A parchment sheathed salon in the New York townhouse of ophthalmologist and gallery owner Dr Stephen Kelly designed by Geoffrey Bradfield and the late Jay Spectre features a six-panel 1920s lacquered and incised screen by Eileen Gray and a pair of club chairs covered in a geometric patterned Fortuny fabric. ‘La Trinité’, a bronze sculpture by Jan and Joel Martel, was purchased from the estate of Geoffrey Beene. * Photo by @jeffhirschphotography for @newyorksocialdiary Merci @the_london_list for sharing * #stephenkelly #artdeco #modernluxe #modernluxury @geoffreybradfield #jayspectre #1990sdesign #parchmentwalls #eileengray #fortuny #bronzesculpture #janmartel #joelmartel #geoffreybeene #neutralrooms #neutrals #restrainedelegance https://www.instagram.com/p/BsS7nD1lH9j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14hl09ag5092n

#JanMartel #JoelMartel, Maquette for Cubist Tree, 1925. “Twins Jan and Joël Martel are best known for the four concrete Cubist "trees" they designed for a garden at the 1925 Exposition Internationale des Arts Décoratifs et Industriels Modernes in Paris, a maquette of which is shown here. More than fifteen feet high, each tree had a cruciform trunk supporting quadrangular planes attached vertically and at angles, suggesting foliage. Like other examples of cutting-edge design at the fair, the Martel trees were derided in the popular press.” - via @metmuseum

Royal Birthdays for today, September 28th:...

As well as poor King Carlos of Portugal, 1863:

Thank you! I’ll add him into the post. I do my best to get as many as I can find, but wiki is notoriously unreliable for listing everyone in their articles for the particular day.

It’s so WEIRD that his wife is listed in the article for that day, but he’s not! I wonder why...
