Loft Living – Human Scale
Loft spaces are generally expansive – open floor plans with very high ceilings. Working that into a human scale can be challenging. Susan Diana Harris, a San Francisco based designer did it by “…introducing sculptural details that invite us to touch and play.” She took a loft space in a Yerba Buena loft South of Market in SF and infused it with color, curves, pattern and organic materials. I found this vignette she created on a zebrano wood sideboard to be a nice composition of color and balance. She selected the pieces in contrast to the modern industrial space. She felt these handmade, “imperfect” pieces were the perfect complement to the clean modern lines of the architecture. The ceramic bowls and stands she selected are by Marilyn MacKenzine Ceramics, the wood vases from Cost Plus and the console from West Elm. Photography by Frankie Norstad Photography.
