While the lobby usually only serves one purpose, that is, to provide an introductory zone into the company’s office, architecture and interior design studio NOA is making a case for turning it into a multifunctional space for both employees and visitors. It recently moved its headquarters to Bolzano, Italy, as more than a decade of growth necessitated more space for its employees, visiting clients, growing material library, and showcase of prototypes and models. Employing a chameleonic strategy in designing the 1000-square-meter floor plan, NOA created a highly adaptable workplace environment ..read more

Affliction, exploration, or exercise – no matter what it feels like, acting upon creativity is an awesome responsibility and a significant labor of love. And for design in particular, there’s something intangible about the iterative process that imbues work with personal meaning. One such assemblage embodying this concept of making is the Echo Collection by multi-hyphenate interior designer Kelly Wearstler. Comprising tables, benches, stools, and sculptures, each furnishing appears to resonate with repetitive organic shapes in celebration of a prolific architectural form – the arch.

Watches have always been as much about fashion as they are about keeping time, but what makes the Swatch a particularly iconic device is the company’s emphasis on the “fun” in “functional.” Their commitment to expressive products is best represented in their artist series collaborations. Starting in 1985 Swatch began using their timepieces as the world’s smallest canvas, with their first Swatch Art Special launching with the work of artist Kiki Picasso. Subsequent collections would invite luminaries of art and design such as Keith Haring, Nam June Paik, Renzo Piano, and others to embellish Sw ..read more

Love is all around us. It can even be found in the form of “love locks” that have been secured to bridges around the world by couples as a declaration of their commitment. (And subsequently removed for adding too much weight to the structures.) The 4E coffee table – designed by Adrián M. Almonacid,  founder of his Valencia-based creative practice Cuatro Cuatros – takes the idea of affection, a binding force that unites us together in myriad ways, and elevates it into a unique contemporary visual love language. The object’s concept grabs hold of the meaningful love lock symbolism – each o ..read more

Eva Schildt’s Gardener’s Sofa has the potential to become part of the greenery itself – wildflowers and vining plants find the lattice-like double-coated steel structure irresistible! The no-maintenance, ergonomic seating, designed for Design House Stockholm, quite literally becomes part of its surroundings in the form of a functional, growth-covered sculpture when left to nature’s will. The outdoor sofa’s conception came long before we realized the deep connection we have with nature and the appreciation we gained for it during the pandemic. Schildt’s design impetus goes back to her time sp ..read more

Life imitates art in the brilliant interiors for the Holboro House by Los Angeles-based multidisciplinary design firm Another Human. Helmed by principal Leah Ring, the studio’s distinct approach – and penchant for spaces saturated in pigment – helps homeowners unlock their potential for personal expression echoed through interior finishes and home furnishings. Ring’s recent solution for a couple’s 1990s postmodern home in Los Feliz, California, forgoes a full renovation of the 4,000-square-foot residence and instead relies on high-impact changes to specific areas that produce a significant ar ..read more

The expression “entry point” can sometimes feel dirty as if to imply affordability often comes at the expense of quality, performance, and design.

Thankfully, audio manufacturers like Bowers & Wilkins have taken note that there is an opportunity with younger music enthusiasts looking to get themselves a step up with systems from simple wireless options to more robust audio speakers and components. These customers tend to be music lovers who’ve been wooed back by the joys of nostalgic media and ..read more

by Vy Yang
2d ago
The word deformation may have a slight negative connotation to it, but by definition it simply means to distort the shape or form of something. As a designer and artist, Tim Teven takes a hands-on approach to his work, trialing with different techniques and mechanical actions to misshape metal and push the boundaries of its materiality. Using sheets and tubes of metal, he has discovered new ways to work with the material and its properties, which has recently resulted in the Tube Collection.
