Mobile-free Mini Speaker

Posted in: Uncategorized

Bluetooth speakers are great n’ all but they’re still dependent on your mobile device in order to access your perfectly curated playlists. It not only drains your battery, but the music can be interrupted by calls and apps or even walking out of range. The Cloudlink speaker explores integrating an OS, wifi/wired connection, and easy touch display into one unit that can access your tunes from the cloud, a Pandora account or other apps. It not only frees up your phone but its slim profile makes it easy to move between your favorite rooms.

Beautiful White Villa

Posted in: Uncategorized

Dans le sud de l’Allemagne, l’agence Philipp Architekten a construit la résidence familiale « Villa P » : une maison à la façade blanche au milieu d’un espace vert et perchée sur les hauteurs du paysage. Les baies vitrées offrent une vue imprenable sur le Nord qui se reflète dans les fenêtres.

Bounce stools by Véronique Baer spring back into shape

Posted in: Uncategorized

These quilted stools by Swiss designer Véronique Baer squish down when sat on and bounce back up when the sitter stands up.

Véronique Baer designed the Bounce range with the aim to “create a seat which will adapt totally to any kind of body shape and which will therefore offer the maximum amount of comfort.”

The seats are created by gluing together two pieces of foam, forming symmetrical shapes that have no front or back.

Four oak wood legs support these mushroom-like tops, which are covered in quilted upholstery by Dutch textile brand Febrik.

“It is fascinating how materials are able to change shape and transform their functions again and again,” said Baer.

The largest of the three stools in the range, named Anton, is designed to be big enough to provide side and back support for the sitter.

Christine is a smaller version with a rounded top, while the smallest model has a cylindrical seat and is called Olaf.

The three designs can also be used in a row and reclined on like a lounger.

Baer graduated from Lausanne’s ECAL design school in 2011. She presented her Bounce collection at the Blickfang workshop that took place at Domaine de Boisbuchet in France last month, where Renate Nederpel showed a pop-up wardrobe made from fabric panels.
