L'Arbre de Flonville

"Taking the general notion of a standard public space as a starting point, we considered how we could create a space of familiarity whilst still dynamic and engaging".

Beautiful work of architecture/design that revitalized an area very beautifully.

Bubblicious!

Designer's words: "A bowl comprised of varying volumes of spheres, to place fruit of different sizes, in a way that enables to position the object in a new equilibrium each time, due to the change in the center of gravity".

I like this object quite a lot. It allows you to display fruits in a fashiony way. I guess I will use it more as a piece of art on the table since usually I buy too many fruits and never eat them all...!

Useful + Agreeable House!

"Useful + Agreeable (U+A) based in Vancouver, are one of the most informed web-tv based sites that focus on travel, leisure, and contemporary design. U+A and NMDA have joined forces to offer predesigned houses to a growing market of design conscious consumers who wish to have their houses as well designed as the products that surround them in contemporary life. To begin the process, NMDA has designed a concept project based on verticality, minimum footprint, and the aspiration to prefabricate major components of the house off-site".

ESCAPsulE!

"Teenagers typically yearn for solitary time to contemplate their experiences and figure out who they are. The ESCAPsulE provides a private space for that journey, a space to mould an identity. Within the chair the teenager seeks refuge and discovers calm. They are hidden from the outside world while discovering and creating their own world in a contained space. The chair itself features inner pockets to hide personals and a flip down desktop to hold a laptop. The design combines a retro style beanbag interior, with a buff, smooth roto-moulded polyethylene exterior. It moulds together material and aesthetic trends from the past and the present in sync with teenage fashion".

Topography Plates!

There is absolutely no doubt, in my mind, that food is art. Food itself, when cooked and presented in a certain way is not that different from a piece of art, a painting or a sculpture. Only if I think of Ferran Adrià, an excellent cook specialized in "culinary foam", art is what comes to my mind.

Obviously presentation in food is essential. And presenting food in these plates will certainly make the difference!

Providence!

"I wanted to make a form which creates a physical conversation between the people using it and the form itself. The structure is incredibly strong and lightweight (for its size)."

I love this seating called Providence entirely made of steam-bent White Oak. I am not sure if I should consider it as a piece of furniture or a wonderful work of art! I guess it is both!
