EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a studio living-room in one of the iconic Isokon Lawn Road Flats in Hampstead, London, back in 1936. The room showcases the minimalist urban living concept that was at the heart of this experimental building. The partition wall, made from Venesta polished birch plywood, cleverly divides the space while maintaining an open feel. The floor covering is cellulin, adding a touch of modernity to the room. A cozy divan bed by the Vono Company sits against one wall, inviting relaxation after a long day. The steel chair by Pel Ltd adds a sleek and contemporary element to the design. Meanwhile, Isokon unit bookcases made from Venesta oak ply provide both storage and style. The rug, bedspread, and curtain all feature silver neotolin fabric by Heal & Son Ltd. , adding elegance and sophistication to this studio space. It's interesting to note that these flats had small kitchens as there was a communal kitchen for meal preparation—a unique feature of Isokon living. This print offers us a glimpse into 1930s interior design trends with its monochrome aesthetic and use of natural materials like wood. It serves as a reminder of how innovative architecture can shape our daily lives and inspire new ways of thinking about urban housing concepts.
