Residence In Redmond Washington By Nils Finne
I’m a wood fan. I think wood makes a home alive, warm. Beautiful. This Redmond Washington residence by Nils Finne is a perfect example.
Made with care from sustainable materials, this house has very high Clerestory windows allowing the natural light to flood the house as long as possible. The house was built in 2 ½ years but the clean and functional result was worth the waiting. The master bedroom has a direct view on the surrounding trees, making the owners say it’s their personal treehouse, their home made by Nils Finne after carefully listening and planning. An architect who believes in small firms and dedicated attention, every client’s house becoming the client’s image.
Boxx Table Lamp By Enrico Franzolini
This aluminum lamp declined in eight colors has a very interesting screen that can be used to adapt the light intensity.
You can have your box in black or white and your adjustable screen in orange, red, grey, clear matt satin white. The fluorescent light is very discreet and the moving screen allowing a controlled distribution of light. Elegant and innovative, the Boxx Lamp by Enrico Franzolini looks perfect for a desk but I wouldn’t mind having it on the floor too.
No.7 (Nube) Chair By Tomas Alonso
What do you get when you put a blue staple and wood together? The No.7 Nube Chair by young Spanish designer, Tomas Alonso.
Made from steam bent wood, this chair looks simple yet very interesting. The No. 7 Chair was inspired by the classic Thonet chairs everybody knows and loves, with a twist of color and more elaborate footprint. I think the spanish designer made a great color statement in traditions reinterpretation and it would definately be fun to have a handful of chairs like this one, each a different color, together at the same table.
Floating Flower Vase By Studio Note
You know all those beautiful flowers you put in a vase, how lovely they look and how quick they fade? Wouldn’t you sometimes wish you could keep those falling petals too?
Norihiko Terayama from Studio Note found a solution – The Floating Flower vase! Made for blooming flowers, the delicate vase has also a pond-like vase for the fallen petals. You can fill it with water and now you have two vases in one – a standing one for the flowers and a plate for the fallen petals! It looks so beautiful and delicate, one of those cases of white perfection!
Clayton Residence By Mork Ulnes, San Francisco
Even if the exterior isn’t all that inviting, a classic 19th century Victorian residence, the interior is simple yet truly warm.
The original house was remodeled to allow a proper invasion of natural light and a clean, vast repartition of living interior space. It’s a double story family residence, with a classic repartition of the public and private areas: private sleeping area upstairs and public spaces downstairs. White walls, wooden floors and coordinated colors make this Mork and Ulnes designed residence a beautiful and accessible one.
