Ukrainian artist Anna Mo weaves mighty knits with giant wooden knitting needles that look like they were made for giants. Beautiful, thickly knitted blankets offer soft comfort in which to get lost without worry. In addition to bedspreads for the home, which instantly brighten up the look of the bedroom, living room and children's room, Anna also knits other knitwear, such as hats, scarves and sweaters.
The Serbian architecture office Salt & Water designed a floating hotel that offers a superb vacation opportunity with a wonderful view of the surrounding nature.
The Slovenian SipSup glass is the first social glass in the world, as it connects to a smartphone and serves us memories in addition to a drink. Miha Petek, Anže Volovšek and Aleš Perme are behind the project of the interactive glass, and the glasses themselves are made in Steklarna Hrastnik and are not only technologically sophisticated, but also of high quality. The success of the Kickstarter campaign, where SipSup will raise startup funds for 42 days, seems imminent.
The Lofoten Opera Hotel will not be an ordinary hotel. Because not only will it lie in a magnificent location in Norway, where the Atlantic and high mountains meet (in an area called Glåpen near Lofoten), but with its serpentine shape it will be a unique attraction that will complement and emphasize both the beauty and the harshness of nature . The authors at the Snøhetta company imagined the hotel wedged between the mountains and the ocean as a golden snake resting in living rock.
Object Light are beautiful lamps for the home with a Croatian signature. Lamps with geometric shapes emit subtle light and are the ideal choice for anyone who loves clean, fresh and minimalist.
On the shores of Lake Travis in Austin (Texas) stands the idyllic Tower House, designed by Andersson-Wise Architects. The house strongly stands out from its peers, as it is high and not walled with stone but covered with wood. Because of this, it just blends in with its surroundings. It was built with the aim of adding a living space to one of the mentioned huts. And a three-story building has grown up, whose wooden "facade" complements the surrounding stones beautifully and just begs you to climb to the top and admire the view of the lake.
Parisian design that shows an extraordinary love for geometry and minimalism is "Creation", the new furniture line of the French design studio Nova Obiecta.
There are more and more devices with which we communicate through a wide variety of applications. The Internet of Things has also spread to homes, but each device receives commands only from a specific application, which means that we accumulate a list of them, which lengthens the process. The Cube device keeps interaction to a minimum. Namely, it is an interface for a smart home, with which we control various devices by touching, lifting, tilting and turning.
Spanish designer Jaime Hayon has prepared sports-colored furniture for the Game On exhibition in London's Kreo gallery, for which he drew inspiration from various sports disciplines such as athletics, sledding, gymnastics, pink punk, basketball, etc. Thus, a mirror is a table tennis racket, a bed is a sled, and a basketball is a coffee table. Probably the most playful furniture of the moment.
For every chair, the desk grows, except that with the PersonLloyd sixE office chair, the desk is an integral part of the chair. It also offers a storage surface with a holder for a smartphone or tablet, but this is far from all that this Swiss army knife offers among office chairs, as it has a lot of other useful features. Today, when the rules regarding business space are becoming more and more relaxed, this type of work environment is ideal, because you have everything at hand, but at the same time you are not so spatially limited.
If simplicity is the key to happiness, then Toybox Home is the epitome of that philosophy. It is a cute house on wheels that offers everything a warm home needs in 13 square meters. The tiny home, which stands on wheels instead of a foundation, is the work of Frank Henderson and Paul Schultz. It consists of a living room of 6 square meters, a bathroom of just under two square meters and a "loft" of almost 4 square meters, while the kitchen and dining room are both work areas. Because less is more.
