Here is a younger designer Benjamin Hubert from UK which has made an interesting light design and won the best product award at London’s 100% Design.Created for the brand called Authentics, the Labware is a collection of glass blown lamps that are inspired by the traditional laboratory bakers and comes in three different forms. Originally designed as floor lamps, these three forms of lamps consist of blown white glass and are plugged with stoppers that are made from bark-topped Portuguese cork.

People love these lamps because their design is a bit unusual, but unique and it reminds them of their school days when they learned to perform chemistry experiments in the lab. I am sure all of you loved these classes whether you were good at it or not because they were simply spectacular and a lot different from what we used to do in the other classes. So we all remember these glass containers we used for storing different chemicals and we love them because of the memories they trigger. So these Labware lamps designed by Benjamin Hubert are very popular.

Kate Rider recently graduated from Edinburgh College of Art,and made the exploring with the beautiful Mariposa Chair. A base tapered perforated metal which plays on the contrast between the feminine side decorations inspired lace and masculine image of locksmith. Mariposa chair is perfect to be used both indoors and outdoors and has a unique, delicate design.

When you look at the photo and do not know what it is in there, you might imagine it’s some kind of a decorative object or even lacework – at least that was my first impression. It is actually a lot more resistant than that as it is made of steel and this way it can support the weight of the person sitting in it, whether thin or heavier. This chair is meant to be used in pair: one painted in white and one in black, this way allowing couples to choose the one specific for their sex and also luring them into having private conversations and time spent only for two.

Beautiful and Versatile 2foldlow glass table

by Stefan, posted in Office, on October 6th, 2009

2foldlow is an interesting piece because of the fact that it is made from a single rectangular sheet of steel. The table is extremely stable and because of the triangular structure it has a lot of strength. The table can be used for multiple purposes depending on the needs of the user. 2foldlow is white in colour and can be used both in your house and in a public place. It complements the surroundings perfectly and adds to the charm of the current settings of the place. The table is made of glass and steel and is the perfect addition to your décor.

This amazing and unique table is made of glass and steel. The glass top is pretty heavy, so it must have a solid support in order to provide a secure use of this table. So the whole job is left to the steel triangles that are made of the table leg structure. Actually the whole base is made of only one sheet of steel that is cut and folded so as to have minimum waste and after that it is modeled so as to obtain the shape you can see in the picture. Available at cataci.com for 2,341.00 euros.

Prefab Playhouse by Modern Cabana

by Stefan, posted in Design And Concept, on October 5th, 2009

One of the things that almost every kid wants as they grow up is their own backyard playhouse. As parents, we want to give them one, but those pre-fab playhouses at the home improvement stores can be extremely expensive for what you get.The Modern Cabana revealed a contemporary playhouse, KIDDO Cabana to their collection of prefabricated living spaces. Designed and fabricated in San Francisco, KIDDO Cabana structures are flat packed and ready for easy assembly and each is available for 1500$.

KIDDO3

The Playhouse is manufactured using all FSC certified woods harvested from sustainable managed forests in the United States, no VOC-paints and glues and natural tree oil stains. The structure does not need an expert to be put together and you can do that yourself if you follow the clear instructions. The playhouse is perfectly sized for the kids and is safe for them, too. There are no sharp edges and also nothing the kids can break or get loose or swallow or any other hazards for them.

There are three parts of the door that are flapping depending on the kids height. There is a blackboard inside and also a folding table they can use when they want to and also a little chair next to it. They can roll down paper from the scroll and use it for drawing and the windows are huge in order to let the natural sunlight in. In my opinion this is the perfect place for a kid to play in.

Takao Akiyama Minimalist Home in Meiwamach

by Stefan, posted in Architecture, on October 5th, 2009

Here is a house with clean lines, rectangular forms and ceiling-to-floor glass windows that give the home a pure and minimal feel. I definitely like the Takao Akiyama Minimalist Home in Meiwamach because it has fresh and white forms that structure the design starkly contrast with the closely surrounding homes in the neighborhood.

This house stands out from the distance. When you look at the buildings in the block you can see houses, houses, houses and then suddenly this Minimalist home by Takao Akiyama. It is white to describe it in the first place and it shows its simplicity and purity. And white is the colour of choice both for the exterior and for the interior design.

And the designer uses it cleverly in combination with some colourful details in order to obtain the maximum visual impact. The white little stairs look like they are floating and a simple red flower pot on the white table is more obvious than a hundred decorative objects in a coloured house.

The house’s beauty is in the details that are carefully arranged in order to get the overall effect. The house opens up directly in the interior garden that has nothing but grass and is surrounded by natural pebbles. There is natural light in the house thanks to the wide windows but also to the whiteness of the walls. The minimalist style is obvious, but fits the whole picture perfectly.
