Daft Punk at Lautner’s Sheats Goldstein Residence in LA.
23rd May
I realise that Yellowtrace is not a music blog, so we shall leave Daft Punk’s brand new album “Random Access Memories” alone, while I draw your attention to something else. I’m talking about their recent slick photo shoot set in a famous modernist house in Los Angeles – Sheats Goldstein Residence, designed by celebrated American modernist architect John Lautner…
Oh Kappetain, My Kappetain // Los Angeles Home of Architect Ray Kappe.
19th March
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – LA houses like this are what happens when modernist ideas go to the coast, unwinds by the beach, and unravels in all this louche, approachable brilliance. This is the sort of modern house you’d want to be your friend…
Malibu Stacy’s Dream Home.
20th November
I’ll preface this with a disclaimer – I’m about to hold forth on Los Angeles modernism, and I have not been to LA. One day I plan to, with the sole intention of soaking up some great mid-century modernist architecture and design. And when the day comes, I’ll be on edge. And here’s why…

10th April
I spotted this delicious looking fashion editorial over on Vogue’s online pages, featuring Natalia Vodianova (wearing clothes by the likes of Proenza Schouler, Marni, Etro, Prada, Valentino, Marc Jacobs, Balenciaga and Dior) photographed by Mario Testino in his incredible LA home. Beautiful clothes aside, it was Testino’s home which blew me away really hard.

The man’s job is photographing and capturing exquisite beauty, and you’d hope that decades of this work would have rubbed off on his design taste buds…
