Aesthetics Beyond Clothes - Topic of the day 3/29/25
While clothes are the main event here, "personal" style can extend to nearly everything. Do you have a favored style of art, interior design, furniture, etc. How similar is it to your personal style of dress? What benefit or drawback is there to aligning these things (clothes, decor and the like) in one's life?

everyone go take the Cristina Cleveland interior design quiz
Thought of Art's hats.
I'm Pop Arcade interior but wear basically all black across three genres: minimalist rick, greyman techwear, and slim fit raw denim
:letsfuckinggo: i also got pop arcade
I got museum bookstore
which seems about right
I also got museum bookstore
It's accurate, for sure, but I can't deny there's a part of me that yearns for that Ken Isaacs DIY style
i think i’m much more colorful in home decor than i am in clothes bc the white expanse of my walls makes it very easy to not feel overwhelmed w color
I got pop arcade! Fun quiz
I tend to prefer neutral and pretty minimal well lit spaces which is in direct opposition to how I dress
Dogs really doing a lot of heavy lifting for the pictures I see in that subreddit
Love pops color and unique objects as decor. Probably too much of a mcm fan boy when it comes to furniture, but it matches my 1961 rambler.
Some of my favorite finds:
Huge fan of Richard Serra. Was first attracted to his work because it reminded me a lot of 2001 Space Odyssey a long time ago, but really began to love it when I got to interact/walk around Torqued Ellipses. You are really forced to engage with the space when examining his works, and I think it gave me a greater appreciation/eye for it.
Plus, one of his most infamous works, Titled Arc, pissed a lot of people off by placing a giant piece of unfinished steel interrupting the path in which people walked through a federal plaza on their way to work. The ensuing lawsuit and removal was the basis for a book I really love by Gaddis titled "A Frolic of His Own" that satirizes law.

on the furniture front, most recently ive been interested in deisgners who also work in industrial design. dieter rams is probably the most well known in that regards. joe colombo has a ton of really fun stuff. if furniture wasn't so expensive my living room would probably look like my closet, just packed, but chairs instead of clothes.
Who makes these shelve units in the upper right?
sorry, i should have clarified that all of the designs pictured are Joe Colombo!
that bar cabinet :ohyes:
I feel like my interior design or lack thereof mirrors my clothing vibe pretty well
My wife honestly has been the purveyor of most of the interior design stuff in our house (including the pool hall/bar area, pictured)
I’ve never really felt that my home space should be anything other than utilitarian
This was fun!
I’ve always liked this since I was a little kid.

Man this makes so much sense, this is a fun quiz
My love of giallo movies clearly shining through lol
i don’t have much of an opportunity to decorate for myself as I’m a student atm, but a lot of the furniture/decor I find myself drawn to is generally between mid century stuff and more traditionally inspired styles as attached. i’d say this generally correlates with a lot of my fashion influences being a bit preppier and/or 60s/70s inspired
RIP, I've seen his work at Glenstone, Dia: Beacon, and another. The way his work shapes light and shadows is beautiful.
My friend teaches industrial design and the chair this is so funny. They were an art director and did a 100 ways of sitting in a chair photography project.
My style isn't consistent in aesthetic but there's a theme of function first and then see if it fits together. Art Deco used to really stick with me before mid century modern.
I'm branching out a little bit more.
My "clean" looks tend to be monotone, contrasting in shapes. Not really avant garde like Rick, Yohji and Acne I've seen here.
Some days, I just want a F U outfit in colors and graphic Ts. Makes me laugh.
It's all contextual. What I like to see and live in is not the same as what I put on my body.
Different vessels and applications.
Very clean and well lit/laid out!
Love the colors
this is very bisexual
Makes sense!
thanks!
They're siblings if that messes it up lol
well, plenty of bisexual siblings. Its not that much about their chemistry and primarily about the meme that bisexuals are unable to sit normally on chairs lol
Oooh. Ty for educating. 👵
ditto, I just went to Glenstone yesterday
I miss it! So tranquil
