This table is part of a project that continues the limited edition trend that emerged in the last couple of years.Hella Jongerius celebrates the sculptural quality of design in her latest products, artificial flowers and animal tables, which will be shown in Gallery Kreo in Paris, April 2009. Jongerius has become known for the way she explores the possibilities and boundaries of both handicraft and industrial techniques and subsequently stretches them beyond the already known.

To be or not to be....or...to hire or not to hire an interior designer
2009-03-27 19:19:00 Design Versus Decoration - this is a debate of long standing and still continuing. It was the theme of one of my first posts here in this blog in October 2005. So much time has passed and it seems that the profession of interior designer needs still to be explained. "In my experience the profession of ?interior designer? is all too frequently misunderstood or misinterpreted and often confused with interior decoration. ?Oh, you must come and help me choose my curtains!?""Interior design is a service profession. It revolves around the client and his requirements, not the designer and his creations (only few ever reach that status!)."The quotes are from a great article, written by a fellow colleague Paromita Sanatani, BA Hons Three Dimensional (Interior) Design, which describes perfectly in Nuts and bolts (The portal for expats and foreigners living in Bulgaria) all the problems and difficulties we meet as interior designers:"The thought of creating a space that is a practical and...

Shoe Shop Like Cosy, Comfortable Bedrooms
2009-03-27 09:46:00 Sophistication, exquisiteness, elegance and tradition radiates from this special store in Milan. Gianvito Rossi - the son of legendary Italian shoe designer Sergio Rossi decided to create his own brand in 2006, and this past year he´s been working on creating an impeccable look in his Milan and Paris stores.The designer who created this space is my favorite contemporary female designer Patricia Urquiola. She wanted to make it look like cosy, comfortable bedrooms. She combined classic elements with contemporary ones. Luxury radiates from the materials, from the terracotta to the marble.Urquiola aimed to make customers feel comfortable rather than creating the familiar sales-driven visual merchandising. There is a velvet bookshelf in one of the main bedrooms to hold their most important shoe models. .adHeadline {font: bold 10pt Arial; text-decoration: underline; color: #66B5FF;} .adText {font: normal 10pt Arial; text-decoration: none; color: #800040;}try{var AdBrite_Iframe=window...

Green Design
2009-03-22 14:40:00 Design is getting greener and greener. And I like it - this is the better way to live healthy life. When we think green still in the design phase of each product then we shall need less investments to fight with trash or existing problems.One way to live better is to introduce nature inside our homes. A great idea is this unique lamp designed by Laura Fiaschi and Gabriele Pardi (Gumdesign) for Tredicidesign. Lit with a Floraset bulb, produced by Osram and developed to stimulate the growth of house plants, the plants and flowers are in small Murano glass vases while the structure is in metal. .adHeadline {font: bold 10pt Arial; text-decoration: underline; color: #66B5FF;} .adText {font: normal 10pt Arial; text-decoration: none; color: #800040;}source DOMUSBut it appears that some simple steps can considerably improve the quality of our lives.

Milan 2009: Patricia Urquiola for Moroso
2009-03-19 10:32:00 MoCo Loco have published the new designs of Patricia Urquiola for Moroso that will be launched at Milan Design Week this April. I have been expecting her new products - she is the designer who records the best achievements there each year. She is also my favourite designer and I have been following every product she has created.As always Urquiola has the most clever practical approach - in hard times we do return to classics and established values. And what better values than the century old folk art? A revival of interest in eastern European folk art began last year and I expect that her Fergana collection will be a great success.The other her new projects - Aden Sofa & Rift Armchair, at least in the way they look as color drawings at the moment - do not impress me.From all these the Fergana sofa - top - is the one that best combines the beauty of folklore elements with modern design.

More "Recession-Friendly" Design Ideas
2009-03-14 17:41:00 It is interesting to observe what reactions economic crisis provokes in our way of thinking and what designers' solutions appear. In one of her latest interviews trend forecaster Li Edelkoort is convinced that "creativity will help us emerge": "Design will always be able to find new scenarios. Once you?re creative you?re not afraid, you will always be able to make something out of nothing, improvise, find solutions."I began posting about recession-friendly design and think that it will be definitely a trend of the near future.

The Relief Chair and Fashioning Felt
2009-03-12 10:15:00 I have been posting a lot about felt lately - felt is my personal discovery as a material for furniture and other unusual products such as jewelry or lighting, but The Relief Chair by Brooklyn-based Mickus Projects in addition to being visually impressive and very elegant is a great idea from technological point of view - digital fabrication is applied to craft a complete piece of furniture without the use of upholstery, foam, or toxic finishes. Instead, dense wool felt composes the seat and back, carved into gentle ridges. The Relief Chair is part of a collection called solid/surface/series, which includes several other pieces of furniture experimenting with the same material reportsDwell magazineRelief Chair is featured in Fashioning Felt exhibition opened last week and running through September 7, 2009 at the Cooper Hewitt Design Museum. .adHeadline {font: bold 10pt Arial; text-decoration: underline; color: #66B5FF;} .adText {font: normal 10pt Arial; text-decoration: none; c...
"Recession-Friendly" Design
2009-03-09 19:31:00 Good design does not always have to equate high price tags. In hard times like these even the Oscars are taking a recession-friendly approach with absence of the over-the-top, couture designs that usually shine on the carpet. Design can also change the pathway of spendings by introducing "recession-friendly" alternatives. A lot of interesting designs appear when we change our attitude.Have a look at the 'More' cardboard elements by Giorgio Caporaso that are going to be launched at the Milan Design Week this April - aren't they useful and elegant and Recession -Friendly Design?Or this tubesqueezer at right?

Milk stool - a Sign of New Trend?
2009-03-08 11:00:00 David Report blog shows another new product that is going to be part of the Milan Furniture Fair 2009 - the Milk stool by Swedish designer Staffan Holm. What impressed me most is his interest in making design that focuses on emotional sustainability rather than practical function - i.e. the possibilities of making design that becomes precious for people and makes us want to keep it for future generations. I think that this could be a new trend in design - to empower people to improve their quality of living not only via physical, economic and environmental sustainability, but also through emotional sustainability. .adHeadline {font: bold 10pt Arial; text-decoration: underline; color: #66B5FF;} .adText {font: normal 10pt Arial; text-decoration: none; color: #800040;}Or - time has come again when we are beginning to value good craftsmanship, exquisite details implementation and natural materials.

Great design for the sustainability-minded
2009-03-07 17:28:00 Aren't they elegant? These reclaimed-wood Iconic Panels are ideal for retail settings, hotel interiors, and temporary installations such as trade-show exhibitions, but also make a great accent wall for residential furnishing, too. They not only utilize lumber salvaged from olive-barrel staves, razed gym bleachers, and blighted buildings, but also their producers B+N use low-VOC varnishes and water-based glues that don?t contain formaldehyde.

What Recession? Christie's $28 Million Chair
2009-02-28 15:01:00 "'There are still a lot of extremely wealthy people out there." - obviously, since someone would pay $28 million for a leather armchair. The sale was about $25 million higher than the Christie's estimate and set a record for a work of 20th-century design at auction. These words are of Edward Dolman, Christie's managing director.It was bought by Cheska Vallois, owner of the Paris gallery Vallois, which had originally sold the chair to Saint Laurent. Created in 1917, or slightly later, by Eileen Gray, an Irish architect and furniture designer, for her first commission as an interior decorator. With lacquered wooden armrests shaped like braided serpents, it shows her in transition from art nouveau to art deco.I like her designs, but still this is unbelievable! "She's always been a darling of design curators and collectors because she was a woman competing in a men's world, and because as a one-of-a kind object it would be perceived as art," explains William L.

Radiators as Sculptures
2009-02-17 22:28:00 About 3 years ago I discovered a new fashion - radiators becoming a filed for sculptural exercises for designers . Then they began to get multifunctional and more and more new inspirational designs appeared. And from mundane heating appliance suddenly radiators are transformed into visually intriguing sculptures and elements of interior architecture that can stand on their own. That is the theme explored by exhibition curated by designer Karim Rashid titled "Totally Rad: Karim Rashid Does Radiators" which will open on March 4 at the New York's Museum of Arts and Design. Great idea!And what is even more interesting - the show also inaugurates the museum's Design and Innovation Gallery, a second-floor space that will house short-term, guest curated exhibitions examining emerging trends in design. on the pictures: Caleido's Rain, 2007; Caleido's Honey, 2006(via Interior Design) google_ad_client = "pub-7653206195145410";google_ad_width = 180; google_ad_height = 90;google_ad_format =...

Built from 1888 to 1894 for the financier Wilhelm Carl von Rothschild, Villa Rothschild was recently awarded the coveted five-star superior status due in no small part to points earned for the bespoke golden coloured Bang & Olufsen products installed in the guest rooms as well as in the common and recreational areas."I chose Bang & Olufsen for the AV-installation at the completely renovated Villa Rothschild as the company is world renowned for the exquisite quality and beauty of its products," said Bernhard L.
