Comfortable Nest for Small Spaces

by Alina, posted in Sofa and Chair, on July 21st, 2011

Small spaces must have a certain arrangement and a certain kind of furniture in order to save as much place as possible. One of the pieces of furniture, which is perfect for small spaces is the so- called nest, consisting of futon mattress. It is a very practical combination of chair, armchair and bed with a square pillow in the middle. Actually, it can be used as a lounge chair or as a guest bed and its shape is quite interesting in its modernity.

Once you see it, you want to try it! Beyond the idea of furniture, this nest combines the characteristics of the Japanese design tradition with the western preference for comfort and functionality. The simple fact that a Danish designer invented it says very many things: it is an example of quality in its simplistic existence; it looks very well and is functional and practical.

Airone Boheme Wall Hood

by Alina, posted in Appliances, on July 21st, 2011

Usually when we choose our home appliances, we do not choose them according to their appearance. We try to get the ones which are considered high quality products, which have resistant materials and which are durable and practical. This also applies in the case of hoods, which are among the most important home appliances that have to exist in a kitchen in which people cook.

This does not mean that we cannot choose a product that has all the already-mentioned attributes and it looks good. Airone Boheme Wall Hood fits into this typology; it is beautiful and it has everything you could want in terms of wall hoods: sliding, wave-shaped black glass panel, four-speed electronic touch controls, auto switch off function and filter cleaning indicator.

A Contemporary Welcome Center

by Alina, posted in Architecture, on July 21st, 2011

The first time you see a photo of this place, it makes you think about a stadium. It is located in Brasilia, Brazil and it is a very good example (if not the best) of a modern building; if the entire place should be characterized in one word, this word would definitely be “contemporary” by Rocco, Vidal + arquitetos.

It is also a proof of originality regarding its volume and its shape, it is something you have never seen before, a place you do not want to leave. It is interesting not only to see this place in a magazine or a photo, it is attractive for visitors, being also a place which can host different events and cultural activities. Among the most important aspects there is the central plaza with trees, the grid that seems to be a sort of projection, which was built in order to protect the Alphaville stand.
