Strida MK2 Folding Bike

The MK2 is based on Mark Sanders original single speed drum brake design for Strida. The strida bike handlebars are mounted horizontally so the rider can sit comfortably upright with an excellent view of the road. The genius of the triangular frame is that it can quickly fold. In five seconds, you have a light, compact form that you can easily wheel, stow in a closet, load in your car or take on the train. Limited to only 20. Via Design Don't Panic.

sodae house

In a nature area between Amsterdam, Amstelveen and Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, lies the Kostverlorenkade 1; an island measuring 1200m2. Here, VMX build a 500m2 house. The starting point for the concept was the perception of the landscape, the distant high buildings of the Zuid As and the Rembrandt Tower as well as the view of the aeroplanes travelling to and from Schiphol.

casa barone

The project is created as per order of a construction company from Bulgaria. The assignment was to design an office, which to be different and remembered. Constructing the functions, which are necessary for one such space we found out the idea to make a hybrid between the desk of the manager of the company and a conference table, which he needs in order to organize meetings with clients, as well as the working meetings with its personnel. This piece of furniture turned into an accent of this office and gave it a unique appearance.

Capullo Light

As the new compact fluorescent bulbs become the norm for home lighting, Moises Hernandez embraces the shape of the spiraling bulbs with the Capullo Light which takes its inspiration from natural elements.

"This luminary provides formal continuity within the bulb and fixture, fusing them into one spiral part that holds in its interior a changing element which provides light or shade.
'Capullos', spanish for cocoons, are natural elements, protecting life and observing constant transformation of everything living within." - Moises Hernandez

living house, lake geneva

The swiss architects kaufmann widrig designed 'living house' located on the southern side
of lake geneva. the piece of land was originally an orchard in the grounds of the neighbouring
villa. the plot is long and thin and its narrow side meets the shore of the lake.

the building is placed in amongst the shoreline boathouses and reflects their geometry
and materials. it is also consistent with the pattern of boathouses and villas that exists along that
part of lake geneva by not extending beyond the boundaries of the pre-existing structure.click here for more

home from Kanner Architects

Here is an impressive contemporary home from Kanner Architects. Oakland House from California is a stunning project of notable size and dramatic vistas. Located in the hills of Oakland, this building manages to reign over and capture incredible landscapes of the San Francisco bay. Here is some insight from the architects: “The predominantly south-southwest orientation required deep overhangs to cut down glare and soften the light quality in the home.The planning of the four bedrooms centered around placement of the master bedroom, living room and kitchen on the leading edge of the home. The glass carport and secondary bedrooms are placed in a second building higher up the slope. A glass bridge spans a bamboo garden and connects the structures.Spare and rigorously modern in its aesthetic, the home has only a handful of materials and even fewer colors.” We really like the concrete exterior finishing touch and we appreciate the imposing floor-to-ceiling windows. We kindly invite you to let us know if you noticed anything interesting concerning the interiors.

doda chair

Doda Chair was designed by Ferruccio Laviani for Molteni & C and is a modern interpretation of the classic French bergère. You are looking at a very inviting armchair that can be easily recognized due to its unique shape. Straight lines are combined with interesting curves to create a “sliding” design, one that is able to offer its user a visual satisfaction as well. The Doda Chair comes with a base that can be either fixed or movable, it all depends on the needs of the customer. The color palette is diverse and so is the upholstering material. As you can see in the images below, there is a leather finish available as well. A complementary cushion can also be ordered. “Easy Puff” can transform this chair into a more comfortable lounger
