Sofa So Good

Weird Sofa

Lila Jang Sofa, exhibited in Paris this summer.

Cool couch, but don’t know how comfortable I’d be nursing my Saturday hangover.

 

Beam Bed

This piece of furniture caught my eye straight away. To be honest, I’m not at all a fan of centre-of-the-room over-head lighting. And I’m not much a fan of standard lamps either. Lighting is a much-neglected yet important way of enhancing a room’s experience. For me, nothing does this more than with use of shadows cast throughout a room; it’s a very simple way to add interest and depth to a space and create an atmosphere or mood.

Beam Bed

This bed, designed by Lago, does that beautifully. In a room normally associated with the moon and the stars, the sunburst effect this bed creates a sunshine feel and lights the room from the ground up. The design is simple, functional and pretty stylish. A very pleasant way to light the room on those dark, winter mornings and nights.

Cool Pools

Cool Pool

Crisp planes. Glossy white finishes. Honestly, will architects ever get tired of them?  Judging from Jean Nouvel’s recently completed baths building in Le Havre, France – probably not. Enjoy stunning images below.

Interactive Architecture

Dynamic is an adjective that gets thrown around a lot in reference to contemporary design, but it accurately describes this installation by Mark Goulthorpe of dECOi Architects.  His interactive wall moves and warps in response to movement, light or sound. See video below.

Pop… the answer for unsightly ceiling tiles

I came across this product on the HighTower Group web site. I think it is a really nice option for commercial spaces.
