse for interior inspiration has become a daily occurrence, and just like any normal 20-something year old I enjoy making wishlists of these little knick knacks.
I've always wanted to include wishlists as part of my blog, with each post having it's own theme or focusing on a particular shop, in this articles case- The Hobo Society.
As I stated in my first article, The Hobo Society focuses on unique buys. They focus on the quality of their product rather than the quantity, and travel the world hunting for the best and unique buys for their buyers. Here are a few things that have taken my fancy from their website:
This little beauty is entitled 'Quartz', designed by CTRL ZAK and Davide Barzaghi. Made up of pentagons and hexagons, the wooden structure begins to look three-dimensional due to the effect of the stuffing. It's a limited edition production, too, due to the nature of it's manufacture. So in summary, each copy of this beautiful chair will be unique and one of a kind piece
Reason I like it: It looks incredibly comfy. I can picture myself with my favourite book, curled up like a ball in the middle, sinking into the foam with a cup of tea in my hand, enjoying life. Unfortunately my flat is quite small so it might take up a bit of space.
Price: $12,532 / £7,471 (+ shipping)
This gorgeous design can either be hanged or it can also be used as a sit down mood light. It undergoes insane handcrafting before the laser goes into overdrive, and cuts each layer individually which then creates a smooth piece. As it states on the website "Rich natural materials and curvaceous inner carvings foster the Padouk light's ability to create a warm, intimate atmosphere"
Reason I like it: The colour is absolutely beautiful! The fiery red will bring some much needed colour into any bland apartment. The smoothness of it's curves looks relaxing and fun. It's different, and that's why I like it, simple yet different - there is nothing over the top about the design and it catches your eye. It'll be a great talking point between any house owner and guest.
Price: $542/£324 (free shipping)
For all you literacy lovers and bookworms out there, I present to you the ARCHIVE II, in all it's divine glory! The ARCHIVE II was created by architect David Garcia (who they met in a bar in Copenhagen). The aim of this piece is to blur the lines between design and art. It has bookshelves on both sides. The aim is to create the illusion of an open space, a chic minimalist effect. I believe it's also designed to take you into another world with your book, a world where you are truly embedded within the story, blocking out any distractions.
Reason I like it: Just look at it! I can be lost in it for days with Darcy and Lizzie, Heathcliff and Welles. I would probably just lounge and take refuge within its confinement. It'll just be me and my imagination. Plus, great cardio.
Price: £10,903/$18,290 (+ shipping)
When you visit The Hobo Society's website you will come to realise that they love their skulls and, personally, this is my absolute favourite. Made in hand in the ol' US of A, the artist specialises in turning animal skulls into beautiful wall art. The artist makes sure she honours the spirit of the animal by adorning them with materials such as gemstones to African beads.
Reason I like it: The colours are beautiful as well as the mosaic pattern is pretty too. The colours are so calming and relaxing and again a good conversation starter. It would make a change from the usual painting or family portrait.
Price: $2,507/£1,495 (+ shipping)
Of course the turquoise skull needs a companion, and this is probably the next best on the website! Created by the same designer, she has also used a mosaic pattern on this skull too but with no added decoration.
Reason I like it: This beast looks so powerful compared to it's counterpart. I would place this on top of my desk in my study. It has this fighting spirit about it, which I hope will be past to me with my blogging and photography career. It's such an eye grabbing piece - nothing subtle about it. The horns are also really impressive, it gives the sense of power, too.
Price: £1,333/$2,236 (+ shipping).
Thus concludes my article(s) on The Hobo Society. I would like to thank them for letting me write articles on their fabulous store and I hope you enjoyed reading them.
