Perfect Merger Between Art and Design: Contemporary Apartment in Brazil Posted: 18 Jun 2014 10:34 AM PDT Designers Salvio Moraes Jr and Moacir Schmitt Jr of CASAdesign Interiores completed Loft 44, an impressive 220 square meter contemporary apartment located in Praia Brava, Brazil. The design was planned for a married couple, with a busy life who values those week-end moments of relaxation. The apartment consists of living space, kitchen, dining , bedroom , bathroom and entrance hall. Natural light fills the entire crib, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Design and art are the two major highlights of the loft. Artworks of Fabiana Langaro Loos and Helena Neckel are subtly emphasized within the apartment. Jader Almeida, Sérgio Rodrigues, Guilherme Torres, Maarten Baas and Ron Gilad sign some of the daring furniture pieces.  At the center of the Living space, you will notice a large tapestry leather, dyeing with earth tones, forming a patchwork. This great mat is composed of more than 8 bits, which can be further redesigned according to the user’s needs. Enjoy discovering the many original decorating ideas in the photo gallery below!

Visually Striking Furniture Duo: Work Table and Cutlery Box by Ekaterina Vagurina Posted: 18 Jun 2014 07:36 AM PDT Russia-based designer Ekaterina Vagurina sent us photos of a visually striking furniture duo she envisioned using fiber-cement and wood. Dobrobox (the next six photos of this post) is an original cutlery box. Its top wooden cover can be slid horizontally to reveal four slots for different types of a cutlery: spoon, knife, fork and small spoon. Carved out in concrete, these slots make for an interesting dining experience. Dobrostol is a multifunctional tray table that can be used for eating in bed or as a work table, easy to place anywhere inside the house. Dobrostol also comes with a removable tray-box under the top of the table where the user can use to hide empty or dirty plates. One can even use this unconventional looking design for working & eating sessions, as the unit provides plenty of space for cups, plates and various gadgets.  Have a look at the photos and tell us what you think!

Seaside Retreat in Norway Displaying a Charming Wooden Exterior Posted: 18 Jun 2014 04:13 AM PDT Overlooking Holmestrand and the fjords, this seaside retreat in suburban Oslo comes with a charming appeal. Designed by Schjelderup Trondahl Architects, and photographed by Jonas Adolfsen, the single-family residence in the photos below is dramatically situated on the edge of a cliff and offers 180 degree views toward the sea to the east and a rich natural landscape to the west. Its complex form is the result of adjoining two main wings, which were bent 22 degrees to each other, in order to adapt the house to its rough terrain. A rich variety of textures contributes to an overall welcoming feel: “The interior wooden walls and ceilings are clad with white oiled poplar plywood boards and white ash floorboards are used, introducing a light softness to the interior. The internal geometry represents necessary constructions for the cantilevered roofs in addition to defining spaces. All windows and doors are made from massive oak.” The lovely cantilevered roofs, shifting facades and spacial experiences offered here places this Norwegian retreat on our list of dream homes.   The post Seaside Retreat in Norway Displaying a Charming Wooden Exterior appeared first on Freshome.com.

Color for Modern Bathrooms: Pop Limited Edition Accademia Bathtub [Video] Posted: 18 Jun 2014 12:52 AM PDT Winner of the Red Dot Best of the Best 2014 product design award, Teuco‘s Pop Accademia Bathtub is an instant eye-catcher. Discovered on Trendir, the project is meant to bring color into the bathroom in an original manner: “With the Pop Limited Edition Accademia bathtub, we have combined classic with post-modern, creating a unique piece: a collector’s item, capable of summing up in the best possible way the merger of technology with Teuco design, catering to the needs of craftsmanship, to become pure art”, the developers stated. While developing the exclusive world of Accademia, the designers exploited all the potential of Duralight®, a solid surface composite material conceived, produced and processed exclusively by Teuco, which is 100% pliable, easy to restore, hygienic and easy to clean: “With Accademia, we have pushed the versatility of Duralight® beyond its existing limits, making this bathtub an item capable of setting a new styling standard, which is both strikingly simple yet at the same time luxurious, all imbued with a simplicity that allows past, present and future to liaise, teaming minimalism with neo-classical design.” Have a look at the video below and see the making-of process behind this striking bathtub design!
