The Inabo Home

Not only did Italian industrial designer and architect Ettore Sottsass design some of the most iconic furniture pieces ever, he also drew a couple of houses. Like this Silicon Valley dream finished in 2000 for example. We could definitely have an Arnold Palmer or two by that pool on a hot summer day.  Work space perfection.

We figured we'd start off with one of our dream houses, designed by interior designer India Mahdavi. We wouldn't mind spending a few days in this Connecticut country house, lounging in the spacious living room, chilling at the Piet Hein Eek table in the pool house, or dreaming away in the James Turrell light work (!). Lamp, table and dog. We want it all.   Piet Hein Eek table in the pool house. Sol LeWitt wall drawing in the game room. Just a lil' James Turrell light installation in the main house. Dreamy for sure.    All images from Architectural Digest.

For our own sake, and maybe for someone else to be inspired too. So welcome to The Inabo Home, we hope it will be beautiful, inspiring and fun!

The project was commissioned by Swede Folke Egerström in the 1960,...
