Stepping through the front door of this recently renovated desert home in Phoenix, you're immediately transported to a world of vintage sophistication meets modern luxury living. The owners, a young professional couple, had a clear vision of creating an oasis that paid homage to iconic mid-century design while still providing all the contemporary comforts.
The open concept living room makes an immediate statement with its showstopping sphere fireplace suspended from the vaulted ceilings. Rich turquoise blue Spanish tiles climb up from the circular hearth, providing a bold contrast against the crisp white walls. An original Isamu Noguchi coffee table anchors the space, its sculptural curved wood form seeming to float atop the plush cream shag rug.
But the true centerpiece is unquestionably the egg chair - an authentic vintage piece. Its spacious circular cushion is upholstered in luxe chocolate brown velvet, making it the ideal spot to cozy up with a mid-century modern novel and cocktail in hand.
The adjacent lounge area exemplifies the midmod aesthetic taken to new heights of luxury. A lush ivory leather Chesterfield sofa stretches out facing the iconic Isamo Noguchi for Vitra coffee table. Twin Barcelona chairs by Mies van der Rohe offer sleek and stylish seating options. But the real scene-stealer is the show-length shearling area rug underfoot, its soft ivory fur texture begging to be touched and cozied up on.
Moving into the formal dining space, the classic Platner collection by Knoll takes center stage. The sculptural wire dining table provides a light, airy presence visually connecting to the uber-modern open concept kitchen just beyond. Platner's iconic wireframe armchairs upholstered in rich emerald velvet provide plenty of luxe seating for hosting dinner parties or holiday gatherings. An elongated brass sputnik chandelier illuminates the entire area in a warm, sophisticated glow.
The design theme continues into the spacious master suite, where two Arne Jacobsen-designed Swan chairs make up the cozy lounge nook. Placed alongside the indoor-outdoor fireplace and looking out over the infinity edge pool and fire pit, it's the ultimate desert getaway just steps from the bedroom. Even the opulent black marble-clad bath picks up on the sculptural, sinuous vibe with its gravity-defying freestanding tub, hand-carved stone double vanity, and Sol y Luna Mexican onyx tile floors.
From the hand-picked iconic furniture pieces to the custom-designed architectural details, every element of this showpiece home comes together cohesively to celebrate the best of mid-century modern design. Yet it all feels elevated by top-notch materials, textures and uncompromising comfort. For these homeowners, it's the perfect creative blend of retro and modern living achieved through an intentional, renovation helmed by true artistic vision.
