Gary Card and Henderson McCue Make a Beautiful Mess
Susan Read — August 19, 2009 — Art & Design
Gary Card and Henderson McCue are showing off their London home, but it looks like they forgot to tidy up before inviting us over.
That’s exactly the point of this clutter aesthetic, as these two style savvy Brits push the boundaries of conventional home decor. Forget minimalist designs and subtle accents, Card and McCue prefer to revel in a modern mess. We love the assault of colour and visual chaos as they challenge us to let it all hang loose, pile up, and topple over!
Over mountains of records, under waterfalls of toys, the home of Card and McCue is where nature and artifice collide. It’s fun, funny, and functional (we think): this is a fabulous home design that encourages us to hide where everyone when can find us.
So, let your inner beauty out with some of these cool and chaotic ideas!
