The Hilltop House by Safdie Rabines

A stunning design, with a lovely garden, mind blowing views, extraordinary interiors, lavish furnishing, a pool to relax in, this breathtaking hilltop house is located just north of San Diego.

We love the shiny tiles and those wooden accents on the inside and more importantly the way it looks at night with all those lights … A brilliant design by Safdie Rabines!

The Hex Sofa by Nonsigner

Designed by “Nosigner” the Hex Sofa is a sofa which has a sharp shape like a mineral ore being inspired by hexagonal crystal. By being wrapped by plywood, it has a side table on the edge of the sofa and the sloped shoulders of the sofa work as armrests. When you have a sofa like this you can replace a side table, but I’d be careful because I might injure myself from time to time.

Skid Row by Philippe Malouin

Designed by Philippe Malouin the “Skid Row” will be part of his exhibition ‘unusual context’ for nextlevel gallery in paris. The chair is made from bent steel tubing, perforated birch balls, and elastic shock cord. When the user sits down, the wooden balls rearrange and contour the shape of his or her body. Philippe malouin’s work combines a certain element of humor, with both conceptual and functional language. To be honest when I first saw this piece of furniture I’ve thought that those balls are actually eggs.

The Pooktre Tree Chair Looks Like a Chair from a Fairy Tale

What you are going to see in the next post is a piece of furniture that looks like it just appeared from a fairy tale, but is in fact the product of an ingenious method of tree shaping developed by a couple of artists at Pooktre! The idea first came about over 20 years ago when Peter “Pook” Cook, a free-spirited entrepreneur living in the mountains of Australia, wondered if it would be possible to grow his own chairs. Unaware of anyone else practicing tree shaping in the world, Pook toyed with this idea for years, conducting numerous experiments with various gardening methods and tree types while recording his observations. Eventually, in 1996 his experiments and collaboration with his partner Becky Northey led to the development of a system of tree shaping he dubbed “Pooktre.” To find more about this visit Pooktre website.
