Inspired by her experience growing up in the 1970s as the daughter of an interior decorator, designer Lindsey Adelman created the Tardi Sofa—smartly named because “it took a damn long time.” The sensible silhouette is punctuated by the sofa’s playful colorway, evoking an element of surprise and irreverence while adding visual intrigue to any decor.

Over the last decade, architect Francine Monaco and her husband, David Bauer, have filled their bungalow on Long Island with rare furniture, art, and antiques. In the living room, midcentury Danish chairs join a camel saddle covered with an alpaca hide, used as an ottoman. Francine had round “lily pads” cut from gingham-patterned carpeting.

Here's Christopher laying out the fabrics for the pricier option... I'm smitten with the buttery camel-colored leather. The cowhide, shiny shag rug, and upholstered pillows less so.

Here's a detail shot of the stool. The leather comes in four options—black, chocolate, tobacco, and saddle—and the brightly hued backing fabric comes in ten—sky, radish, egg yolk, cream, camel, charchol, sand, mocha, chocolate, and black.

After the locks, I took a walk down Ballard Avenue, the main drag of the one of the city's hippest neighborhoods these days. One shop I stopped at was Camelion Design, which I had read about on Design*Sponge's Seattle guide.

Fans of designer Charles Pollock will be into this pair of camel leather-upholstered office chairs designed by Pollock for Knoll, estimated to net between $700 and $900. (No reserve.) The upholstery resembles the chair he designed for Bernhardt in 2012 and the chair itself is a classic in the midcentury modern canon.

Though the Lowerline House may appear radically different, it deliberately mimics the neighboring shotgun camel-backs. The form is derived from a time when city taxes were based on the height of a building at the street front. To get more space but not get taxed, houses were built up on the rear of the property, problem solved.

The couple only tweaked the layout by enlarging the bench and main bed, and adding storage wherever possible. Then came a new color palette of white and mint, which was paired with camel-colored accents in the dining nook upholstery, a wood screen that divides the nook from the bed, and a pendant light. The last step was to finish the exterior. "That was the most transformative moment for us,

The color palette is neutral, a wood-like vinyl material was selected for the floors, which has interesting acoustic properties, as well as being very easy to install and has basic maintenance. The armchairs discreetly stand out with their camel-colored leather, nuanced by the terracotta of the partition and the gray and neutral tones of the painted walls, highlighting the nature of the engineered stave wood of the lambrines.

In the living room, Myers combined the client’s existing camel leather from Room & Board with a vintage WC Gerard van den Berg-style loveseat, found at the L.A.-based store Amsterdam Modern. The rug is the Joelle from Lulu and Georgia, and the overhead light a Petite Friture Vertigo Pendant. “The living room is really special, especially in the early evening when the room is filled with the light coming in from the sunset,” says Alexandra. “Nothing beats a Texas sunset.” The artwork is by Alexandra’s friend.

A look at the view toward the driver's seat and front of the bus. The family built two camel leather couches facing one another for the living area. A table can be placed between them for family meals. Built-in storage in the couch bases hold everything from extension cords and leveling blocks to board games and kettle balls. The armrests also open up and have outlets inside. "I intentionally built the five-inch ledge behind the couches for our coffee in the morning," says Ashley. "The kids also use this ledge to play with their LEGO mini figs or their tech decks. It serves its purpose well!"
