Découverte de Gail Albert Halaban qui nous présente cette série de photographies baptisée « Out My Window ». Avec des clichés d’appartements et des moments de vie capturés, ces images parviennent à montrer un instant ou une ambiance. Une série d’excellente qualité à découvrir dans la suite de l’article.
For those of you who aren’t hip to the streetwear scene, “SUPER” is Retrosuperfuture’s flagship line of sunglasses. Milan-based brothers David and Simon Beckerman launched the company in 2007, a new venture for the publishers of an independent fashion and music magazine, to fill a space in the high-end eyewear market. The minimal acetate frames are made in Italy with Zeiss lenses start at roughly €99 and are built to last (though I’m sure many of you share my habit of losing or breaking shades on a regular basis).
They’ve recently produced a manufacturing video in what has become a grand tradition over the past couple years. The clip traces a pair of sunglasses’ journey from cellulose powder to finished product:
I can’t complain about the production value, but I do wish there was a stronger sense of continuity—i.e., this is what goes in, this is what comes out—but the edit paints the process in short, quick strokes.

The Strucchair approaches modern seating design from a different angle; it aims to fit into irregular, ever-changing environments rather than traditional settings. The unique adaptive structure consists of several kinetic units held together by rubber hinges. Together they form two quadrilateral prisms that move independently to create a balanced and comfortable surface no matter how irregular the terrain might be. Confused much!? Don’t worry… there’s a vid to explain it all! Hit the jump to watch!

Smart design meets urban light in this minimal LED street lamp design by Igor Solovyov. The steel and aluminum-cast lamp reaches upward with just a slight curve at the top; enough to cast a bright light to the sidewalk without overly-obstructing the view of the sky above. A cluster of large and small multidirectional LEDs ensure light is dispersed as efficiently as possible to the area below.

This holiday home by Swiss architects Hurst Song Architekten is partly embedded in the steep slopes of the Swiss Alps (+ slideshow).
Located in Lumbrein in the Swiss canton of Graubünden, the house is vertically clad in black-stained timber.
The roof is made from copper and will eventually discolour to blend in with the dark timber.
The gabled roof has been positioned perpendicular to the hill, as is customary for local buildings.
A concrete frame has been inserted around the entrance at the lower corner of the house.
The underground parking area also provides a separate internal entrance to the house.
The interiors make use of concrete and spruce, with darker materials on the lower levels and lighter materials throughout the upper floors.
The kitchen and living room have spruce walls and concrete floors, and are divided by a central concrete wall.
The bedrooms are finished in spruce and some have beds that fold out from the walls.
The project was commended in the AR House 2012 prize this year.
Another house in the Swiss Alps we’ve featured on Dezeen is a concrete extension to a stone house and barn.

Here’s some more text from the architects:
The building is located at the periphery of the village and ascribed to the landscape of a sloping field. The new road curves below the parcel which necessitates a steep berm where a small incision is made to allow access to the garage and provide entry to the house through the basement.
The gabled roof is oriented perpendicular to the slope following local custom.The building volume is rotated to face the street and to optimize the stunning views.
The resulting crystalline geometry emphasizes a dynamic relationship to the landscape. This reading is enhanced by the absence of roof eaves.
The sheathing, composed of verticle wooden planks, is treated with a weatherproof dark stain which relates to the materialtiy of the aged barns in the region.
The standing-seam copper roof will age in a short time to the same hue as the facade.
The interiors are primarily composed out of concrete and spruce. The surfaces interlock and graduate in proportion from the cellar to the attic from heavy to light.
In the living room a rugged concrete floor matches the concrete walls and in the bedrooms the wood floors are made from the same material as the timber walls and ceilings.

German designer Sarah Böttger scaled the same rectangular shape up and down to create this tubular metal hall stand.
“Skale can be what you make of it – a wardrobe, side table, shoe shelf or simply to display your favorite outfit,” says Böttger. “Its form is based on a collage of one original shape that has been multiplied, scaled, turned and nested into one another.”
See Böttger’s containers made of glass components joined with plastic rings and disks in our earlier story.
