Dezeen Showroom:De Vorm has released its latest acoustic panel, Mute Fraction, which is made from PET felt and based on a three-dimensional version of the golden ratio known as the plastic number.
The Mute Fraction PET felt acoustic panel has a distinctive pattern designed using this proportion system, which was put forward by Dutch architect and monk Dom Hans van der Laan in 1928 and sees the 3:4 ratio as the basis of harmonious composition.
The Mute Fraction panels can be placed horizontally or vertically
As with the golden ratio, van der Laan argued that elements that conform to the plastic number are pleasing to the human eye and don’t feel out of proportion.
Following this principle led the De Vorm design team to the Mute Fraction panel, which consists of five unequal segments divided by five ribs.
The pattern is based on Dom Hans van der Laan’s “plastic number”
The panel can be used vertically or horizontally and can be made to fit any surface, as all parts can be connected seamlessly.
The panel is the latest in De Vorm’s Mute series of PET felt acoustic products and is available in a range of 11 colours.
Mute Fraction is made of recycled plastic bottles and is itself recyclable.

The apartment belongs to businessman Peter Fong, who previously collaborated with Lukstudio on the design of a nearby cafe-cum-co-working space. He brought the studio back on board to revamp the apartment he shares with his partner and young child.
Nicknamed Urban Cottage, the 180-square-metre home is almost entirely fit-out with pale Douglas fir wood, which stands in direct opposition to what is traditionally considered an upmarket interior in China.
Douglas fir panelling features throughout the apartment’s bedroom (top) and dining area (above)
“The apartment originally came with shiny marble and dark wood, a formula commonly recognized as ‘luxurious’ in the Chinese property market,” explained Lukstudio.
“For Peter and Lukstudio, solid planks of Douglas fir define our vision of luxury, because its distinct colour, grain pattern and smell recall the memory of the countryside,” the studio continued.
“For most busy urbanites, home is a temporary refuge and one would need the countryside for real rejuvenation.”
The living area can now be seen from the open kitchen
The studio had to make a number of structural changes because the rooms in the apartment were awkwardly arranged around a dark dining space that had become nothing but a thoroughfare.
A new eating area has been created in a former study, which was opened up to reveal a window and flood the centre of the plan with natural light. The space also features a lengthy Douglas fir table and a cushioned bench built into the wall.
A storage wall in the entryway contains alcoves lined in Douglas fir
To keep the space free of bulky shelving units, the studio has constructed a double-sided storage wall in the home’s entryway.
Here, the wall is inset with a duo of Douglas fir-lined display alcoves, as well as a seating nook where the client and his family can perch to remove their shoes.
Almost every surface of the living room is clad with Douglas fir wood
Partitions around the kitchen were knocked down to create sight lines through to the living area, where the ceiling, floor and entire rear wall are wood panelled.
The room has been dressed with a cream-coloured sofa, peachy leather beanbag and white marble coffee table.
A wide panel of Douglas fir runs along the back of the main bedroom to form a headboard. The same wood has also been used to frame the room’s deep-set bay windows, forming cosy niches where residents can read or relax during the day.
“While open spaces ensure the family having quality time together, nooks and crannies are just as important for each individual to feel at ease alone,” the studio explained.
Douglas fir-clad reading nooks feature in the master bedroom
The material palette takes a detour in the en-suite, where surfaces have been clad in grey Ceppo marble while smart glass screens can switch from translucent to opaque, providing privacy when the room is in use.
Douglas fir reappears in the child’s bedroom, lining a house-shaped recess that accommodates the bed.

Italian brand Arper has presented a selection of contemporary lounge chairs for the home and office on Dezeen Showroom, including a semi-spherical bowl chair and minimalist armchairs designed for the circular economy.
Launched earlier this year, Barcelona design studio Altherr Désile Park created Arper‘s first solid wood lounge chair called Kata, which is informed by artisanal woven straw chairs.
The chair adopts circular economic principles in that the production, distribution and various components of the chair are designed to minimise environmental impact and increase the product’s lifespan.
The Kata chair is sustainably designed with a FSC-certified wood frame and upholstery made from post-consumer plastic waste
Oak and black locust FSC-certified wood is used for the frame, which is topped with a water-based varnish.
The frame is upholstered in a 3D-knitted cover that forms both the seat and backrest in a unified piece. The knitted cover is made from polyester that has been sourced from post-consumer plastic waste – the equivalent of one kilogram of PET bottles – which is then recycled and woven into yarn.
At the end of its lifespan, the chair can be entirely disassembled and recycled.
Each component of the Mixu chair can be easily disassembled, repaired or replaced
Similarly, Arper’s Mixu chair, designed by global architecture firm Gensler, also takes a sustainable approach and was created to “offer interior designers a degree of authorship and a sense of the human touch.”
Made from FSC-certified wood and post-industrial recycled plastic, the chair is composed of three elements – a seat, backrest and base – which are held together without the use of glue or staples to ensure it can be easily dismantled, recycled or responsibly disposed of. This also makes it easy to replace various parts.
The commitment to sustainable principles is further demonstrated through the product’s distribution, in which the chair is shipped in its disassembled state to reduce its volume and carbon footprint.
The Kinesit Met office chair is lightweight and minimal and features adjustable lumbar support
Design studio Lievore Altherr Molina has given the Kinesit Met office chair a contemporary update with a host of new textures and materials.
The lightweight office chair, which was originally launched in 2014, is now available in a refreshed palette of warm, cool and neutral tones that can be mixed and matched, with different colours used for the seat and backrest.
With a minimal and elegant silhouette, the chair is suited for home offices or comfortable work environments. It features adjustable lumbar support concealed within the thin backrest’s frame and comes in a low or medium-back option.
The Aston seating range is distinguished by its deep profile and plush upholstered cushions
French designer Jean-Marie Massaud has evolved his Aston seating range to include new club chair models. Originally designed in 2006, the updated variations retain the same shape as their predecessor but offer a more relaxed feel and are tailored towards lounge settings instead of boardrooms.
The Aston Club features a deep inclined seat with ample space and a wraparound headrest designed to enclose its sitter in comfort and enhance privacy. It is also available with an optional footrest.
The Aston Club Low Back also provides generous comfort but takes a more compact form and has no headrest. Both chairs are available with four-star bases that can be finished in painted aluminium, no-VOC paint or polished.
Like Arper’s other products, the chair’s internal frame is composed of post-industrial recycled waste and can be easily disassembled and recycled.
Arper has released Bardi’s Bowl Chair in two Rubelli fabrics that resemble Bo Bardi’s work
Originally designed in 1951, Arper has reissued Bardi’s Bowl Chair – created by modernist architect Lina Bo Bardi – as a nod to her recent Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement in memoriam.
The brand collaborated with Venetian textile company Rubelli to create a limited and numbered edition of 500 pieces, releasing the chair in two Rubelli fabrics that resemble Bo Bardi’s work.
The Lollipop fabric echoes typical 1950s prints featuring geometric patterns of red and mustard yellow brushstrokes, while the Eureka fabric has a similar colour palette but features a woven textured design.
Established in 1989, Arper is a family-run company that produces chairs, tables and furnishings
Arper is an Italian family-run company founded by Luigi Feltrin and his sons Claudio and Mauro in 1989.
The brand regularly collaborates with renowned architects and designers to create its products, as well as materials and finishing companies such as Kvadrat and Camira.

Dezeen promotion: landscape designer Thomas Hoblyn has created a Secret Garden-inspired show garden featuring a hand-carved oak screen and walls textured with Armourcoat limestone render.
The Boodles Secret Garden was presented at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show
The designer’s aim was to create an enclosed retreat in the spirit of the secret garden featured in the children’s book by Frances Hodgson-Burnett.
To achieve this, he planned a series of walls to divide up the space using materials that have just as natural a texture as the planting areas.
Two walls finished in Armourcoat limestone render provide the backdrop to the garden
The two walls that form the backdrop to the garden are hand-finished with Armourcoat‘s exterior polished plaster (PPX).
This limestone render is durable, low-maintenance, and offers the appearance of naturally honed stone.
The render offers the look of real plaster, but is durable enough for outdoors
“The garden has a very naturalistic feel about it, using a lot of natural products like timber in its raw form and hand-dressed stone,” said Hoblyn, “and I really wanted to create a wall that had the same mood.”
“Armourcoat PPX creates this lovely pitted effect, so it looks like it’s been there for a long time, which is bang on for the ambience I was trying to create for the sanctuary garden,” he explained.
There is an undulating oak screen in the front of the garden
The garden’s undulating wooden screen forms the entrance to the enclosed garden.
The screen is made from consecutively cut oak sheets that have been hand carved to create a rippling surface. There are gaps between each sheet, as well as a doorway cutaway, offering visitors a glimpse inside.
On either side of these walls, Hoblyn added ornamental grasses, tree ferns, and flowers in shades of pink and blue.
Hoblyn felt it was important to use materials with a natural texture
This is the seventh garden that Hoblyn has created for the Chelsea Flower Show, which typically takes place in May but was postponed this year as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Here, he hoped to highlight the importance of finding sanctuary and restoring wellbeing at a time of global crisis.
The design takes inspiration from The Secret Garden, a book by Frances Hodgson-Burnett
The designer points out that this is not his first time using Armourcoat PPX in a show garden, as he believes the product is well suited to an outdoor setting.
“It’s a perfect exterior product as it looks flawless and is designed to last,” he said.
Thomas Hoblyn has exhibited at the RHS Chelsea Flower Show seven times
“I would use it for all my show gardens because it’s a great way to get a really good effect, but it’s a real product that you can use outside,” he added. “This is not a stage set; this is a real garden.”
The Boodles Secret Garden was awarded a Silver Gilt medal from the organisers, recognising it as one of the best in show.

The set designs for Netflix‘s hit show Squid Game, which were informed by everything from MC Escher engravings to real children’s playgrounds, were designed “to look cute and sweet” according to the show’s director and art director.
Set in modern-day South Korea, Squid Game depicts a contest that pits down-on-their-luck citizens against each other in a series of deadly children’s games, which take place in a hidden arena on a forested island.
An animatronic doll plays an important role in the first game
Here, the contestants compete to the death in six classic kids’ games – including Tug of War and a version of Red Light, Green Light featuring a giant animatronic doll – to win a final prize of 45.6 billion won (£28.1 million).
Many of the gaming arenas, which were built from scratch with sparing use of CGI, were designed as oversized versions of real playgrounds to make the actors experience the spaces as if they were small children, according to the show’s director Hwang Dong-Yuk.
“I tried to simulate the atmosphere of real playgrounds,” said Hwang in a Netflix interview. “I thought those kinds of sets can give more of a sense of reality to the actors’ performance.”
The second game takes place in an oversized playground
A more elaborate set was created for the fourth game, called Marbles, which takes place in a recreation of a traditional Korean neighbourhood.
“We put the most effort into that set,” said art director Chae Kyoung-Sun. “It took so much time – our main concern was how to display the sunset. We thought it should be a set on the border of fake and real.”
The actors “felt real fear” when crossing a glass bridge
The set design for the show was carefully calculated to evoke feelings in the actors that would translate to their performances, Hwang said.
A glass bridge used for the fifth game was made from real glass and, although it wasn’t set above an abyss like in the show, the actors behaved as if it was.
“A mere 1.5 metres can make you frightened,” said Hwang. “The glass made them nervous. I think we could express the unnoticed rigidity and fear of the body.”
“It felt like really jumping off a high bridge, the game was real and they felt real fear,” he added. “We think that set had the power of realism.”
Squid Game’s set design is neatly tied together at the end of the show, with the final game taking place on the same set as the very first one. This was a deliberate choice by art director Chae.
“The first and last game are played in the same spot,” she said. “We focused on the place’s fairytale-like, somewhat uncanny feelings. That’s how we finished the last game.”
Sets designed “to look cute and sweet”
As well as the elaborate sets used for the gaming arenas themselves, art director Chae also created the areas where the players live while waiting for the games, and a surrealist, maze-like staircase that they travel up and down to get to them, which is painted in playful pastel yellow and pink hues.
The staircase evokes the designs of Spanish architect Ricardo Bofill, as well as the trompe l’oeuil levels in video game Monument Valley, but was actually informed by artist MC Escher’s engravings.
The colourful designs of the sets were chosen as a contrast to the way these kinds of games would normally have been depicted.
“Death games commonly take place in terrifying, horrible places,” Hwang said in a Q&A.
Instead, he and Chae aimed to make the sets “look cute and sweet, as a place to trigger nostalgia.”
Characters presented “like objects on warehouse shelves”
In contrast, the contestants’ living area – a vast space filled with bunk beds – was designed to have the feel of a warehouse.
“Since modern society is constant competition to climb the ladder, we thought about portraying that in the bed design,” Chae said in an interview with Netflix Korea. “We needed an impactful object so we took the ladder form.”
The contestants live in a warehouse-informed room
“Rather than treating them like people, [Chae] suggested the contestants be presented like objects, piled on the warehouse shelves,” added director Hwang.
Since it launched in September, Squid Game has become Netflix’ biggest-ever hit, and has been screened by 111 million viewers globally.

After a tiring week at work, with the weekend joyfully looming ahead of me, I often find myself fantasizing about a short sweet getaway! Just a few days away from my hectic life, and this hectic world, in a bubble of my own, where all my worries are nowhere to be seen. The pandemic may restrict my actual traveling plans, but it definitely cannot restrict my daydreams about vacations! Jetsetting on a flight may not be a practical option right now, but I do think Camping is a plausible plan. Although camping does have a few downsides too! I mean, you have to get down and dirty, live life on the road, and tackle the moodiness of the elements. In such a scenario, having a set of trustworthy and handy camping products can make a world of difference! Having the right products by your side can make your life much easier during those crucial moments. From an adorable avocado-shaped glamping tent to a rooftop cargo box equipped with a solar panel, we’ve curated some fun and functional camping product designs for you. Enjoy!
You can find these unique tents in the Borgloon forest in Belgium if you are looking for a safer alternative to the usual touristy destinations post the pandemic. In fact, it has gained attention only now when people are looking to camp outdoors because it is safer, won’t require you to fly, is budget-friendly, and avoids crowds. Designed by the Dutch artist Dre Wapenaar, these ‘Tranendreef’ tree tents blend architecture and sculpture into one functional structure. The tent is suspended above the ground and basically hangs on the tree like fruit. The guests use a ladder to get inside/outside. It can host two adults and two small children. Originally installed as part of a public art project called ‘Pit’ (hence the avocado shape we assume) organized by Z33, it brought art into the public space of Borgloon. The designer also created ‘field furniture’ – seating, washing, toilet, and BBQ units to complete the camping site with the tents.
Grüezi Bag wanted to create a fully natural sleeping bag that respected nature while you enjoy nature! Wool is insensitive to moisture and regulates the sleeping climate in the bag. “In DownWool we combine the good properties of down and wool. All individual parts on the sleeping bag are OEKOTEX certified. At the end of its long life, the sleeping bag can be completely composted,” says the team. Thanks to its organic materials, it feels cozy and soft just like the traditional sleeping bags but without the negative impact on the environment. The down ensures cozy insulation and the wool works like natural air-conditioning. Thanks to its overlapping design, it can be opened entirely making it super easy to get in and out of the bag. You can adjust the width if you need more space and it also features a pillow pocket.
The camping gear comprises solar-powered independent items that are designed primarily for conscious travelers who want to camp in the wilderness with little or no impact on the environment whatsoever. The highlight of the gear is the smokeless camping fire pit, which is portable, lightweight, and easy to set up. Other accessories comprising the Elves include a coffee brewer, tableware, and hanging lights. Made with the idea to give your camping a glamping lift – sans environmental impact, the glamorous camping accessories have a sensory appeal and are all powered by clean energy. Yes, everything from the tripod-style fire pit to the drip coffee brewer and the hanging pendant lights to tableware is powered by the sun.
An exquisite carrying option worth every type of off-road vehicle, the durable CBX Solar with trail-ready aesthetics features an integrated solar panel for charging up to two portable devices when you’re off-the-grid. The premium Yakima cargo box with its interesting blend of modern outlook and functionality features 2 USB ports that can help charge anything from portable devices to camping gear with a USB port. For the adventurers keeping track, this solar cargo box boasts an angular finish and stealth-like texture on the outside and on the inside offers 16 cubic feet of cargo space. This space is ample to suck in tents, sleeping bags, camping gear, or anything else you have to throw into it. A removable torque limiting knob helps fasten the cargo box to the roof rails securely, while a dual-sided opening makes the box really easy to reach out from either side of your vehicle.
Breaking the shackles of mainstream travel trailer design and purposefulness is the Happier Camper HC1 which is one of the most versatile campers on the road thanks to its modular floor and a big hatch. It has an adaptive interior setup called Adaptiv system, comprising of six different components that fix into the floor like LEGO and make the modularity possible. These include a bench, kitchenette, table, cushion, floor panel, and lid. You can slot the components into place for a wide variety of interior layouts or even use these components as outdoor furniture sitting by the campfire or for outdoor cooking fun. The camper can also be left empty for hauling cargo if needed, which is a good added utility.
A portable light source is essential for every hiker or camper, especially during those dark hours. It can be a valuable protector, revealing dangerous/poisonous critters on the ground or sending an SOS signal if you are injured. The designers behind this product seemed to understand this importance. The Solarpill is a pendant-sized solar-powered lighting device that can attach to your body or almost any surface in the wild. How? The white half of the pill has a hole where you can thread a rope through to make a keychain or necklace. That part is also a cap, that when removed, reveals a needle-like stake that can be embedded into trees or soft rocks along your path. Igneous isn’t it? This ability to poke the light into any surface comes especially handy when we need to work hands-free, be it to cut some rope or while relieving ourselves while outdoors.
The Tego Adventure Kit takes the format of the roll-up toolkit and transforms it into something much more polished, and infinitely versatile. The very basic framework of the bag lies in its different modules – or sets of mesh-lined pockets – that are all differently designed to carry different things. Whether you’re using them to carry tools or toothbrushes, grooming equipment or charging cables, or just about any small item, the Tego Adventure Kit gives you different modules to easily organize, store, and separate them based on your need.
Meet WAMP, a camping cooking pot made from ultra-durable duralumin material, ideal for campers who value multiple uses of things they stuff in the backpack. Although a pretty basic utensil, this solves a very useful purpose. You can put it on top of any oil lantern to employ the heat dissipated to good use. Case-in-point, heating or keeping the food warm without expending any extra energy. Be it cooking piping hot canned food or preparing energy-boosting tea on a long trip to the mountains. This camping instant pot makes complete sense as it employs the lantern heat in the range of 200 – 300 degrees Celsius to judicious use. After all, out in the wild everything is at a premium – energy reserve in particular.
Cha Hongkun, a designer from China has pondered over tweaking the design of a portable light to an extent where it addresses an even wider array of activities. Cha calls it the “Ray” – an outdoor accompanying portable light with a never before seen form factor. It’s essentially a wide strap that can be hooked onto your bike, backpack, or anything one can think of. It goes without saying – Ray is an outdoor essential accessory that’ll never let you down. The ease of use and portable credentials make it one accessory I would want in my absolute essentials for a trip anywhere. The portable LED light can be charged with a USB-C compatible power bank or via a wall outlet. What’s got me hooked on here is the cool choice of colors the designer has penned for Ray.
Inspired by living life on the edge and documenting travels along the way, the iCam Pro was conceptualized using top-grade technology fit for the adventure seeker who isn’t about to be held back by limiting camera setbacks. Equipped with Apple’s A12Z Bionic Chip, the concept of iCam Pro boasts lightning-fast feedback and the same power efficiency we’ve all come to expect from Apple. In addition to its ultra-fast microchip, the iCam Pro comes outfitted with LiDAR sensors, an advancement in camera technology that fills out Apple’s camera to take videography to another level. LiDAR sensors essentially use remote sensing to examine the Earth’s surface, and all of its nooks and crannies to deliver photos that are as close to the real thing as you can get from phone cameras. In a similar vein, a 12 MP ultra-wide sensor expands the camera’s view to deliver fuller photos, while the iCam Pro’s 22 MP wide camera captures crystal clear colors for more realistic documentation.
What do you get when a Tron bike mates with a Tesla electric bike? It has to be this stunner designed for straight-line speed.
While my analog might not go well with a few, let’s stay put with the design aspect of the Dust Tesla concept electric motorcycle designed by Nazar Eisa. Draped in a completely metallic finish, the bike is destined to have time-traveled from the dystopian future. The clear geometric lines and the definitive aerodynamic build will put most of the other Tesla bike concepts to shame. It is that sexy!
The long wheelbase of the Dust Tesla defies the structural stability, but hey, it has arrived from the future, where technologies are definitely beyond our comprehension. Those hubless wheels and the swingarm on the electric bike evoke a sense of dynamism which is hard to give a miss. The sharp lines flowing from the front of the bike to the rear bring a profound sense of superhero’s favored accomplice-like feel at first glance.
The designer models the electric bike in two variants – one in a complete black hue and the other in contrasting one with silver finish and matte black inserts to lend overall depth to the design. I still can’t get over the long-wheelbase which hints at the bike’s drag racing character. The ground clearance is quite low, in fact so low you will struggle to slip through a rim of paper under it. So, don’t expect it to take on the twisty tracks of the Moto GP calendar.
Just imagine the Dust Tesla parked by your Cybertruck’s side in the mansion’s garage. When the night hits, you take it out for a stint on the freeway, as the wind cuts through your hair. It goes without saying, this Tesla concept bike is going to be every automotive enthusiast’s dream come true. Now if you’ll pinch me, I want to get back to reality and stop daydreaming about riding this beautiful monster on the outskirts of my city limits!
While there’s no page numbers, these do look suspiciously like pages of a book. If anyone knows that it is, please let us know so I can link back to it.
Those are elastic “chair bands” sold by Amazon retailer Ozio, and they’re intended for schoolkids with ADHD, ADD, autism, and/or SPD (Sensory Processing Disorder). Essentially, the child can freely fidget with the bands with their feet during class, which the retailer says helps promote calmness and increases attentiveness.
Assuming these work as advertised, it’s a great, and economic, use of materials. At fifteen bucks for fifteen bands, it’s a low-cost add for any special needs classroom, and installation’s a breeze.
