It´s made in rotomoulded PET and pine legs. Spanish designer Javier Alejandre has created the Oddbod Chair. The chair plays at the boundary between an inert object such as a chair and to give life to this object. The formal inspiration are the weird sci-fi movies of the mid-twentieth century design and retrofuturistic organic design tendences.

The old wood boat sheds on the neighboring Snagov Lake inspired the shape and materials of the house. Architect Corvin Cristian has completed the Larix House in Snagov, Romania. The lot is narrow thus generating the plan and position. For intimacy reasons, the street elevation is totally opaque while the openings abound towards the courtyard. Sun protection is provided by exterior electric aluminum blinds that slide underneath the wood facade when not in use.
The Thonet chairs, the ottoman inspired sofa from Autobahn, the reclaimed wood coffee table or the Matthew Hilton “Oscar” armchairs are a counterpoint to the white minimal space. The walls are to be filled with a collection of paintings. In the austere geometry of the house introduced some “romantic” elements as the curved balcony handrail or the 1900 colored concrete tiles.

The owner of this home used the same pale colored wood on the floor to create the shelves and trim for this niche. It could be a fun DIY project. This helps to maintain harmony in the room. To avoid complication, wouldn’t necessarily have to incorporate the slanted part, although it does add some interest. Next, create the base on which the day bed will lay and incorporate some storage, as they have done here.
Think about integrating some lighting for nook, but plan it before putting up the shelves and faux walls. Next, think about cozy pillows and blankets and decide on a color scheme. Here, they used gray and white, green and blue in light tones of medium to light intensities. As a result, the space is cool and relaxing – pretty peaceful.

The foundations of asymmetrical style include arrangements or designs that are based on avoiding repetition, which is typical of classical or traditional styles. By using an asymmetrical interior design principle for the kitchen wall, the designers succeeded in achieving balance in this unusual space – one that is highly modern and evokes an enormous amount of interest.
The cut out of the angled kitchen wall is in the wonderful shape of an isosceles triangle and it provides an out of the ordinary view from either side. The look of the wall itself also makes a striking statement in the room. The danger of asymmetry in a room comes about when it is over done. Instead of accomplishing an unusual but pleasing balance, you could end up with a ‘fun-house’ effect.
These contemporary fireplaces boast an innovative heat efficient technology and a stylish aesthetic. If you are looking for rustic fireplace designs, check out these ideas by Modus Design. Steel and natural slate cladding, rust effect finishes and chrome fixings give these designs a modern rustic look. These enclosed gas fire or wood burning fireplaces create a wonderful focal point in any room – even in the kitchen as you can see. Especially like the idea of creating a contrast with a raw wooden, stone or brick wall against the bold straight lines of the fireplaces themselves. They are wonderful frames from which to view the dancing flames of the fire.
RB Arkitektur designed this house in Stockholm, Sweden. The house is conceived as part of the landscape climbing gently up a hilly terrain. An inner courtyard allows for privacy as well as for maximum daylight. The roof is covered with green moss, making the building integrate with the surrounding nature as the boundaries between construction and landscape dissolve.
The couch faces the fireplace and the view and really designates it as a special area, as does the fact that the space in enclosed on three sides. Yet the feeling remains airy and open with the help of the half wall and the large windows. The nook has no television, no distractions, just the calming kinetic glow of the fire to promote total serenity. Especially in this contemporary space, the fire really comes alive against the light, neutral color scheme. If you are lucky enough to have a beautiful decorative fireplace like this one, consider making it the focal point of the nook.
Inspiring interior design this study room has. The study belongs to house “B3″, one of the 20 houses in a residential project by Atelier FCJZ. The built-in library unit is very majestic and can feel an Asian influence behind it and the whole interior in general. What is most striking about this room is the decision to continue the library pattern onto the ceiling. It adds an incredible amount of interest and gives this grand room a cozier feel – one that is typical when we think of a study. Another lovely touch is the ambient lighting around the ceilings’ edge, which also serves to accent the architectural features of the ceiling.
Designed by Bestor Architecture, this Californian bungalow possesses such a lively quality thanks to all that color, without being aggravating. This was achieved by using big accents of cheerful yellow against the white and natural main elements of the interior design.
Smaller accents of complimentary colors green and red help make the color scheme more dynamic, while the use of black to frame the kitchen grounds the space. This residence has a wonderful open floor plan, and shows how using bright, bold colors can define living areas and create an energetic modern home

SHH designed the new building as three elegant interlocking volumes, each one larger than the last and variously clad in timber, glass and stone. The first 8.5m high ‘box’ is clad in dark timber slats, allowing the light to shine through dramatically at night-time, whilst protecting against the searing daytime sun. A grand stone entry staircase in Galala marble is located in front of/alongside this first timber slat elevation. The staircase is set beneath a high-impact cantilevered entrance canopy, inset on the underside with brightly-coloured mosaic-style tiling, linking in both to the shapes used on the third stone volume of the building and to a fabric two-storey wall created as part of the interior treatment.
The second 9.7m high ‘Chinese lantern’ box is clad in dark glass and features applied aluminium mullions in a geometric pattern, whilst the third and final 12.2m high box is clad in stone, in the colour of sand to blend in with its environs, in seemingly random grain patterns. In fact, the striking geometric pattern was achieved by turning the basic stone module pieces either vertically or horizontally with filler pieces in between for tolerances.

Drawing inspiration from the beauty of the pig, Imaginarte offers a space for creative people to generate big ideas. Located within the offices of this Communication Agency, the space brings together all you need to ensure a flood of creative ideas. The set up was conceived to enhance teamwork. In order to remove all those barriers to communication, there is not a single desk in sight. Instead, Warren (a sculptured pig) presides over this evocative room, with its LED lighting.
The upholstery was designed exclusively for use in this pigsty and shows Warhol-style ham textures. In similar style are the chrome-plated aluminium light fittings and of course, the highly-original sliding door, with its remote control, in the form of a huge pink snout, all in an effort to honour Warren’s fine looks. Even he seems to have understood that this is an area to promote communication, judging by the size of the Oink Oink, seen on the wall.

Faber’s roots are in the Dutch province of Friesland where in 1844, Jan Gerrits Faber established a blacksmith’s shop. In addition to fireplaces, the business also made bicycles, skates, hay and straw balers, beet cutting machines and safes. When natural gas was discovered at nearby Slochteren in the sixties, fireplaces became all the rage. For Faber, this provided sufficient reason to concentrate its efforts on the design and production of quality gas fires.
The business gradually developed into market leader in the field of chimney-based fires. In 1996, Faber launched its very first fires with closed combustion technology, a safe technique which has since been adopted by many other manufacturers. In 2001, Faber moved from Leeuwarden to its current location in Heerenveen. The site includes a stylishly equipped showroom open to the public. Behind the showroom is a lab, where fires are designed and international homologation tests are carried out.
