Multifunctional furniture has been the desire of many designers and manufacturers, but few have succeeded in what Unamu, a company from Spain, has achieved. Idea leader Humberto Navarro, who acquired his design skills and knowledge all over the world, has always wanted to make modular furniture. He poured his passion into the Unamo brand, whose main collections are 3Moods and Essenza. We present you the first.
Stairs are such an everyday and common architectural element that we rarely really pay attention to them. When we expand our thinking framework, however, we soon realize that the purpose of stairs can be much richer than we are used to. In the article below you can see staircases like a dream - a collection of photos of the most beautiful, most unusual and most creative staircases.
The island of Providenciales, which is located in the Caribbean archipelago, is considered one of the most beautiful, as it is surrounded by turquoise seas and white, sandy beaches. The climate is almost perfect, with an average temperature between 27 and 29 degrees Celsius from November to May, making the island especially popular in winter. And as befits such a paradise on earth, a paradise fairy also stands on it. Are you tempted? Well, even though it's a sinfully expensive 'house', we can still take a peek inside.
Cape Town Tree House is the most unusual tree house. It is designed in harmony with the surroundings and placed in a very strategic position to offer visitors wonderful views. If there is a paradise on earth, it is surely in the Cape Town tree house.
Cities are changing their image mainly due to the ever-increasing number of inhabitants. Urban planners thus have their hands full, as the infrastructure must be constantly adapted to the needs of the times. Those best dogs try to be even one step ahead of him. Larger cities with rivers running through them have an added challenge, bridges. Bridges connect banks, we also like to attribute symbolic value to them. But in cities they also have to "open the door" to river traffic. Let's take a look at 10 stunning drawbridges.
Denny R. Priyatna is an Indonesian designer who prefers to explore the connection between the human and the inanimate. He plays with different materials and techniques all the time, creating new things. Always with a concept. This time he tackled furniture. Maybe the collection will seem "over the edge" to some, but it doesn't know any other way. Furniture that shows the imperfections of the human body is absolutely fantastic. Or cringe-inducing.
If your path ever takes you to the French countryside around Bordeaux and you travel with your thumb up, pay attention to the wooden pavilions "stuck" on wooden pillars. These are your lodgings. The water tower-like bivouacs are available for free and are just what hitchhikers and hikers need after a long day.

Even the sparrows on the roof are chirping that lack of physical activity leads to doom. Maybe not quite as dramatically, but it definitely hurts us seriously. Professions that require us to sit or stand still are increasingly under fire, especially from the medical profession. Many companies allow their employees to regularly exercise for a few minutes during the working day, because they realize that a healthy employee is the best investment.
We blame ourselves for losing touch with nature. That we cut down the forests, neglect the rivers, do not cultivate the land and pollute the air. They say that nature will take its revenge on us. Let's (p)remain optimistic! There are more and more initiatives for living with nature. We seem to be re-learning what a relationship can bring us and how important it is for the generations after us. Mette Helbaek and Flemming Hansen share the same opinion, having created a permaculture farm in the south of Sweden, where you can reconnect with nature and find inner peace.
We love recycled. Just because of the good feeling, because we contribute to a cleaner environment. After all, such things also look great, especially furniture. What about plastic, do we like it? If the answer to some is no, that may change now. The Dutch designer Ulrike Jurklies found a way to make a tea table out of recycled plastic.
