Chic and modern apartment interiors in Chicago

Apartment in Chicago-Homepolish-01-1 Kindesign

This beautifully designed modern apartment interior is the home of a Chicago based designer, Gabriel Fontes who works for interiors firm Homepolish, based out of New York. The designer decorated his home in a monochromatic color palette which really helped to unify the space, while at the same time infusing natural textures in the scheme to help soften the overall aesthetic. ย The owner comprised his design style with his husband and decided to meet down the middle.ย The home showcasesย a balanced mix of sleek minimalism and a comfortableย traditional scheme. The apartment has a real homey feel, open and inviting with lots of texture and a hint of Scandi on the dining chairs.ย โ€œOur main goal for our place was to merge the two backgrounds in some way, says Gabriel, โ€œI think in order for a home to feel welcoming and sophisticated, the people living there need to be comfortable in it and proud of what the home they’ve created.โ€

Bleh. The plywood chair looks out of place in the living room. Looks like Grandma’s house or a west elm store.

Which masterpiece “plywood” chair are you referring to?

John was probably referring to the Eames molded plywood chair in the first image.

I know. Besides the Eames potato chip chair is the Eames lounge chair by the fireplace which also incorporates molded plywood in its construction.
A poor attempt at snark.

Not sure, but if my grandmother’s house looked like that I would be pretty impressed by her designer pieces!
