Hanging Lamps like "flying saucers from 1970s? science fiction"
2007-07-20 17:48:00
?Blow Up? is a series of swinginglamps reminiscent of great big dropsof mercury with a chrome, gold,black or white surface.Domus compares them with "flying saucers from 1970s? science fiction", but for me Blow-Up hanging lamps seem elegant and modern with their soft and ethereal design. They are light and airy, floating intheir space, and when they are litpart of their surface becomestransparent, emitting a beam of lightto illuminate the area below.Ø 70 cm, 100 cm, 140 cm, 180 cmdesign: Patrick Jouin forSerralunga Technorati Tags:design, interior design, news

It appears that this is a relation that has started long ago and now is probably at its peak. May be the saturation of the interior design market makes companies and designers search help in fashion?Here are some other obvious links between them: have a look at this photo from the set design of "The Devil Wears Prada"! The Black-and-White theme in the sofa upholstery is from Quadrille fabric and at 485 Fifth Avenue, the fashion designer Peter Som lent his name and a pattern from one of his spring dresses.

2007-06-10 08:41:00
Consumers crave an outdoor kitchen and living area on par according to Kitchen & Bath Design News'. Outdoor kitchen full of high-tech cooking appliances that allow not only grilling prowess, but also the possibility to smoke meats, make pizza or slow-roast a chicken on a rotisserie are the growing new trend. They include the space to store the same foods, spices, pots, pans and utensils we have inside our homes in that outdoor space, as well as beverages that come from a complete beverage center and wine chiller, not a mere plastic cooler.Technorati Tags:trends, trendspotting, design, furniture, interior design, news

Forget oh-so-tasteful beige and browns, colour is a must
2007-06-05 19:36:00
I like very much this new trend spotted by LifeSigns Network at Milan. This is so my taste."Colour was being used to inject a fresh new look to many collections, withdesigners being unafraid to use such loud tones to stand out against the sea ofneutrals being produced by the mainstream furniture makers."It was high time to get out of this long ruling neutral colour scheme and bring some real life into our interiors.Technorati Tags:trends, trendspotting,design, furniture, interior design, news,eventsinterior

2007-05-31 12:11:00
"This summer, Swarovski Crystal Palace chandeliers will share the limelight withstars George Clooney, Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Andy Garcia, and Don Cheadle" - this is how a short article in Interior Design magazine about the new "Ocean ?s Thirteen " starts.The new film was shot on a lavish set built on Warner Bros.' biggest soundstage. Set designer Kristen Messina selected crystals from the Swarovski Crystal Palace collection for two scenes: Cascade by Vincent Van Dyson will furnish the ?Diamond Viewing Room? and Blossom chandeliers by Tord Boontje will add glam to a hotel suite dinning room. The last one is in the photo above, taken from Clooney Project Gallery (tons of George Cloony photos in various company and mood :).I am very curious to see the movie and the set design itself.

KOHLER - New Inspiring Bathroom Designs
2007-05-25 10:17:00
Kohler have announced their new inspiring bathroom designs with interesting innovative technologies. This one is my favourate:with gentle, flowing lines, the Fountainhead Collection evokes a clean, modern aesthetic that creates a sense of serenity. Two distinctive wood finish options for the vanity allow for design personalization within this complete grooming space. But I wonder: does this image suggest that the elegant new collection is intended for a ceratin age group? :)Even so, its design quality is unquestionable. What is also interesting here is the Fountainhead K-2432-F34 wall cabinet with faucet, also the FountainheadK-2435-F35 petite vanity and K-2440-F35 shelf with faucet in Truffle Ash The Fountainhead showering components invite you to enjoy luxurious water delivery, the option of steam, and music to enhance your experience ? all through innovative KOHLER technologies.

Urquiola's New Bergère - Légere Seating System
2007-04-30 20:49:00
I like the new "Bergère ? Légère"seating system designed by Patricia Urquiola for De Padova, especially the elegant sofa in white quilted upholstery (below). "The "Bergère" with pouf is inspired by the forms of tradition: it is a padded armchair with a varnished metal base andupholstered in removable fabric. "Légère" low armchair, with a simplified leg and a singleposition for the back, suited to ether the home or the contract sector, and a sofa, the "Sofa Berger" in a high-backed version and the low-backed "Sofa Léger", both with lower back support cushion and metal feet.The range of upholstery for the whole system offers floral weaves, circular quilted material, a version in undecorated material and leather.The products are fully fitted with zips for removable upholstery, a tribute to the teaching of Vico Magistretti, with whom Patricia worked for many years. from De Padova site

Home Furnishings Begin to Change Attire
2007-04-30 14:43:00
It appears to be the new fashion in interior design: home furnishings begin to change their attire according to the mood of their owner: Antoinette, table lamp with a slender metal structure, inspired by tailor?s mannequins, is completely covered in patterned stretch fabric that slips off easily allowing vain Antoinette to change her look often. Design:Ilaria Gibertini e Miriam Mirrivia Pan-Dan But it was Marcel Wanders who introduced this fashion in home furniture with the Moooi Boutique concept shown for the 1st time at Milan Firniture Fair 2006 and launched this January - ?naked? Moooi sofa system that one playfully dresses (and undresses) with 20 sofa outfits, unique designs custom-made for Moooi Technorati Tags:trends, trendspotting, design, furniture, interior design, news,

Milan 2007 - the Trends: Giant Sculpture Items, Covers as the New Stars
2007-04-22 22:05:00
Following most of the publications about Milan Furniture Fair one can notice an increased interest among designers and companies in pieces that are ?neither purely commodity nor purely art but dwell in an uneasy zone between object and objet d?art" as Murray Moss, owner of the New York store-cum-gallery describes the ?Home? collection by Studio Job presented in Milan at Via Tortona . Right - one of the seven ?domestic totems and tableux? in bronze, glass and wood, each available in an edition of only five. But I like more the ?Silver Ware' installation this Dutch design duo made for the Italian mosaic company Bisazza. "Visually seductive, richly symbolic and unapologetically impractical, their worktypifies the currently cool neo-Surrealist style of design. It is inspired bythe mid-20th-century fantasies of Piero Fornasetti and the postmodernist kitschof Studio Alchymia and Memphis, but is articulated in the crisply fluid visuallanguage of advanced design software." according to Ali...

2007-04-19 07:34:00
Salone Satellite , an event that occurs in conjunction with Salone Internazi­onale del Mobile in Milan , one of the most important platforms for young designers, this April celebrates its tenth year. Metropolis shows some of examples of "a promising crop of newcomers for 2007".London-based designerTimothy Schreiber's digitally designed Pan_07 Chair is inspired by bone structure and is produced from a single material with the help of rapid-prototyping technology. This is a method wich "opens the gate to concepts that were previously unmanufacturable,? says Schreiber, who describes his style as ??Pop-Modern ism.? And this one is my favourate: Ray Chaise by Stuttgart-based Simone Hoedle and Christoph Voelcker from D.sign21. Made of fiberglass and upholstered leather it incorporates loudspeakers, allowing you to plug in your iPod, sit back, and listen to your favorite music.

Lace Patterns Continue to be Hot in Milan
2007-04-11 13:49:00
My favourate LACE trend in interior design in general and especially in furniture from the last two years is obviously loved by many designers (and consumers): lace patterns seem to continue to be one of the important themes during this coming Mila n Furniture Fair, too. Have a look at the new elegant MISS chair that Ph. Stark designed for Driade:Miss LACY (above) which, according to me, is much more beautiful than her predecessors from this series.A similar mood creates the delicate pattern of the Light Shadows Lamp by Ingegerd Råman for OrreforsAnd the flowers theme:Ron Arad shows again (as usually) a fresh approach to chair design with his new Clover for Driade: You can see The last 26 previews untill Milan at the site of Frame MagazineTechnorati Tags:trends, trendspotting, design, furniture, interior design, news, events
