Hasta La Ideas

Being stuck at home during the pandemic really did teach us a few lessons. One, being, that you can actually do a lot at home, especially in your backyard! It definitely made us realize we shouldn’t underestimate our backyards, they can be locations of major fun, recreation, and relaxation…depending on how we do them up. You can turn your backyard into an ideal date spot for you and your partner, or host a barbecue party! We’ve curated a collection of furniture designs to help you transform these exciting ideas into a reality. These designs will turn your yard into the ultimate relaxation destination. We bet you won’t want to step out of your yard, once you introduce these furniture pieces to it. From a reimagined picnic table to a minimal Scandinavian outdoor chair that will weather over time – these furniture pieces will majorly transform your humble backyard.

1. The Mass Table

Designed by Australian designer Alexander Lotersztain for Derlot, the Mass Table is what you would get if you reimagined and recreated the stereotypical and, to be honest pretty boring picnic table.

Why is it noteworthy?

Alexander took the typical picnic table and transformed it into a unique flat-packed table in an almost fluorescent yellow color. Made from a sturdy combination of powder-coated steel and aluminum, the Mass table is ideal for both indoors and outdoors.

What we like

• The designer drew inspiration from the iconic garden table and used it as a visual reference to design the Mass table. The table was designed to be minimal, sturdy, and contemporary

What we dislike

• Can be used indoors, but we don’t think it would be a suitable fit

2. The Bungalow Luggage

Whether you’re backpacking, planning on fishing, or want to spend time at the lake, foldable and easy-to-carry furniture is definitely going to be on your top priority list. A collapsible furniture range that is relatively luxurious, ultra-lightweight, and packs up into a travel trolley you can tote after you; the Bungalow Luggage by designer Eunsol Lee sets the stage for unique camping experiences.

Why is it noteworthy?

There is no shortage of foldable camping chairs and tables out there. You could even pick a set of tables and chairs off the shelf but this idea of a portable furniture set has its own merits. Unlike the other metal rod collapsible furniture for the outdoors, this one designed for National Geographic is convenient to transport. Just fold up the two chairs and the table into their bags and the trio sits evenly inside a suitcase you can lug along. This ease of portability also comes in handy when you want to fit the furniture in the car’s boot.

What we like

• Packed in a travel trolley-style sturdy case
• The metal spokes aligned as hollow table legs become the base for a wooden plank tabletop

What we dislike

• Seems uncomfortable for extended sitting hours

3. The Bello! Bench

Fjetland designed the Bello! bench for the aluminum producer Hydro. And what was his muse for this piece? You got it right – pasta, or to be more precise penne rigate!

Why is it noteworthy?

Informed by the design and form of pasta, the Bello! bench is a versatile piece of furniture that can be used indoors and outdoors. It’s been created from nearly ninety percent recycled and hundred percent recyclable aluminum.

What we like

• Aluminum was the material of choice for Bello!, this instantly makes the bench sturdy, strong, and durable and not to mention lightweight

What we dislike

• The shape of the bench is opposite to what we usually have, ergonomically speaking, which makes it difficult for sitting comfortably and could lead to a slipping sensation

4. Foldable Lander

Power stations help us carry electricity to the outdoors, tactical EDC helps us service in life-threatening situations, and chairs like the Foldable Lander make sitting much more comfortable in the outdoors.

Why is it noteworthy?

Designed to be compact and lightweight, the Foldable Lander measures a little over 13 inches in length when closed and weighs 2.8 lbs. Open it up, however, and it transforms into a comfortable chair with a backrest, capable of taking up to 100x its weight.

What we like

• Bases itself on the principles of origami and the design of the Moon Lander’s four-legged landing mechanism
• Compact enough to strap to your backpack and weighs less than a 6-pack of beer

What we dislike

• Lack of multiple colour options

5. TableBag

For this year’s Milan Design Week, McDonald’s released a limited edition TableBag which serves as not just your takeout box but can also be turned into an outdoor table, provided you have a post to place it on.

Why is it noteworthy?

The takeout box doesn’t look like the usual one you get from the fast food chain. In fact, it is pretty big considering that you will turn it into a sort of table. Once you’ve unfolded your cardboard tabletop, it’s enough to fit in two sets of burgers and fries and cup holders for a pair of drinks as well. When you’re done using it as a table, you can bring it to a recycle bin since the entire thing is fully recyclable.

What we like

• Recyclable + sustainable design

What we dislike

• If you’re expecting this table top to be available at the McDonald’s near you, sorry to say that these were only for a few, lucky people who ordered through their app in Milan

6. The Chair-A

The Chair – A can be “half folded” into a form that almost resembles a “jigae” or a traditional Korean carrying tool. It is practically a frame that lets you load more things on your back without having to cram them into your backpack or have them dangling precariously from bags.

Why is it noteworthy?

This kind of tool has been used to easily transport loads of firewood, and its design hasn’t really changed at all in the past centuries. This chair, however, applies an A-frame design that makes the carrier look a bit more aesthetic while also providing more stability.

What we like

• It folds completely flat so that it can be conveniently stored in cramped spaces
• The arms do help shift the weight a bit to prevent strain and injury

What we dislike

• Not very comfortable for prolonged use because of the fabric seat
• Absence of a backrest

7. Plint

Italian design studio Pastina created Plint, a collection of urban furniture for Punto Design. Pastina describes Plint as “more than just a street bench”, and I wholeheartedly agree. The colorful and quirky pieces of this collection are a far cry from the dreary brown benches, we often see scattered around cities.

Why is it noteworthy?

Plint plays with diverse materials, geometrics, and visual perceptions, highlighting the interesting contrasts between them. This makes Plint anything but boring!

What we like

• The base is modular, hence allowing each piece to be used individually, or to be combined with other pieces to create compositions of various lengths

What we dislike

• The ridges on the surface help trap dust easily, which is a problem for outdoor/public furniture design

8. The PINCH Chair

Designed by Medium2 Studio, the PINCH chair is your typical and traditional plastic chair with a major redesign.

Why is it noteworthy?

Plastic stackable chairs are a pretty common sight these days, you see them almost everywhere, and you have been seeing them for ages galore. They’re practical and convenient, although they aren’t the most sustainable. However, Medium2 Studio decided to give the plastic chair a new look, creating a unibody and completely stackable plastic chair.

What we like

• New and improved version of the traditional plastic chair

What we dislike

• Not a sustainable option

9. The Böste Lounge Chair

Designed by Stefan Borselius for the Swedish furniture company Skargaarden, the Böste lounge chair is a minimal and sturdy lounge chair that is designed to weather over time

Why is it noteworthy?

The lounge chair is named after the designer’s hometown in Southern Sweden. It is inspired by the classic Westport Chair and is in fact, a Scandinavian version of it. The form of the chair is pretty unique, with the back and seat meeting at an interesting angle, which invites and welcomes users to sit in a gently reclined pose which is great for relaxing and socializing with family and friends.

What we like

• Features a separate footrest that allows users to lie down fully and comfortably
• Built using sustainably sourced teak

What we dislike

• Aesthetically quite similar to other outdoor chairs on the market

10. Transforming Table

Sporting an industrial aesthetic with its powder-coated stainless steel and aluminum construction, the transforming table offers an environment that can quickly adapt to the owners’ needs.

Why is it noteworthy?

On the one hand, it functions as a standing table that creates an atmosphere conducive to quick discussions and meetings. On the other hand, it can also be a place for more relaxed conversations, with friends or families lounging over meals. You could, of course, also have only one side of the table opened with the two seats, leaving the other side free for wood, work, or other things.

What we like

• The top of the standing table opens up in the middle and folds backward to reveal benches that can seat two people on each side

What we dislike

• Transporting the table indoors and outdoors doesn’t seem too easy

Rough textures and vernacular elements define this weekend home, which Indian studio Taliesyn has added to a streetside site in Bangalore.

Named The Cabin House, the home was informed by the vernacular architecture of South Bangalore’s Jayanagar neighbourhood and was designed to maximise the site’s connection to nature.

“Embracing a quiet reflection of modern lifestyle and vernacular nuances, the design was developed from a simple brief of experiencing nature at close quarters,” Taliesyn co-director Mahaboob Basha told Dezeen.

“It extended from the design brief of a weekend home within the humdrum of the city but was designed to invoke feelings of relaxation and rejuvenation.”

Accessed by a short ramp, The Cabin House is separated from the street by a concrete wall that borders a garden, where the home sits on a low stone platform surrounded by jackfruit and mango trees.

Offering a space for outdoor living, the garden draws upon the typical arrangement of traditional homes in the area, which were usually small buildings with large gardens.

“The semi-outdoor space in the front of the house – katte– would traditionally serve for a morning coffee or an evening rendezvous with neighbours,” said studio co-director Shalini Chandrashekar.

“Furthermore, most homes were modest in size, with a huge front yard with trees and plants which were both ornamental and essential, and were close to nature and echoed the presence of people within.”

Inside, the studio aimed to reflect the colours of a sunset with earthy finishes and tones, including a range of red-toned elements and cement coatings.

The home’s interior was designed to be as open as possible, with a double-height kitchen, living, and dining area acting as the central space of the home and warm-toned furniture arranged throughout.

“The fixed furniture is mostly birch ply, and the rest of the furniture around the house is ash wood cultivated in organised forests,” said Chandrashekar. “The finishes are all in situ to reduce the carbon footprint.”

Towards one end of the main space, a red staircase offers access to the mezzanine level and extends into a long built-in bench that wraps around the length of the dining space.

An arched opening is cut out of the staircase with a curved wooden door that separates the living and dining space from the kitchen.

“The cynosure of the design – highlighted in terracotta red colour – is the linear seater, also known as ‘khatte’, that melds into the main staircase and further extends out as an archway,” said Basha.

“We have used this architectural expression to be the main character in Cabin House – it acts central to all conversations.”

A mezzanine hangs over the double-height living area, where the master bedroom is located. The bathroom sits underneath the mezzanine and features a cast concrete basin with views of the surrounding garden and a walk-in wardrobe.

“The hierarchy of spaces sensitively addresses privacy through variations in levels and soft barriers of the landscape,” said Basha. “For instance, a horizontal opening in the washroom allows the user to constantly have nature on the horizon, while offering the required privacy through its placement.”

Elsewhere in Bangalore, Taliesyn recently completed its own office using unfinished materials and a discarded shipping container and a home with open-air living spaces that connect to the tropical surroundings.

The Dezeen team have been reporting from the 18th international architecture biennale in Venice, curated by Lesley Lokko. Read on for all the coverage from the third and final day (Friday 19 May)

5:30pm Ahead of the official presentation ceremony tomorrow morning, Dezeen digital editor Rupert Bickersteth spoke to Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement-winner Demas Nwoko.

The Nigerian-born artist, designer and architect, when asked about the challenge for the future of architecture in Africa said “I don’t see any positive attributes to the architecture that Europe brought to Africa. Nothing has been built yet [in Africa].”

He continued “it would be too much to think that the people who brought us to this impoverished state are the ones who are going to volunteer to repair it”.

The full interview will be published next week.

5:00pm The Estonian pavilion at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale is a rental apartment with a live-in actor who is performing daily rituals to explore the challenges of home ownership.

Titled Home Stage, the exhibition challenges the contradiction of a home being both a living space and a piece of real estate.

For nine months, different actors will each spend a month living in the apartment, carrying out both scripted and unscripted performances that explore tensions between these two functions.

3:00pm Dezeen’s architecture editor Lizzie Crook caught up with Sámi-Norwegian architect Joar Nango at the Nordic Pavilion, where he is exhibiting his archive of books that he has collected over 15 years exploring Indigenous architecture.

His hope for the exhibition is to give a platform to, and raise awareness of, the architecture of Sámi people, which he believes is typically presented in a “folkloristic way” or “erased from the whole narrative”.

“Sami architecture is something that we need to talk about, we need to understand what it is and to create a social network around it, we need to dive deeper into it, we need many people involved in it,” he told Dezeen.

“The architect, as a field, needs to learn to listen more to the nuances in the cultural complexity of things, and the importance of also landscape resources around us.”

For him, the highlight of the exhibit is a table placed at its centre. It is made of a stone from the old floor of the Nordic Pavilion, elevated on stone salvaged from the facade of the US Pavilion and covered with reindeer skin.

“For me, taking something coincidentally found on the site, giving it care and love, and lifting it up to become something important is architectural and material poetry,” he said.

“For me, this carries a lot of stories about how to build and how to relate to the material world.”

More on the Nordic Pavilion to follow.

1:00pm While waiting to interview Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement-winner Demas Nwoko, Dezeen digital editor Rupert Bickersteth spoke with Pritzker Prize-winning Francis Kéré.

Kéré, commenting on Lesley Lokko’s “Laboratory of the Future” biennale, said “the dialogue between pavilions and the way they have all embraced and explored the theme together is very impressive”.

Demas Nwoko exclaimed “now I can die as happy man” as Kéré knelt before him and then embraced him.

Stay tuned for more to come following the interview with Nwoko.

11:30am Dezeen digital editor Rupert Bickersteth is in attendance at the World Economic Forum’s symposium launching the Davos Baukultur Alliance.

What is needed is a level of unprecedented collaboration

The alliance was created to accelerate the adoption of high-quality “baukultur” to help tackle the pressing challenges facing communities across the globe, most notably the growing cost of living crisis.

“Baukultur” is shorthand for the preservation and development of quality, sustainable and culturally relevant buildings and cities.

“What is needed is a level of unprecedented collaboration,” said Holcim‘s Cédric de Meeûs during a panel discussion as he called for architects, engineers, data scientists, sustainability experts, policy makers and the energy sector – among others – to come together to advance baukultur.

MASS Design Group‘s Christian Benimana gave a presentation where he talked about how “most of our buildings cannot help us in a pandemic, as Covid-19 showed us” and how learning from the pandemic must positively influence future design practice.

Pritzker Prize winner Alejandro Aravena of Elemental also presented.

The Davos Baukultur Alliance has been launched by Switzerland and the World Economic Forum as a multi-stakeholder global alliance dedicated to advancing quality design and construction of more sustainable and vibrant communities.

11:00am This morning, the Serpentine and Bloomberg Philanthropies hosted the Webs of Architecture panel discussion at the Biennale Library. Dezeen architecture editor Lizzie Crook was in attendance.

Moderated by Swiss art curator Hans Ulrich Obrist, it saw architects Norman Foster, film director Liam Young, David Adjaye, Lina Ghotmeh and Sumayya Vally come together with Golden Lion-winner Demas Nwoko to discuss the past, present and future of architecture.

Adjaye praised Nwoko for his work and told the audience how he is directly referencing his design of the Benin theatre in the Edo Museum of West African Art, which will sit beside each other.

“[Nwoko’s work] just resonates so powerfully with some of the concerns of my generation that we are now picking up,” said Adjaye. “The [Benin theatre] is a very direct influence on the project that I’m making,” Adjaye continued.

“It’s not in use right now but we’re very much fighting with the city to restore the project.”

Nwoko concluded the conversation by explaining how he believes the future of architecture should be about humans learning to reconnect.

“I think the future is about regaining that humanistic thought that we’re losing fast,” he said.

“We must reconnect again,” he continued. “We’ve lost our place to the machine.”

10:30am The simplest of structures, such as tents and huts, can teach architects lessons, British architect Norman Foster said in an exclusive interview with Dezeen architecture editor Lizzie Crook at the Venice Architecture Biennale.

Read the interview now: “Architecture without architects” can teach valuable lessons says Norman Foster

Speaking to Dezeen at the Ca’di Dio hotel in Venice, Foster said that basic buildings that are created without architects, constructed with local materials and with passive design strategies can all serve as valuable reference points for the industry.

10:00am Also from last night, Dezeen editor-at-large Amy Frearson attended an event titled “Imagining the Future of the Museum: A Conversation with David Adjaye and Glenn Lowry”.

The conversation focused on the Kiran Nadar Museum of Art (KNMA), designed by Ghanaian-British architect David Adjaye in collaboration with local studio S Ghosh & Associates​.​

I am African, a common theme in all my work is the way in which you create a path

KNMA is set to be India‘s largest cultural centre when it​ ​opens in Delhi in 2026. ​The ​​unveiling of a ​model of ​the​ ​project​ is​ part of the curator’s special projects at the biennale​ this year​.

​When asked how he imagines the journey of visitors through the spaces he designs, David Adjaye said “I am African. A common theme in all my work is the way in which you create a path”.

“I want to create paths that are not just about the need of circulation, but are about the kind of delight to discover it,” he continued.

Echoing the wider theme of the biennale’s “Laboratory of the Future” curated by Lesley Lokko, Adjaye reflected “I’ve sort of moved back to Africa, and that’s really important to me. In a way I still feel like Africa is emerging and finding its own voice and identity.”

The​ KNMA museum ​will ​cover​ more than 100,000 square metres​ exhibiting over 10,000 pieces​,​ and will host changing exhibitions, permanent displays, and performances​ from across the​ visual arts, music, dance, and theatre.​

​Other museums designs by Adjaye Associates include​ Liverpool’s International Slavery Museum and Maritime Museum, the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture and Princeton University Museum.

9:00am Following the ribbon cutting at the British Pavilion yesterday afternoon, celebrations continued at the opening reception for “Dancing in the Moon” – the title of the exhibition at the pavilion.

Welcome, validate, celebrate

Hosted in the 10th century Chiesetta della Misericordia, featuring a facade restored in 1659, contemporary projections and coloured lighting illuminated the space.

Dezeen digital editor Rupert Bickersteth spoke to curator and senior lecturer in architecture at Central Saint Martins Shumi Bose, who curated the British pavilion at the 15th Venice architecture biennale with Jack Self and Finn Williams.

Bose told Dezeen that the biennale was “full of joy” and that she stood at the ribbon cutting yesterday, seven years after she was holding the scissors, in tears at the celebration of diversity representing the UK in Venice.

“Welcome, validate, celebrate – that’s been the message of this year’s biennale. It has been wonderful to see the access that so many have had this year to exhibit their talents in conversation and collaboration with their peers.”

You can read about everything that happened yesterday (18 May) here: Day two from Venice Architecture Biennaleand everything from the first day (17 May) here: Day one from Venice Architecture Biennale.

The Venice Architecture Biennale takes place from 20 May to 26 November 2023. See Dezeen Events Guide for all the latest information you need to know to attend the event, as well as a list of other architecture and design events taking place around the world.

Small enough to fit on your keychain, this tactical tool can get you out of a variety of hot messes. The Bladeclip features an all-titanium handle, with a quick-deploy interchangeable blade that always has you ready for any indoor or outdoor cutting action. Machined into the titanium handle is also a unibody carabiner clip with clever design detailing, a bottle opener, a keychain ring, and a window breaker that covers quite a few responsibilities of a good multitool. To make things even more impressive, the Bladeclip measures a mere 3.2 inches (81mm) when closed, weighs just a little over 2 ounces (61 grams), and comes machined out of Grade 5 Titanium, giving you a multitool that’ll outlive you by a couple of decades without even showing signs of wear and tear.

Designer: 3 Peters

The Bladeclip is a good multitool that’s been executed brilliantly. Pocket blades with built-in bottle openers are a dime a dozen, but the Bladeclip’s design direction shows a clever appreciation of detailing, material choices, and even user experience all along. Every part of the Bladeclip feels well-made, and every corner of it is executed flawlessly. For starters, the entire body of the Bladeclip comes machined from Grade 5 Titanium, giving it incredible durability while allowing it to be pretty lightweight. Its clever design reduces the number of moving parts too, so that your blade has fewer points of failure.

Activated by a clever flipper with a roller bearing, the BladeClip comes with a replaceable No.18 scalpel-style blade that you can either replace whenever needed, or swap out for any other standard scalpel blade. Made from surgical-grade steel, the blade offers high strength and anti-corrosion properties, while boasting of a blade sharp enough to whittle away at wood, slice paracord, or even through a seatbelt. The blade gets deployed with a simple flick of your thumb and stays open thanks to a liner lock mechanism. When the blade runs dull, instead of sharpening it, you can simply ditch it for a new blade, keeping your BladeClip going even when the going gets tough.

The side profile of the BladeClip gives you a brief overview of its other functions, including a bottle opener that lets you effortlessly crack open a brewski in the hot outdoors (or even indoors), and that brilliantly designed carabiner mechanism that’s machined right into the titanium itself. Right under the carabiner sits a window-breaker that lets you make a quick exit from a building or a car, or break into an emergency box to retrieve a first aid kit or fire extinguisher in a crisis.

The BladeClip’s carabiner quick-release clip has my heart for its ingenious design. Rather than building a spring-loaded arm into the carabiner, the BladeClip’s handle comes with a series of machined cuts that allow for the titanium to flex ever so gently, functioning as a spring-loaded arm that bends under pressure, but then shuts back with a satisfying click. The lack of a mini spring and of a separate arm makes the carabiner much more efficient from a manufacturing perspective, and also helps the BladeClip last longer and resist breakage. I won’t be surprised if this also becomes a nice fidget interaction that you’ll find yourself constantly playing with.

The genius series of cuts allows the BladeClip’s titanium arm to be flexible

The quick-release carabiner clip’s design also makes carrying the BladeClip really easy. While most pocket knives come with a dedicated pocket clip to help securely carry your EDC with you, the BladeClip ditches that for the versatile carabiner detail that straps to your belt, belt loop, or even your pocket. Couple that with its built-in keychain and you’ve got yourself a winning EDC on your hands… or in your pocket!

A look at the BladeClip’s flipper mechanism while deploying the blade

The BladeClip comes with ten standard No. 18 surgical blades, although it supports a variety of other blades too, from No. 19 to No. 26 scalpel blades. The blades are strong, sharp, and cheap, allowing you to easily replace them periodically. As far as replaceable add-ons go, there’s even space for a tiny tritium slot on the BladeClip’s body, although that’s available separately.

Each BladeClip sports a stone-washed finish and starts at $89, and for an extra $15, you can either have your BladeClip anodized with a matte black finish or get your name custom engraved on the handle, turning it into a true heirloom item that you can pass down to your great grand-children… Given its rugged titanium build, it’ll probably still look as good as new.

Briefly teased at CES 2023 this year, Sony finally lifted the cloth on the PS5’s Access Controller, designed for gamers with limited mobility. Previously known as Project Leonardo, this highly customizable controller was formally launched today, on World Disability Day, marking Sony’s commitment to making gaming more inclusive.  The Access Controller is more than a conventional controller – it’s a sophisticated, customizable accessibility controller kit, created in collaboration with accessibility experts. Sony’s intention is to enhance the gaming experience, particularly for players with disabilities.

The Access Controller’s announcement precedes what is believed to be Sony’s major summer event (given that E3 was canceled this year). We’re expecting to hear of new game titles and hardware announcements during this event, including the highly anticipated handheld version of the PS5 and possibly a PS5 Pro with liquid cooling.

Designer: Sony

With a highly customizable accessibility-focused design, the Access Controller can be used independently, or alongside Sony’s DualSense controller, giving people a wide range of possible use-cases. The controller comes with a disc-shaped design, surrounded by large, interchangeable, easy-to-press keys (as well as a central key) that can be custom-mapped, with easy-to-change disc-shaped tags on all of them for reference. A modular, adjustable joystick on one side acts as the user’s navigation input, like the joystick seen on most controllers.

The Access Controller design comes in collaboration with various accessibility experts, who helped create a controller that isn’t just easy to use, it also encourages longer gaming without feeling any fatigue. The controller offers button caps that come in a variety of shapes and designs, including pillow, flat, wide flat (covering two sockets), overhang (ideal for small-handed players, placed near the center), and curved (pushed from the top or pulled from the bottom) form factors.

To help players keep track of button assignments, the Access controller includes swappable button cap tags. It also offers versatility in positioning, as it can be laid flat, rotated, or attached to an AMPS mount or tripod. Additionally, the distance of the analog stick from the controller can be adjusted as per the player’s preference.

The controller works wirelessly, and sports a USB-C port for charging it or even using it in wired formats. Additionally, four 3.5mm inputs located around its sides let players integrate their own specialty switches, buttons, or analog sticks.

The launch of this controller brings new possibilities to the PS5 console, making the world of gaming more accessible. This represents a step towards gaming that caters to every player’s unique needs, further leveling the playing field. We’ve also seen similar efforts on the accessibility front from Microsoft, who unveiled their Xbox Adaptive Controller a few years ago, and even from startup Augmental, who launched their tongue-powered MouthPad wearable controller last month.
