Ingo Maurer, designer allemand a présenté son concept baptisé Floating Table durant la dernière Milan Design Week 2013, une véritable installation jouant sur l’illusion d’une table sans pied.
En effet, quatre chaises de bois noir soigneusement agencées et légèrement glissées sous la table viennent soutenir le plateau grâce à un accoudoir allongé et fixé.
La pièce est disponible avec un plateau rond ou carré, de quoi surprendre et intriguer vos convives…
Ingo Maurer, certainement le designer avec le plus d’ancienneté et d’expérience présenté sur le blog, né en 1932, à près de 80 ans il étonne et continu de se remettre en question.

The home features wood paneled walls with a large sliding barn door, natural stone floors and dark obsidian colored interior stone facades. Large skylights bring...

Beautiful furniture design can really add dimension to a space, and this especially rings true when no two pieces are alike. Incorporated Studio took it upon themselves to reuse Csaesarstone scraps for a truly unique table design.
By taking multiple pieces of the unused blocks and cutting them with water jets, the thin layered pieces of stone are theoretically able to be laminated into sheets. Each sheet would then be turned to a leg and assembled in a double X shape base. These completely creative...

Belgian designers and architects Dethier added an amazing and illustrious metallic pod to the interior of this former bakery turned loft in Liége. The ‘Kempart Loft’ is a beautiful and open space that features whites, light wood and open window views. The otherwise entirely open plan ended up being partitioned off by this new structure within the home, and the result is almost surreal.
It may look like an airstream trailer landed smack dab in the center of this living space, and essentially–...

Do It Birdhouse by Sweden-based designer Marcin Pogorzelski is a unique bird architecture based on a traditional form which is best for both birds and human. It comes in a flat pack containing wooden pieces and pegs, metal part and rope with a tied knot. You can assemble the birdhouse in minutes and place on a tree or wall. From the designers, “This nestbox was designed with a purpose to provide the best living space for a small bird. After a very long research about the material to assure the most similar conditions to natural habitat, we found out, that a pure wood is the best solution. We not only used a pure wood to built DO IT_birdhouse, but also didn’t let to ruin the natural effect by eliminating chemicals which may have dangerous influence on a bird. Which means that a bird will have a breathable, insulated, water-resistant and fumeless living space. In case of a bird predator attack we included a special metal part around the nestbox “entrance”. While designing process we payed attention on a tree safety by exploring new hanging system using climbing rope. Our DO IT flat-pack contains climbing rope with a tied knot ready [...]
