Milan Preview 1
2008-03-17 12:09:00 Frame Magazine has published a series of 6 up to now previews of the Milan Furniture Fair 2008. One of the most ionteresting new products seems to be the new chair Her by Fabio Novembre. As they say,Fabio Novembre once more shows his obsession for the female body. Yet there is amale version on its way, called Him. Her is made from polyethylene, available inblack and white and suitable for in- and outdoors.But this is also another project that accents on the trend for a dissipating border between in and out - a number of interesting furniture collections that are equally comfortable and elegant to serve us both - at the veranda and in our living rooms. It was last year's B & B Cansta collection by Urquiola that seems to have started it, although Urquiola made aslo the Maia collection, designed exclusively for Kettal.Another new product suitable for both in- and outdoors:This multifunctional stool SOS by Josh Owenis made from polyethylene, available in black, white, blue, light b...

Limited Edition - the New Trend
2008-03-13 19:22:00 With the border line between art and design fast dissipating more and more companies are beginning to produce limited editions of exclusive design furniture and galleries are investing in these as in art. We remember that happened last April in Milan and another good example are the Amanda Levets's fluid forms in her recent exhibition ?Around the Corner? . I like this trend - I like the idea of collecting practical art - something that inspires you along with serving you well!One great example of such 'practical art' are the whimisical, yet luxurious creations from the Portugal furniture company Boca Do Lobo, each limited to a production of only 20 pieces: Forest SideboardMondrianTrinityBelow are the latest models - they are a new development of the existing model Pearls, but with new finishes and are a pre-view of their new collection "Coolors" - Passion Furniture.http://www.bocadolobo.com/Techn orati Tags:trends, trendspotting,design, furniture,interior design, news,eventshome f...

2008-02-17 11:18:00 If we have to consider what the design of 21st century is going to look like, I think that one of its faces is going to be like Amanda Levets's fluid forms. "The first lady of Future Systems", as Wallpaper presents her, is featuring four limited edition pieces in ?Around the Corner? -Levete?s first solo exhibition, presented by Established & Sons LIMITED, for whom she?s previously designed two of the company?s best-selling products, the Chester sofa and Drift series. North Each piece has been made from a different material : ?North? is a console in neon fibreglass, ?East? - a corner table or desk, carved from a single piece of black marble, ?South? - a set of two shelves in Corian and, my favourate, ?West? is an elegant bench made from laminated wood.

2008-01-13 16:28:00 What is different this year? There will be no Ideal House project.Instead of zooming the future into the "Ideal House" in the present, such as the German Design Council has tried to achieve in recent years (which in my opinion was more a scene for expressing a certain designer's ideas), now visitors will have the possibility to learn more about a partner country and its design in international context. The 2008 choice is Duch design.Zanotta is one of the very few major corporations to present novelties at the imm cologne.

The Face of Interior Design 2008 - Trends
2008-01-01 21:34:00 Happy New Year! What will it bring to interior design? There is an abundancy of trendspotting and forecasting articles and many of them contain some common trends - like the announced earlier by Pantone Blue Iris for color of 2008 , (Pantone's Color of the Year Is... - New York Times), now added is the yellow featured by International Team of colour experts at ICI Paints as part of the 2008/2009 themes. "These are not the colors the design industry is telling you to use, these are the colors the design industry thinks you subconsciously want to use," writes Susan Fornoff, Chronicle Staff WriterI think that trends are just floating in the air and it is the creative people like artists and designers that first sense them. Then they incorporate these into their works. What the agencies are doing, is just to report what they have found (or to try to influence the public).

Eco-friendly washing machine wins Electrolux award
2007-12-04 15:24:00 Have you heard of "natural soap nuts"? It appears that in India and Nepal, people have used the soap nut (sapindus mucorossi) for centuries to clean their clothes. Hungarian Levente Szabo, inventor of E-wash ? a compact washing machine that uses natural soap nuts instead of detergent ? has won this year?s international Electrolux Design Lab 2007 award. His design was described as ?a brilliant connection between ancient knowledge and high technology? by judges of the prestigious competition. Szabó says that a kilogram of soap nuts would last the typical person a year, and soap nuts are good for people with allergies and gentle on clothes. But I am wondering - how many kilos can be supplied for all the people from all the countries that will buy "E-wash"? I suppose that many people like me will wish to have it at home.Design Lab 07 is the fifth annual awards event, which encourages the design of eco-friendly and sustainable household appliances.via Inside Retailing google_ad_client =...

Good Design for Children
2007-11-21 11:52:00 It is not only that children deserve good design, but also we should always have in mind that what surrounds them creates their taste and esthetics for their life on. We all have certain memories and images that define our attitudes in life and influence our choices that have their roots in childhood. I have learnt that from experience with clients. So we should be very careful what we choose for their rooms. Safety is the other major factor to consider - if you like the appearance of something, but it has sharp corners or is made of materials that are not known or not sertified for low or no volatile emissions - better not buy them.I intend to post often my findings for children rooms or well designed objects for kids - come visit my blog.6-Drawer Storage Unit: Everything from pencils to cosmetics is kept neatly in its place.

Update Your Hardware
2007-11-03 11:19:00 Bath and kitchen faucets get used every day, all the day. So to install something that pleases you and creates the right statement is important for how one feels at home - both from functional and esthetic point of view. Have a look at some new products that you may find useful. What I find is a confirmation of a distinct trend for deeper, more matte finishes. Clients begin to prefer tarnished or burnished metals instead of the expected chrome or stainless steel, which brings a cozier style to their homes. According to BHG.com (Better Homes and Gardens) pull-out faucets are popular for their function, and Moen's Medora Black Pullout Kitchen Faucet adds a matte black finish that accents dark granite or quartz countertops. The sleek silhouette includes single-handle control of temperature and three flow patterns: stream, rinse, and veggie spray -- plus, a handy pause button.AmericanStandard's Jasmine Single-Control Kitchen Faucet (above) comes with EverClean Exclusive Patented Fini...
