Cum sa faci din bec bici si sa-l faci sa si pocneasca

Omu' cu ideea se numeste Dylan Kehde Roelofs, e sculptor si sticla este prelucrata manual (suflata manual parca are iz de nonsens...). Ce a vrea Roelofs sa ne demonstreze? Pai e simplu: "restoration of dialogue between filament and bulb". Cum era de asteptat becurile mai si lumineaza.

Calutul suedez Dala

Dintr-o jucarie taiate cu briceagul, pentru noptile lungi de iarna, in provincia Dalarna, calutul Dala a ajuns si perna pentru living. Omul cu ideea este designerul suedez Linus Kjellqvist, iar compania lui se numeste Skräddaregatan ("Skräddaregatan was a prominent street in Gothenburg during the sixteenth century. Two centuries later, in the year 1804 the street was turned to ruins and black coals by fire. As of date only one house remains intact"). In Suedia calutul se gaseste peste tot: leagan in parcuri, in magazinele de suveniruri, in toate culorile si chiar sub forma de ciocolata dar asta la Ikea...

Bucataria de pe Batistei

Am descoperit un local mic, naiv si cochet: Violeta's Vitange Kitchen. Picture this: culori vesele, oameni atenti, mancare (banuiesc) excelenta, se fumeaza in spate, design si ferestre mari. Il gasiti pe Str. Batiste, nr 23 (colt cu J.L.Calderon - langa magazinul LaStrada Deco). Pe site Violeta Dinca & Ediz Abibula posteaza meniul zilnic, asa, ca stii ce te astepta cand urci treptele...

P.S. Cred ca e prima "bucatarie" care are si un manifest: "Totul a inceput din pasiune. Si din dorul de bunica. Dorul de painea proaspat scoasa din cuptor, de gemurile si dulceturile ei, de prajituri, checuri si cozonaci plini de nuci si ciocolata. Dorul de vremurile trecute si bune, cand castronul cu orez cu lapte garnisit cu dulceata de zmeura imi indulcea plecarea la scoala, dimineata, iar turta de malai unsa cu miere mi-era recompensa suprema. Violeta’s Vintage Kitchen. Bucataria mea cu arome din trecut, in care bunica s-ar simti in largul ei..." Intrati cu incredere!

DIS-ORDER

WARDROM “Randomize YOUR wardrobe”

A modular system born to enhance DISORDER, making it graphically catchy. Very often coming back home or in our room, clothes are abandoned where they are taken off infesting chairs, beds, sofas or anything useful for the purpose of heaping.

Fata de masa gata murdarita

MESSY tableclothWe eat whatever and wherever. We made the meal an activity of fulfilling the hunger.We have forgotten pleasure of celebrating meals. We do not cook, we do not have time to clean, so we do not mess... "MESSY" project brings back conception of meeting at the table. Pattern of situation, when meal is an opportunity to spend time together.

Apartament Bucuresti

a.a.studio
40, Mircea Voda Avenue, block M11, 6th floor, ap. 60, Bucharest, Romania

Project: Apartment B.S.
Project Design Manager: Alex ADAM
Project Design Team: Roger Pop, Madalina Florea

This unconventional interior design of a three rooms apartament combines elements from the pop-art age, from the aesthetics of the years ‘60-’70 and from the contemporary minimalism, all under the influence of white, used so predominant as a manifest against the impure context where the habitation takes place.

The architecs took this project while the building was still under construction, and the first proposed partition of the apartament wasn’t made. Even so, the architects felt like restrictions some characteristics of the space like the irregular shape of the plan, the dimensions of the columns which was bigger than usual or the small height under the beams. But above all an incovenince was the surface of the apartament: 110 square meters that include two bedrooms with bathrooms and dressing-rooms, and one living space with dinning room and kitchen.

The white, with all its shades,on varied textures and shapes was used to create depth and bigger height and also to give an abstract, luxurious feeling to the place beside his apparent simplicity. Using the white with no limits, the architects made the space more dinamic,and they played with the light, natural and artificial light. The first step to achieve a unitary style was to build a dialog between all the spaces in the apartament.

The long hall was designed to be an extention of the living room: on one side of he hall the architects designed a bookcase with a decorative but functional structure. Every piece of furniture was carefuly chosen to unify the concept.

Una din cele mai curajoase amenajari din mizerabilul nostru oras Bucuresti in ultimii multi ani.
