Among the intOndo stories dedicated to the most beautiful vintage moments in big screen movies and in the most followed television series, a reflection on the music world could not be missing: today we take into consideration the interior scenarios proposed by some of the most iconic music videos, which managed to condense unique visual moments in a few minutes, imprinted in our visual memory forever, full of vintage suggestions and original atmospheres that can inspire us in furnishing our spaces.
Some of the most captivating music videos are already vintage pieces in themselves, which is why we focus on the 90s, a decade we are particularly fond of, given the precious and varied musical legacy it left us: it was precisely in this period that many different musical phenomena exploded, from pop icons to grunge, from metal to britpop, up to electronic, techno, house, but above all her, the undisputed queen of the 90s sound: dance music.
Thinking back to the most danced pieces of the 90s all over the world, it is impossible not to mention a musical cult by Daft Punk, Around the World, which also managed to become a cult of video making, not surprisingly filmed by the great film director Michel Gondry. In this futuristic video clip the director mixed the echoes of the 70s with robots walking in circles on a huge vinyl, 50s synchronized swimmers and dancing skeletons, each of which represents a different musical instrument of this extraordinary musical piece.
Directors and set designers invest enormously in the care and research behind video clips, and it is often the music artists themselves who choose splendid sets for the videos of some of their greatest hits, in order to provide the perfect visual representation of a song. An extraordinary building, or an interior furnished with a particular decor, usually do the trick.
As far as pop music, here's another cult setting: we all remember the video of the song Torn, which Natalie Imbruglia launched in 1997: while she sings in the foreground, behind her lies an industrial style house decorated with essential pieces, no more than some plywood chairs in the style of Charles and Ray Eames, combined with leather elements, neutral floors and walls, while the London roofs can be seen in the distance from the windows.
Remaining in the 90s, among the kings of cool when it comes to the combination of music and interior, Jamiroquai do their part with the video of Virtual Insanity (1997): in the almost aseptic space, halfway between spaceship and dreamlike place dominated by the the white tone of backlit panels, it would not be difficult to imagine, in addition to the square leather sofas that magically move in space pushed by a supernatural force, Space Age lamps as well the most enigmatic luminous objects by the great Nanda Vigo.
When searching ispiration in a Lenny Kravitz music video you will be on the safe side, knowing you will find a refined and eclectic mix of tastes — let's not forget that in addition to being a world-renowned musician, Kravitz is an interior designer. In this regard, we remember the video of Again, where the story is interspersed with scenes set in a New York loft, in which few but connotated pieces stand out, including enveloping, organic vintage scandinavian armchairs (in the picture, a fragment of the video), a screen with movable panels by Eileen Gray and leather and tubular stell furniture, probably contemporary re-editions of the warhorses of the Bauhaus school.
We leave the 90s and briefly enter the 2000s, where the vintage style remains on the crest of the wave taking on increasingly eclectic and fun implications: we therefore propose to look at (and listen to!) Rehab, perhaps the most successful hit by Amy Winehouse: between 70s optical pattern curtains, in an old apartment decorated with boiserie, among the most interesting moments emerges the scene shot in the cast iron bathtub, amidst spherical metal lamps and animalier elements. Let yourself get inspired and watch out for the next appointment with the best vintage moments in the world of music!
