Corner Chair by Anton Björsing Is Always Connected to a Faraway Soul Mate

Designer Anton Björsing has come up with a unique chair concept that has been specifically designed for rooms with plenty of corners. Sure you’ll say that a room only has four corners, and that would be right unless the architecture of a particular room offers various other extra corners that could benefit from such Corner Chairs. We’re looking not at one, but at two chairs that are always connected and thus create the Corner Chair, even if they are placed on totally different sides of a wall’s corner. Buying more than one Corner Chair set, once they would be available in furniture stores, could be pretty difficult though for the average home as they will fit only certain corners.

Rainbow Apartment Would Be Ruined by Furniture

Are you looking for the perfect colors to paint your apartment in? No problem then as in this case we have the perfect solution for you: use all the colors and you won't be sorry! Check out the apartment in the images below, which uses all the colors of the rainbow and then some. Designed, or better said decorated, by Tham & Videgard Hansson Arkitekts, this particular apartment will really impress any visitor. The problem is that you'd have a very hard time finding matching furniture for such a paint job. Not to mention that regular furniture might totally ruin the rainbow effect of this particular custom paint project. And if you won't use absolutely all the colors of the rainbow to paint your apartment, at least you can check the images below to see what colors work together and what nuances should be left untouched.

111 Chairs Project

111 Chairs Project

A special thanks to DWR for inviting me to be a part of their 111 Navy Chairs project where I — along with 110 others — answered some questions about myself and made a few silly doodles, including one of me in my favorite chair — the Eames Lounge and Ottoman. You can check out all the doodles here as they go up a few each day until all 111 responses are live! It’s so fun to see everyone’s doodled self-portrait in their favorite chair!

Jewelry Studio, Art Gallery And Family Home

Jewelry-Studio-And-Family-Home1

CSAR Architecture transformed an existing building in the center of Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel, Netherlands, into a modern jewelry studio and art gallery on the ground floor and family home on the first and second floor.

Here is the project description:

An existing jewellery studio and art gallery in the centre of the village of Nieuwerkerk aan den IJssel has been transformed into a modern space which suits the art and jewellery. The family home, on the first and second floor, has been extended and modernized as well. A connection, on two levels, between the house and the garden house has been established which makes the garden house part of the house.

The owner makes her own jewellery, sometimes on demand. She also gives workshops in the studio and different artists can expose their art in the gallery.
The new display window of the gallery is adjusted to the scale of the jewellery. The window consists of several wooden boxes which each have their own lightning. Through the boxes there’s view on the street and the gallery, but at the same time it provides a feeling of privacy as it is not a complete glass façade.

The floor plan has been transformed. By adding the garden house to the existing house, as well as extending the house, CSAR was able to create an exiting new floor plan which had to deal with height differences, existing stairs and existing windows.

As a contrast to the boxes that stick into the façade on the ground floor, one big “box” sticks out of the façade on the first floor. The windows inside of it give a great view on the street from the living room. The inside is also being used as a place to sit on.
The whole exterior has been plastered to cover the different types of brickwork and damages. The new doors and windows in the back façade make sure there’s a lot of light in the house and a nice garden view.

The style of the interior is a modern basis with many build in elements combined with designer furniture, art and homemade elements.

Fade : The Modern Lounge Chair from Skram

The light and elegant "Fade Lounger" from Skram offers an entirely different look from every angle. Designer Jacob Marks gave the Fade Lounger a very thin profile and a contrasting bold front and rear visual and a lot of geometric shapes I probably can't name right off hand. The result is a very modern form that you have to look at more than once, the sign of great design. Featuring solid timber options and 7 coat hand polished oil varnish finish. 39w x 32d x 46h $3990 - $4509 US From 2modern

ENTRANCE Shop

entrance-shop1

SquareONE projected the interior for a shop in Bucharest named ENTRANCE.

Here is the project description:

The concept began by trying to transform a space of 200 sqm in an allegory. Imaginary animals that abide in a sureal forest, a refuge, a route. Thus it might sound pretenciuos, technical and formal achievement must remain simple, unsophisticated, a honest aproach to the conceptual design, not suported by pretentiose materials or sophisticated systems.

I tryed to use as little graphics or decorative elements as possible to illustrate the concept, functional objects must do that. The shape of those object should tell the story.

A peculiarity of this arrangement is the fact that none of the objects used were purchased. All items being manufactured under the project.

The shapes and positions of the objects in central space was designed so as to create several routes for equal exposure of the emblematic products.

These objects have resulted from a formal synthesis by illustrating a number of three animals in motion. Zoomorphic design and geometric shaping almost extreme minimal tried to minimize the decorative approach. the use of very sharp angles (most angles on vertical objects under 45 degrees), gave more dynamism in the composition of objects, seen from different angles, they can change appearance

I also preferred not close volumes for spatial geometry without spatiality, a kind of origami like 2D shell, which is in constant metamorphosis

I used the ceiling to illustrate the trees made of black electrical wires which is also the lighting system, ceiling grid was invaded by black wires tensioned using weights that disguises lamp socket. The Drawing of the electrical cables network creates the virtual habitat of the objects. A dynamic relation is created between the hanging branches of the light trees and the uprising vectors of each of the three objects

Dressing booths are like a refuge in the middle of a forest. Suggesting a sort of “glazing” to the rest of space, a media interface, composed of LCD screens, is placed on the exterior wall of the cabins.

To display accessories and jewelry we created rectangular prismatic objects at different heights which seam to emerge from the floor surface in various areas with apparently random positioning.

Materials used were simple and inexpensive as can be. Furniture items are made from MDF polyurethane painted supported by light metal structures made of very thin sections (4mm diameter), whose stiffness comes from the way the structure geometry is closed.
Two of the objects have a recessed translucent membrane in one of the vertical planes, in order to spread light on the exposing surface

The light trees are made from black electrical cable, energy saving light bulbs, cable clamps. The Weights which masks the light bulb sockets and tensions the cables, are made of painted metal pipe segments in black electrostatic paint. Objects displaying accessories are made of black and transparent Plexiglas.

A TreeHouse for Grown Ups by Rockefeller Partner Architects

Sometimes you just need to get away from the rest of the family and the Banyan Tree House from Rockefeller Partner Architects comprised of Rocky Rockefeller, Christopher Kempel, and Brian Pera offers a nice sanctuary and a modern interpretation of a place we used to play as kids. Like most tree houses the Banyan features its share of wood interior and exterior appointments and nice open views and natural lighting with its well placed windows. This cozy setting makes the best of the 170 square foot floor plan and gives a sense of a much larger space thanks to the tall ceilings and smaller scale furniture. See more of the simply stunning residential architecture from Rockefeller Partner Architects Here. Via Contemporist
