In a modern loft, you can't just fill a space with furniture. Each piece has to be perfect.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
If you actually keep things very organized and clutter-free, you can have more furniture than you think you can in a small space.
Lofts were never supposed to be homes. They were vacant old factories and warehouses, taken over by artists looking for cheap space and good light.
Loft living is the antithesis of suburban domesticity, if only because the open spaces don't easily accommodate family life. Lofts also offer residents the opportunity - and responsibility - to structure their own space to reflect what's important to them.
What makes a loft authentic isn't its layout or its history but its ability to give people a true home - a dwelling that reflects their personalities and aspirations, including their dreams of urbanity.
Furniture is meant to be used and enjoyed.
I used to love a well-arranged room: the furniture, the fabric, the lighting.
I consider that a man's brain originally is like a little empty attic, and you have to stock it with such furniture as you choose.
I'm drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.
How full of trifles everything is! It is only one's thoughts that fill a room with something more than furniture.
I used to build lofts in SoHo back when there was nothing there. I had a stoop on West Broadway between Prince and Spring. My partner and I would sit there, eat dinner, and watch the world go by.
