Joseph Pilates and Oriental Rugs
Joseph Pilates was a genius when it came to understanding the human body and coming up with a whole new exercise regimen. Many of you probably do “Pilates” workouts every week.
But Joseph Pilates was also a a great interior designer! Take a look at this shot of his studio that he ran in New York from the 1920s to the 1960s. Check out those beautiful oriental rugs under his reformers (that’s the name of the exercise tables). I also love the claw-foot ends on the legs of the reformers. What a gorgeous looking studio!
If my Pilates studio looked more like Joseph Pilates’ historic studio, I can guarantee you I would be there much more often! (and I would be in better shape!)
