Functional design by Andreas Saxer

interiordesign — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 18:51:34 +0000

Andreas Saxer is a designer with an eye for what’s hot in modern furniture. His pieces are inspired by everyday items, but they come together in startlingly unique ways. The above pictured Tofu Stackable Sideboard reminds one of stackable tofu boxes in Japan. Each shelf comes with functional elements so that it can be positioned alongside the other boxes in a variety of configurations to suit its surroundings. The below pictured Chop Stick wardrobe is inspired by the Japanese chopstick and the ancient art of wood carving. It features five wood poles that loosely fit together, stabilizing as more clothes are added.

Alex Fischer blurs the distinction between traditional painting, sculpture, and temporal, video-based and digital art. Acrylics, found materials, print-outs, videos, and digital images are all equal in Fischer’s palette as he creates vaguely unnerving, densely layered and textured images.

Stylish Apartment by Chrystalline Architect

interiordesign — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:16:13 +0000

Chrystalline Architect was trying to optimize the function of every part of this apartment, such as the space function, partition material and furniture, to accomodate all the owner activities. The extreme change-over is they replace the bathroom partition from standard brick wall into frameles glass to make it see-through, with roller blind to provide guest privacy. They use a frameles mirror as wall treatment on the side wall at the dining area to double sizing the visual space which also we put a hanging dining table with steel structure that is hidden in the back of the mirror panel. The dining area is designed as the favorite room for the owner to entertain their guests that extended with small sitting room. This area is connected to the bedroom through a hidden sliding door. The use of the door is to make the space more efficient. Along the “bridge” from dining area to the bedroom, they place the wardrobe with mirror panel sliding door in order to omit the narrow space in corridor. via

Baroque inspired apartment

interiordesign — Tue, 20 Jul 2010 15:33:50 +0000

This apartment for a filmmaker reinterprets the use of poché to support Baroque theatricality and proposes a cinematic architecture of sequences and points of view. The use of “virtual poché” in the Baroque to hide service spaces and to create mystery and surprise is updated through a cinematic emphasis on thinness and surface instead of solidity and mass. The apartment occupies the top floor of an 11-story Art Deco-era hotel that has recently been converted to apartment living with mix-use commercial tenant spaces on the ground floor. via
