Modern Furniture: Petal5 Stacking Stool by 4-Pli

Simple concept – wood is beautiful and should be designed as such.  Simple rule and core principal of design – look to nature for inspiration.  Mother Nature will never let you down, because she got it right the first time.  The Petal5 Stacking Stool, designed by Brooklyn-based design/build studio 4-Pli, demonstrates all of the above beautifully.

Modern Dream Homes: Schönberg Residence Addition

Dialect Design, a design + build firm in Charlotte, NC, created an ideal space for learning and living when they built the second story addition for the Schönberg residence.  The focal point of the addition is a contemporary library.  Built with an ingenious “box within box” construction of recessed shelves that reveal shadow lines creating the illusion of floating inside the library walls, the library is a study in drama and functionality.  The red exterior walls echo the ordered elegance of the shelves to dramatic effect.

Matroshka : a Compact Living Concept

I’ve always been fascinated with Matroshka, those cunning Russian stacking dolls. At first glance it seems like a simple toy, however when you start peeling back the layers, you realize there’s lots of tiny treasures stuffed into a small succinct space.

Now the same concept has been applied to a compact furniture system, featuring a flexible “room within a room” cascading structure.  Aptly named Matroshka, the furniture grouping contains an L-shaped sofa, double bed, dinner table, four stools, total seating for 12, home office workspace, wardrobe and a bunch of storage.

Modern Dream Homes : Stinson Beach House by Studio Peek-Ancona

Flood-proof-prefab-studio-peek-ancona

This summer has been gloomy and cold in southwest, while unbearably desert like and stormy on the east coast – so it is no secret that climate changes have brought unbearable and sometimes threatening weather patterns to new regions.  A demand for new creative solutions that match these changes has become a reality.

Save Energy in Your Kitchen

Fancy going green and saving some money in the process? The electrical appliance retailer Currys has just launched a major online campaign to highlight energy saving to consumers.
As well as introducing savings to appliance ranges across their site – including dishwashers, fridge freezers and washing machines – the retailer has posted a number of editorials with helpful advice on how to make great efficiency savings in the home.

They pick up some surprising things that aren’t commonly thought of:

Refrigeration– Keeping foods and liquids covered. We all know the hygiene reasons for this, but did you know that uncovered food releases more moisture? This means that the appliance has to work harder to defrost itself.

Laundry– Quick wash programs actually use more energy because they force the element to work harder over a shorter time.

Dishwashing– Did you know it actually takes more energy for your dishes to dry than wash? It’s better to let your dishes air dry.
