Can you guess what it is yet ? Answers on a postcard.....
Unusually for me, this photo is 'hot of the press' as it was taken earlier today when visiting Southampton University on an open day with my son. I think he was rather embarassed as having received some quizzical looks from the Uni volunteers he felt it necessary to explain that I take photos everywhere I go.....

Lately, I've been diving into 1960s and 1970's interior design. After looking at old family photos I created this vignette.

Thank you Pep
Inside the Transamerica Pyramid’s ground-level galleries, a familiar object becomes architectural. A stack of Eames fiberglass side chairs—red, yellow, blue, black, and ivory—rises like a small modernist tower, each shell hovering just above the next. Stripped of their everyday function, the chairs read as planes, curves, and edges, held in tension by the thin geometry of their metal bases.
The composition is deliberately calm. Light falls evenly across the fiberglass, revealing decades of wear without sentimentality. Color is present, but disciplined: primary hues anchored by steel and white, contained within the quiet palette of glass, concrete, and the filtered green of Redwood Park outside. Nothing competes for attention. The stack is the idea.
This is midcentury design understood the San Francisco way—not as nostalgia, but as systems thinking. Repetition, modularity, and restraint are doing the work here, the same values embedded in the Pyramid’s concrete structure just beyond the frame. The chairs echo the building: light on their feet, precise in their alignment, human-scaled but intellectually rigorous.
At thumbnail size, the image resolves into a simple silhouette punctuated by color. Up close, texture takes over—the subtle translucence of fiberglass, the scuffed edges, the rhythm of legs touching down in perfect sequence. It’s a reminder that some of the city’s most compelling architecture lives indoors, quietly arranged, waiting for someone to slow down and look long enough to see the order beneath the color.
Rocking Chair by Jack Rogers Hopkins
circa 1970’s, USA. Walnut
Branded JACK/ROGERS/HOPKINS
"Domestically proportioned pieces by Jack Rogers Hopkins are exceedingly scarce and highly sought after. Hopkins is an important and influential sculptor/furniture designer who helped defined the California design scene in the 70’s. He mastered laminated wood and applied it to never seen before forms. Although Hopkins created other chairs, this is an exceptional and unique piece. The Rocking Chair simultaneously pays homage to one of the most cherished American pieces of furniture while realizing the form in a creative and dynamic manner. Despite the form’s ingenuity and presence, it is surprisingly comfortable."

At the base of the Transamerica Pyramid, the city briefly lowers its voice. This colonnade—often passed through without a second glance—reveals itself here as a rigorously composed piece of urban architecture, where repetition, weight, and proportion do the talking. Shot head-on, the structure becomes a sequence of compressed moments: angled concrete beams locking into place overhead, tapered columns pulling the eye forward, and a distant opening that quietly anchors the frame.
Black and white strips the scene to its essentials. The grain of the concrete reads like weathered stone, dense and tactile, while the shadows hold their shape without collapsing into darkness. Light pools gently along the ceiling planes, emphasizing the geometry without dramatics. The result feels less like a corridor and more like a nave—an accidental cathedral built for movement rather than ceremony.
This is San Francisco modernism at its most restrained. No skyline theatrics, no postcard gestures. Just structure, repetition, and the peculiar calm that settles in Redwood Park when the surrounding streets recede. The faint marks on the pavement hint at daily life continuing through the frame, but nothing interrupts the central idea: architecture as rhythm.
Images like this don’t shout. They reward patience, symmetry, and an understanding of how this city hides some of its most compelling spaces at ground level. Step inside the geometry, let the noise fall away, and the Transamerica Pyramid becomes something quieter, heavier, and unexpectedly human.
Kitchen of Whitebrick Sand House MOC.
Whitebrick Sand House is characterized by straight lines, glass and sandy colours. Placed in desertlike environment, yet close to civilization. Somewhere to relax.
The white flowers surround this split-level house inspired by 20th Century modernist architecture. The SNOT windows along the livingroom and bedroom started this build and it is almost a little brother to my previous Artsand House MOC. As always, I've spent a lot of time working on the interiors and I'm pretty fond of the combined kitchen and livingroom myself. I hope you like it too!
The house is a calm and silent place to call home. The livingroom is hovering above the still water of the swimming pool. The living area is divided into different floor levels. Kitchen and toilet are located on ground floor. Landing, livingroom, bedroom and bathroom can be found on next level. A combined music and reading corner is hosted on the highest level. A friend of mine told me that she imagined this house to be located in Italy. I think that Italy is a very good guess.

Koloman Moser (1868 - 1918) was an Austrian painter, graphic artist and artistic craftsman. He was a foremost member of the Vienna Secession, an art movement closely related to Art Nouveau that was formed in 1897, and a co-founder of Wiener Werkstätte, a production community of visual artists and artisans, which was established in 1903 and is regarded as a pioneer of modern design.
