FURNISHING PROPOSALS INSPIRED BY FAMOUS BOOKS - LIFESTYLE

The Great Gatsby, Alice in Wonderland, 1984: when design is inspired by the most famous books

Reading a book is a bit like taking a trip; your imagination is transported to unique, fantastic and different times and atmospheres from the ones we are experiencing. Then there are books that remain in our hearts, which we love to reread even after many years and in whose stories we would like to be catapulted into the role of protagonists, right?

But literature is also a source of inspiration for art and for design in particular, and to surround yourself with furnishings and accessories that recall that or that "other" best seller, you just have to choose.

Look, for example, at our proposals ...

A magical bed, inspired by the world of fairy tales ... Sleeping on it would make you dream of frogs transformed into princes, enchanted castles and fairy woods ...

How to choose the right mattress and rest great!

The furnishings of the designer Vincent Thomas Leman instead make the happiness of all lovers of the timeless Alice in Wonderland with their unlikely and almost unreal lines.

Always inspired by the tale of Lewis Carroll, the complements and accessories - very many - offered by the online store The White Rabbit. Do you like these witty pill boxes?

And what about this Valsecchi side table? The reference to Collodi's story is more than evident. Perfect for those who tell a few lies ... just like Pinocchio. Design by Luigi Baroli.

Here we pass instead to the refinement and retro class of the famous novel The Great Gatsby, by Francis Scott Fitzgerald, with furnishings and accessories in Art Deco style, which take us back in time, to the "20s," 30s and "40s, years of economic well-being and opulence also in design. The atmospheres of that period also inspired many Hollywood films, who does not remember Woody Allen's romantic Midnight in Paris?

If, on the other hand, you prefer the rarefied and silent atmospheres of the underwater world, just like the one featured in Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne, you can be inspired by these interior design accessories, which seem to have just emerged from the deepest and most unexplored waters.

In particular, the lamps are part of the Radiolaria collection by Jan Jacob Borstlap, while the bench is the work of the French designer and craftsman who loves wood and natural materials, Benjamin Graindorge.

For those who love modern and futuristic design and are a devourer of science fiction books, like 1984 by George Orwell, Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, Solaris by Stanislaw Lem o 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur C. Clarke, there is "spoiled for choice".

Look at Manta, the carbon fiber armchair designed by Robby Cantarutti, or the folding metal sheet table with unique geometry by AndViceVersa or, again, Pond Kitchen, the sci-fi kitchen by Korean designer Jaehoon Jung!

And, finally, there is also the futuristic Ovetto waste bin, made of recycled and completely eco-friendly polypropylene.
