TIMELESS MODERN HOUSE IN CHICAGO WITH THE KASUAL COLLECTION

KARIM RASHID’S CASUAL AND MODERN REPRESENTATION BY MID CENTURY STUDIO

Opening the door to timeless modernity and casualism in the same house is not an easy task at all, but it is an essential point these days. The needs of our daily lives have forced design to reinterpret itself, and this project is nothing more than the representation of the perfect balance of comfort, simplicity, stunning beauty, and form. This house was designed with the purpose of people spending more time inside, as home is now work, sanctuary, school, restaurant, among many other spaces.

Comprising 6 bedrooms, a living room and dining room, kitchen, and also a movie room, you have all the conditions to live an enjoyable life in this wonderful home. Located in Chicago, the third largest city in the United States, it meets all the parameters of comfort in both the cold winter and the hot summer. On the shore of the gigantic Lake Michigan, this luxurious home has beautiful views that look like a landscape from a painting. Mid Century Studio, responsible for this project, wanted to transport the beauty of nature into the house, so they included a winter garden in the center that spans the two floors with all the rooms surrounding it.

Hallway

We’re all familiar with “making a good impression,” and this unique aisle design really delivers the perfect message to impress your guests. In this stunning look, our designers paired this exclusive piece with an exquisite lighting structure created with DelighFULL’s new Kapsule suspension, designed by creative Karim Rashid.

Kapsule is a lamp that is so sculptural and so functional at the same time that it makes it timeless and precious. It is distinctive for its feminine futuristic vibe capable of making a room magazine-worthy and livable at the same time.

Kitchen

Next up is a fabulous luxury kitchen design with high-end custom cabinetry made with a combination of dark marble and wood. This unique kitchen set was complemented with other sophisticated black and gold elements, such as the unreleased MidCentury Club bar chairs on the kitchen island, exclusively chosen and shown for the first time in this project, or Karim Rashid’s Katia pendant lamps above it.

DelightFULL’s Katia lighting collection is like a constellation of endless possibilities, whether singular or grouped together. This mushroom style pendant lamp has a curved brass shade and a cylindrical body, evoking a 70’s feel. A pendant lamp that was first available in 2021, yet it could easily be mistaken for a European flea market find. This mid-century modern lamp is more oblong than another mushroom-style lamp, due to its unique silhouette that we probably won’t find often.

Dining Room

Since the open concept is the key element of this unique project, guests have the opportunity to see the dining room as they are comfortably seated in the living area. This large dining space features a luxurious look complete with Karim Rashid’s incredible Krown lamp that brings exquisite light and style to this unique space with its grandeur and sophisticated lines, complemented by the beautiful Bertoia marble dining table and Isadora dining chairs from Essential Home.

This lamp by DelightFULL is synonymous with sensuality, with its old-fashioned facets and the stereotypes of lighting history, while still maintaining its beauty. Its geometry if shades combined with its handmade brass frame is the true statement of luxury.

Cinema

For any cinema room, comfort and lighting are very important. The comfort is guaranteed with the sofa from Essential Home and the lighting is perfect with the beautiful Miles table lamp from DelightFULL. A classic mid-century modern table lamp that brings back the sophisticated atmosphere of the 1950s. A very sophisticated fixture that sits well in any room, we can see it in this cinema, as in a bedroom or even in an office.
