CURATE: Urban Biology

Unabashedly a sucker for interiors that aren’t afraid of a good dose of quirk. Include some science equipment – laboratory glassware (giant test tubes make great vases), anatomical charts or biological models and animal classification posters. A great paradigm of this style of “Dark Nostalgia’ is the Manhattan apartment of dubbed ‘New Antiquarians’ Hollister and Porter Hovey, which is well-documented in their fabulous blog. Also check out the home of artists Jessica Grindstaff and Erik Sanko, who have taken this movement to a very cool extreme – filled to the brim with oddities…
