Haus Elise by Synn Architects

Haus Elise by Synn Architects is a beauty. White walls and concrete really gets my heart going! The way the home office looks from the street at night makes it look like a doll house. I can assure, though, that blinds are installed for privacy. The zebra wood-looking stairs become a design element leading upstairs. The only change I would have made would be to make a sliding partition for the tub in the master… just for privacy.

David Stine

The style of David Stine is a fusion of sustainability and classic American flair. Each of his designs are made using only carefully-selected wood from trees that have reached the end of their lifespans. The Sycamore Round table pictured above looks more like a polished version of a tree stump you’d see in a forest!

LEGO Boardroom Table

We’ve talked about a lot of pieces designed with the use of LEGOs in the past. But, this LEGO boardroom table by abgc Architects is one of the coolest. A recently-formed advertising agency, Boys and Girls, commissioned abgc to create a comfortable, modern space in a Georgian building. The proposal also included a 4′x9′ boardroom table design made entirely of LEGOs, complete with the company’s logo embedded into the tabletop.

The table consists of 22,742 pieces clicked together with traditional LEGO construction techniques (no glue), a 136-mm grommet is located in its center. It sits on a polished stainless steel square hollow section structure built by B.A. Engineering of Prussia St and is topped with a 10-mm sheet of toughened glass manufactured by Action Glass.

Adjustable Light Lamp

A lamp that is surrounded by adjustable blinds designed by Enric Jovani and Mariona Cruells. This concept is more than merely decorative, by design it asks us to interact with light and mood, going beyond light being just a necessity.

From the designers:

Light is a part of our daily environment. Gives life to it, fills up the space and makes our movements easy. Imagine now that, apart from being capable to enjoy this light, we can manipulate it, play with it far from the traditional use of the switches. Surpassing the on/off routine, the lamp opens a whole univers of nuances and luminosities, a fan of ambients and situations within reach, allowing even to give form to diverse moods. Is not just an object, is a new way to interact with the light.
