I like this room that I found on flickr. A link to the photographer's flickr page is below for more pics. I especially like the Eames lounge with the light next to it. Anybody know what color leather and type of wood the lounge is, and who the light is by? How about the dot art on the wall?

Nice.
Click on photos for enlargement. I'm wondering what the flooring is . . .

You can ask the guy whose condo it is, you know. Just leave a comment on the photo on Flickr.

At first I thought it was good, a comfortable room that someone isn't too uptight about but then looking a bit closer everything from the idiot box to what appears to be an mdf floor is a bit off, artworks framed in squares is kinda blah too, its not how the world is viewed, at least television deals with that appropriately.
At least there are books.

Bamboo
It's probably pre-finished bamboo flooring

I like the view of Seattle
and Puget Sound with the Olympics on the horizon. The flat looks like someone's girlfriend gets the staff discount at DWR.
Brent, I thought it looked like engineered bamboo, too, or printed Pergo.

The guy in the Adidas shirt is way better looking than the room 🙂

Yeah, lamp is by Ben Seibel, for Raymor (see link for more info), and the art is by Damien Hirst. Both of those items are gonna set you back a bit 🙂

I like the
hard and the soft material palettes, anyway. I've never noticed an Eames lounger more seamlessly integrated into an environment . . .

There's such a fine line,,,
... between "seamless integration" and "monochromatic beige blandness".
The Valium print is nice.

Thanks
I thought the floor was cork tiles, but maybe it isn't. I agree with SDR about the Eames lounge. I like it in this room. Thanks for the info and comments.

There are some nice pieces there...
...but it all looks a bit cluttered for my liking. I could imagine banging my knee on the sofa each time I go to sit down, but then again, I am tall and clumsy.

Calming--but no more beige
My impression is that the owner probably designed, perhaps unintentionally, the room around the Eames lounger. Which is a nice color, but it beige.... The room needs other colors to break up monotony and bring vibrancy and warmth. If the owner is determined to stick with so much beige, paint the walls for a nice contrast. A warmer print would also help.
I wonder how it looks in different lighting.
I concur with Heath about the guy in the Adidas shirt.
