地下歩行空間でばったり @takechas タケチャスレコードさんがレコード販売されてたので色々探してましたが、素敵な出会いがありましたよー。 Barbee Boys のファーストアルバム「1st OPTION」です！1985年だから、私が11歳の頃ですなー。 当時、貸しレコード屋さんで80年代洋楽と邦楽にハマってた頃です。 あと、札幌で活躍されてるバービーボーイズのカヴァーバンドの「BLACK★LIST」に今年からギターで参加することになりました！まだ今日を覚えている最中ですが、形になったら改めて告知しますー。 あ、レコード入れる袋がコーネリアスの名盤のモチーフですよねー。これも良いですな。 #barbeeboys #1stoption #recordshop (札幌駅前通地下歩行空間北3条イベントスペース) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnQDGexybR8/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Contemporary retro

The 70s wasn’t just about disco balls, lava lamps and shades of brown. It was a tough period, where recession and high unemployment led to an era where sustainable principles and self-expression were at the heart of design. I’ve scoured our library to find locations with subtle 70s nods, reimagined in a contemporary setting.

Shepperton - Our new location Shepperton has a distinctly grown-up feel to it. Stepping away from garish florals, the monochrome geometric pattern with gold hints shows us how a feature wall is done. 

Steel - Orange was undoubtedly the colour of the decade (and my favourite too) - this INCREDIBLE sofa at Steel is the stuff of groovy 70s interior dreams.

Kingsley - Impeccably polished Kingsley is a beautifully-designed modernist space that uses dark wooden panelling to create 70s chic without compromising on light. If that’s too subtle then spot the disco ball….

Olive - Olive has become one of our most swooned over locations here at 1st Option HQ. It’s hard to pinpoint one trend in this stunning family home but I’ll give you a moment to take in the abundance of greenery in this shot as the 70s back to nature movement loved to bring the outside in.

Deerhurst Road - We can’t complete our 70s feature without including Deerhurst Road. The abundance of wallpaper, wood panelling and the avocado green bathroom is more than a nod to the era but I just can’t resist. 

Settle yourself in the rattan hanging chair and ponder where they sourced that magnificent shag?

Coffee at Clapham Common

As Winter is definitely upon us, a cup of coffee can surely not be improved on… No, we’re not talking about the usual Starbucks festive bevvies; George Clooney and our Clapham Common location have gone one better!

This advert from Nespresso was ‘shot’ earlier this year... (if you pardon the coffee pun) ;)

 We also LOVE this Behind the Scenes video with gorgeous George and the crew on-set…

Clapham Common is exclusive to 1st Option.
