Le studio MacKay-Lyons Sweetapple Architects a imaginé ce projet Cliff House, situé sur la côte atlantique de la Nouvelle-Ecosse. Pensé comme un prototype reproductible, cette jolie structure située face une vue incroyable propose un loft du plus bel effet. A découvrir en images dans la suite de l’article.
Gardening is known as a soothing, therapeutic pastime. Guns have a bit of a reputation for causing consternation, unsightly holes and bodily harm. To mix up these old world assumptions, ad firm Studio Total unveiled a new product: the Flower Shell. Rather than pain and strife, these shells spread life. Load up with these standard 12 gauge shells (available in a dozen different flower types) and prepare to blast new growth into your yard. Beyond the addition of seeds, the amount of gunpowder has been reduced in proportion to the type of seeds used. But don’t be concerned by the attenuated firepower—apparently this is a good thing in a product meant to be used at short-range near the home. Ideal for violently reseeding large empty fields and boring (hopefully unpopulated) garden beds.
Tired of both senseless gun violence and quiet, slow tinkering in the garden? Take replanting by storm and force the yielding soil into bountiful submission.
Note: This concept product is 100% questionable. To aid users, Studio Total has released this series of informative test videos on their Dr. Bronner’s-like website.
The Giulietta mirror is proof that certain objects are best left simple! With its elementary form, the design is minimally invasive, yet highly functional as both a place to check our your mug and hang your towel or robe. In tubular, powder-coated steel with natural oak details, it’s ideal for a number of styles and spaces beyond just the bathroom.
Designer: Luis Arrivillaga

NTN’s premier product launch, called Collection 01, focuses on material likeness and a similar construction process to tie these otherwise unrelated objects together as a series. A thoughtful balance of aluminum, fabric and natural wood define each as a singular product, but a shared design language makes them shine as a group.
Hammock Table
The Hammock Table is a low coffee table defined by a suspended fabric shelf. The shelf is kept in tension by rope connecting to aluminum leg mounts. The solid table top is of bleached Irish sycamore which is blended into the round legs.
W1 Watch
The front and back body parts of the W1 watch are CNC machined from solid aluminum. The integrated aluminum dial is created in the same process. The floating increments are etched directly onto the crystal. The watch is finished with a vegetable tanned leather strap. Available in both natural and black anodized aluminum.
Dowel Chair
The Dowel Chair is a modern take on the classic windsor chair. Constructed from solid bleached irish sycamore the seat back consists of sixteen spindles with a removable fabric cover. On the underside the legs are blended into the seat.
G1 Glasses
The character of the G1 Glasses comes as much from the materials as the shape. Formed plywood frames and temples are connected by a CNC machined aluminum armature. This armature also incorporates the custom brass hinge. Available in teak and natural aluminum with brown lens or black stained ash and black anodized aluminum with black lens.
Waterford Lamp
This pendant lamp consists of a thick, clear glass shade hand blown in Waterford, Ireland. A machined aluminum hanger suspends the shade from the grey braided cable. The lamp is finished with a hand stitched filament bulb.

We’ve written about Jean Prouvé before, the designer who figured out how to create flat-pack houses some fifty years before Ikea did. While his aluminum Maison Tropicale is the one I remember from ID History, an earlier design of his, the Maison Demontable from 1945, is now making the blog rounds.
Prouve was truly a man before his own time, and his designs never saw the mass production they were so perfectly suited for. The Maison Tropicale, for instance, was intended for mass uptake in French colonies in Africa; only three were built and shipped, and two were reportedly shipped back to Paris. But French art dealer Patrick Seguin, who owns some nine Prouvé-designed houses, dismantled and shipped one of them to Design Miami. Once on site and uncrated, the Maison Demontable (“demontable” means “de-mountable” or “can be taken to pieces”) was knocked back together by workers, and the process was time-lapse-video’d for all to see:
