Arbitrage is a suspense thriller directed by Nicholas Jarecki, about a billionaire and hedge fund tycoon, Robert Miller played by Richard Gere who tries to sell a large portion of his firm to cover crooked accounting, as a result of bad deals. The movie is narrated through Robert Miller's point of view as he struggles with a shaky merger relying heavily on the reputation of his family run business with implications on his wife, Ellen (Susan Sarandon) and daughter, Brooke (Brit Marling) as his chief financial officer. Miller's sheer confidence, calm and collected persona conceals the desperation underneath, as he arrogantly gains control over unforeseen events that would explode into a catastrophic loss of everything he has extremely worked hard to build. The story challenges one's moral grounds and how love, loyalty and family are outweighed by one's priorities.
There are several decisions to be made when planning the dining space. Should it be private or open to the living area? How many seating is required? What happens when more guests arrive beyond the seating capacity? Should it be incorporated within a kitchen? Or should it be held separately on its own adjacent to it?
I happen to have a lot of time in my hands the past few days so I have been stalking Contemporist and found this innovative design of an expansion and remodeling of an old rail house in Sanpoort-Noord, Netherlands by Zecc Architects .
My heart beat stopped when I saw these organizers for the home office wall from
Pottery Barn . This system and a gigantic inspiration board are on my priority list. Daily System- Espresso Stain, daily modular system mounted on a stainless-steel rod that slides. One can easily move or add each piece, from cork boards, office organizers, letter bins to mobile phone holders. What do you think?

This is the scene in my mind of a perfect Friday evening. Quiet. Romantic. Reflective. The sound of crickets as one breathes in the scent of pine trees from the cool Autumn breeze. Watching the sunset, dining al fresco with a loved one, a friend or family. Or even on my own.
In reality, I'm now back in the warm sandy air of the Middle East. I will continue to dream about trees, the lake, infinity pool and the outdoor furniture from Kettal Park Life collection designed by Jasper Morrison. While we wait for the cooler season to come in a few weeks, a quiet, romantic and reflective evening is always within reach.
I wish you all a relaxing Friday.
XOXO,
Arni

THE One recently launched THE One Junior , their brand new children's furniture concept. Small -scale versions of adult furniture and accessories for little ones aged 3-16. Sophisticated junior sized upholstered beds, mini dining tables and chairs perfectly proportioned to little princes and princesses with a hint of old soul.
Last July, I mentioned here that I was finishing the design and execution of an Office Renovation. The project has now been completed and a formal launch will be held soon. Here's a current image of the sitting area at reception. The chartreuse arm chair is a recent addition to liven up the monochromatic grey and white colors of the interior. The blue suede poufs were customized. You'll definitely be the first to witness the project images here once the photo shoots are done.
XOXO,
Arni
