Dezeen Showroom: design studio GamFratesi has designed the Miau wooden table for Japanese brand Koyori with softly rounded corners and a natural wood grain surface.
Available in oak or walnut, the Miau table has four gently tapered legs carved from solid wood to reveal the material’s grain.
The table complements Koyori’s Miau armchair
According to Koyori, the piece’s subtle curves at the top of the table legs and in the tabletop were intended to blend the parts together seamlessly.
“To connect the tabletop and legs seamlessly, each part requires precise cutting and high-precision joining technology,” said Koyori.
It is available in walnut or oak wood
The table was made without a beam between the legs, creating more room for users to sit and chairs to be placed.
“Less wood volume makes a lighter table,” said Koyori. “It is also a knock-down structure without the need for any fixing tools, which makes the table easy to assemble and transport.”
It forms part of the brand’s Miau furniture collection and complements the Miau wooden armchair.

Highlighting the intricacies of seasonality at Cape Cod’s only Relais & Châteaux member
Renowned for its sprawling sand dunes, pristine beaches and wealth of historic lighthouses, Cape Cod has become one of the most coveted vacation destinations in all of the northeastern United States—and while the region’s population swells to roughly 500,000 people during peak season, humans are far from the only residents found thriving along the coast. Mussels, oysters, scallops and lobsters are just a small portion of the marine life that calls the Bay State home, and for any visiting gastronomes hoping to gain some insight into Cape Cod’s world-famous food scene, there’s no better destination than Chatham Inn.
Equipped with eighteen lavish rooms operating within an 1830s-era lodge, this cozy venue has earned widespread acclaim since its debut in 2015, currently serving as the sole Relais & Châteaux member across all of Cape Cod. While the inn is equipped with a polished indoor wine bar and outdoor terrace complete with fire pits, Barnstable County’s crown jewel of fine dining exists in the form of Cuvée, a gorgeous marble-clad dining room located just past the lobby. This sophisticated space offers a seven-course tasting menu that changes with each day, crafted at the behest of executive chef Isaac Olivo to showcase the rich flavors of Cape Cod through the use of locally-sourced shellfish and fresh vegetables grown in the property’s outdoor garden.
Cape Cod’s thriving seafood scene has been drawing tourists for decades, but the region’s native marine life hangs in a delicate balance—a fact that Chatham Inn knows all too well. A Relais & Châteaux member since 2019, the property has been working in tandem with the organization to promote the sustainable harvest of seafood, with 2023 seeing the launch of the SEAsonality campaign. Crafted in partnership with Ethic Ocean for this year’s World Ocean Day, this educational initiative highlights the intricacies of “seasonality” within the seafood industry, stressing that the consumption of certain vulnerable species should be avoided even during “peak season” to allow their population to recover. Bluefin tuna, flatfish and European eel are just a few of the marine animals targeted by the campaign, but at Chatham Inn, oysters take center stage within the realm of sustainably-sourced seafood.
Long before European colonists laid claim to Massachusetts, the Bay State coast was blanketed with thick clusters of oysters, but intense demand throughout the 19th century caused Cape Cod populations to drop to dangerously low levels. Fortunately, the advent of aquaculture in the 1900s allowed local farmers to rear oysters for human consumption, providing wild populations with an opportunity to recover—and today, Chatham Inn serves as a champion for native shellfish regeneration, working with the longstanding Holbrook Oyster farm to ensure that all of their protein is produced as efficiently as possible without causing harm to the region’s biodiversity.
While Chatham Inn is a driving force for sustainably-sourced seafood across New England, they’re far from the only Relais & Châteaux member that’s aligned with the cause. Across the Atlantic, Restaurante Arzak works closely with the Basque fishing industry to prevent overconsumption of the European anchovy—a species that’s thriving today thanks to a five-year fishing ban from 2005 to 2010—while Hotel Bareiss is home to one of Germany’s most innovative fish farms, rearing multiple trout species for on-site consumption in a facility that was designed with animal welfare as a top priority.
For Cape Cod in particular, the surrounding seafood scene has vaulted the region to international stardom, and with seasonal residents and first-time tourists arriving en masse each summer, sustainability is a crucial aspect of the local economy that cannot be ignored. While overfishing has had devastating effects on marine life all across the eastern seaboard, not all hope is lost for creating a sustainable balance between humanity and our ocean’s native species. Lobsters, mussels, clams and oysters have thrived across the frigid waters of Cape Cod for millennia, and with sustainability-focused hotels like Chatham Inn at the helm, there’s renewed hope for the survival of these iconic creatures far into the distant future.
Discovering the event dedicated to design by exploring new meanings of “Auto-Exotic”
Now in its fourth edition, the Venice Design Biennial is a parallel event enriching the already busy first month of the Venice Biennale of Architecture. “Auto-Exotic” is the fair’s theme this edition, and curators Francesca Giubilei and Luca Berta selected Italian and international voices representing today’s design landscape, including unique pieces, independent productions, limited editions and art design. Auto-Exotic does not refer to exotic automobiles; instead it’s a conversation of the dichotomies of declining globalization and exotic cultures.
The principal exhibition takes place at SPARC* (Spazio Arte Contemporanea), alongside locations that prioritize unusual locations and unexplored corners of Venice. Several installations take place at the former beer brewery now home to SPUMA (Space for the Arts), the hyper-traditional Bocciofila San Sebastiano, and one of the beach cabins at the decadent Des Bains 1900 Luxury Beach Club on the Lido.
Among the dozens of projects and objects on display, the five projects below best summarize the spirit of the Design Biennial. The installation is open until 18 June 2023.

Studio Terre, “Rocco” wall decors, and “Mostrini” containers Slow design is the center of the work of Studio Terre, a young Italian firm creating unique pieces at the intersection of art and design. The installation at SPARC* features copper chains of different lengths covered with Murano glass beads and terracotta powder that can be freely used to decorate walls or hang in the middle of a room. Mostrini, on the other hand, is a collection of small glass and terra cotta containers creating warm reflections. They can be functional or decorative bowls, but similar to clouds can be seen in many different ways.
Studio Yongwon, “New Koreanism” Based in Eindhoven and Seoul, Yongwon Noh’s conceptual designs focus on the reinterpretation of contemporary Korean culture and its relationship with the past, the traumas of its history, and the relationship with cultural influences from abroad. With “New Koreanism,” he rethinks the visual culture of printed ads, banners, and fliers, often considered a constant and inevitable source of visual pollution. What if they became the base for a new Korean aesthetic? What if they become a new pattern for ancient Korean ceramics? For this project, Yongwon uses upcycled flyers and old ceramics, creating a message of environmental sustainability.
Studio Mau Mau, “The Thorn Bird Project” Dongzhu Li is the designer behind Studio Mau Mau, and she presents a pale green tent hiding a series of furniture and objects made with the same very light textile material. In an age of constant, wanted, or forced migrations, it is a critical reflection on how easy it is to build a home away from home, but which will always be as ephemeral and unstable as the one on display.
Lin Fanglu for Objective Gallery, “Elopement Rhapsody” Lin Fanglu is a Shanghai-based artist who constantly blends craftsmanship, art, and design. With “Elopement Rhapsody,” she put into practice the traditional Chinese tie-dye, learned directly from the Bai women of Zhoucheng village in Yunnan. The result is an almost impossible-to-use chair reminiscent of a sea creature. It is no coincidence that the curators decided to show it by the sea, inside cabin 26, which was part of the historic (and now abandoned) Hotel Des Bains in the Lido of Venice.

Chris Fusaro, “Pasta Persa” “Cera Persa Persa” in Italian means “lost wax.” This classic jewelry-making technique has become “Pasta Persa” in the hands of Chris Fusaro, an Italian-Canadian artist and industrial designer. A series of strainers, colanders, and trivets arises from experiments where pasta becomes the kitchenware. These unique hand-made pieces merge jewelry and foundry techniques creating completely functional sculptures.

British architecture firm Heatherwick Studio has revealed the design of West Bund Orbit exhibition centre in Shanghai, China, which will be wrapped in a series of curved balconies.
Currently being built on the West Bund waterfront in Xuhui District, the new exhibition hall will feature a series of interwoven “ribbons” that wrap around the main exhibition space.
These ribbons, which were informed by the form of traditional Chinese moon bridges as well as moving orbits, will be used as staircases, bridges, and terraces for the public.

“This is an exhibition hall designed to be explored and experienced,” said group leader at Heatherwick Studio Neil Hubbard.
“Rather than merely boxing up a gallery within an ornamental facade, the Orbit’s appearance will be animated by the people who visit it,” he continued.
“Its location on the bend of the river means it can be a real beacon for the area, drawing people in not just for the events it hosts but the whole of Shanghai West Bund.”
It will be wrapped in external stairs
The undulating forms of the ribbons will wrap the large exhibition space with full-height windows on the ground level giving views to the surrounding riverside park,
Stairs on the exterior of the building will take visitors to various levels of the exhibition hall, where the glazed window frame entrances.
The staircases lead to the roof, where many of the centres other supporting functions will be placed.
Along with a cafe, there will be an outdoor canopy that shelters people while allowing them to enjoy the views along the river.

The building, which is already under construction, will sit directly across the river from the Shanghai World Expo 2010, where Heatherwick Studio created the Seed Pavilion.
Black-painted wood clads the demountable Black Pavilion, a tent-like structure designed by architecture studio Buero Wagner to be flexible for a range of uses.
Currently installed in the grounds of Villa Massimo, home of the German Academy in Rome, Black Pavilion can be used as anything from an exhibition space to a bar.
Buero Wagner has created the demountable Black Pavilion
It is constructed with a structural wooden frame clad in black plywood panels, which is demountable and intended to be easily movable by five people or on a car trailer.
Munich-based Buero Wagner originally designed the structure in 2022 and it has since been used for a variety of exhibitions and events across Rome.
It is currently installed in the grounds of Villa Massimo in Rome
“The Black Pavilion was designed to be used as flexibly as possible,” explained the studio.
It can serve as an intimate exhibition space or be adapted into a bar-like structure with low tabletops by opening out hinged panels on the roof.
For performances and larger gatherings, the two halves of the pavilion can be separated entirely in order to frame an open space in between.
It is clad in black-painted wood
“For exhibitions, objects are placed on wooden pedestals between the support structure and illuminated through small circular openings in the roof surfaces,” explained Buero Wagner.
“With the roof surfaces folded out, a table-like area is created that can be used as a bar for cooking and eating, [and] in order to use the pavilion for larger events the sides can be placed with increased distance between each other,” it continued.
Small and large circular openings create an atmospheric interior to the pavilion, which is currently accessed through black curtains at either end made from repurposed roofing membrane.
Inside and out, the whole structure has been given a dark black finish. This was chosen for its ability to create a stark contrast to its surroundings, particularly when in more natural settings.
It is also painted black internally
“In conjunction with the dark tonality, a negative space is created inside, through which focused and, due to the lack of reflections in the interior, colour-intensified views are made possible,” described Buero Wagner.
“A change of perspective is made possible by the individual adjustment of size and type of view through the movable roof surfaces, [creating] ever new situations of light, view and space,” it continued.
It can be used for a variety of purposes
In summer, the pavilion will provide exhibition space for the Villa Massimo Art Festival before moving once again to a music festival at the Gasometro in Rome.
Hand-built and painted by Catherine Rex, a ceramicist, painter and creative behind Rex Design, the Oyster Plate exudes color and charm, courtesy of its ruffled edging and the rich details that make up each of its wells. The plate can hold eight oysters with a divot at the center for garnishes—though it can also be used as a platter for any dips, chips and spreads.
Fake tins, cartons and bottles line shelves in the Latvian Pavilion at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale, which takes the form of a supermarket where visitors are invited to reflect on past festivals.
A total of 506 unique brightly-coloured products stock the shelves of the fake grocery store, each modelled on exhibitions and national pavilions presented at the last 10 biennales.
Fake tins and cartons line shelves in the Latvian Pavilion
“Our core concept was to create a setting that allows visitors to engage and empathise with previous ideas presented by the authors of national pavilions in a globally recognised and comfortable environment – a supermarket-like atmosphere,” said curators Ernests Cerbulis and Uldis Jaunzems-Pētersons.
“By adopting a playful and entertaining approach, the Latvian Pavilion aims to capture visitor’s attention and focus on the large amounts of ideas produced by the architecture exhibition itself,” they told Dezeen.
They were designed with the help of artificial intelligence, which enabled the team to create all the products in a short time period while maintaining a consistent visual identity.
The products are all modelled on previous exhibits at the Biennale
Visitors are invited to engage with the pavilion in several ways. Firstly, they can select their favourite products off the shelves and “buy” them at a till before receiving a receipt at checkout. They can also pick their favourite exhibition from the previous ten by throwing a ball into openings in signage above shelves.
Or for those that can’t visit in person, the stock is all uploaded to view online at the pavilion’s website.
Visitors are invited to reflect on the event’s past
This year’s theme for the Venice Architecture Biennale is The Laboratory of the Future, which has been curated by architect Lesley Lokko. It primarily explores themes of decarbonisation and decolonisation.
According to Cerbulis and Jaunzems-Pētersons, the Latvian Pavilion is intended to offer “an archive within this laboratory”.
The products were designed with artificial intelligence
“The Latvian Pavilion provides an archive within this laboratory, featuring over 500 ideas from national participants,” the duo said.
“It’s not intended to be didactic or educational but rather to encourage personal reflection and interaction.”
This year’s biennale also placed a special focus on sustainability, with organisers targeting carbon neutrality.
Cerbulis and Jaunzems-Pētersons addressed this in their design of the Latvian pavilion, opting for cardboard as the primary material.
It is made entirely from cardboard
“The pavilion itself was made out of cardboard, and utilised, repurposed shopping mall equipment, helping to reduce material and building costs,” the duo said.
“After the closing of the exhibition, the cardboard will be recycled or reused, while the shopping mall equipment will be returned.”
Some elements were borrowed from real supermarkets
Other interactive pavilions at this year’s Venice Architecture Biennale include Korea, which takes the form of a quiz show-style game that focuses on social, political and economic issues.
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.
Danish architect Bjarke Ingels has collaborated with clothing brand Vollebak to design an entirely self-sufficient, off-grid island home in Nova Scotia, Canada.
Planned for an island within Jeddore Harbour, the house is designed to exemplify the clothing brand’s ideals and Ingels’ studio BIG‘s “philosophy of hedonistic sustainability”.
“Vollebak is using technology and material innovation to create clothes that are as sustainable and resilient as they are beautiful,” said Ingels.
“In other words, the fashion equivalent of BIG’s architectural philosophy of hedonistic sustainability. For Vollebak Island, we have imagined the rooms as a manmade mount of individual volumes rising out of the ground and a separate outpost at the edge of the breaking waves.”
Bjarke Ingels has designed a house on an island for Vollebak
“We wanted to bring their idea of ‘hedonistic sustainability’ down to the scale of a single family home,” added Vollebak co-founder Steve Tidball.
Ingels and Vollebak designed the house for Leader Island, which has been rebranded Vollebak Island. The team envisions the island as a sustainable retreat that could offer a “powerful vision of how we might live on Earth in a self-sustaining way”.
The island, along with Ingels’ designs that have full permissions to be built, is set to be auctioned next week by Sotheby’s Concierge Auctions.
It will have a thatch living room block
At the centre of the island will be the 597-square-metre home named Earth House, which consists of nine interconnected buildings arranged around a central courtyard.
The living block will be made entirely from thatch, while the four bedrooms will be made of fire-retardant hempcrete. A boathouse will be insulated with seaweed and a star-gazing room will be built from polished concrete.
Also connected to the home will be a greenhouse made entirely of glass brick and used to grow food for the island’s residents, and a Japanese-style bathhouse containing tubs cut from the island’s bedrock.
The home will be embedded in the island
“We’ve built clothing with everything from copper and algae to ceramics, minerals and graphene,” Tidball told Dezeen.
“But in clothing, there is a practical limit as everything you design has to work right next to a human body that’s always moving. So when you move into architecture more possibilities open up,” he continued.
“In this project, we are looking at materials that are both cutting-edge and ancient – from bedrock and thatch to seaweed and hempcrete. There’s a shared belief between Vollebak and BIG in the power of using innovative materials to solve some of the biggest challenges.”
Its roofs will be covered in planting
Alongside the main residence, the team has designed an eight-metre-high, triangular guest house on the island’s eastern shore. Named Wood House, the two-bedroom home would be built from wood felled on the island.
The houses on the island would be powered by a combination of geothermal energy, offshore wind and solar power, while the residents would grow all their own food. Tidball hopes that the island would be purchased by someone who wants to embrace a self-sufficient lifestyle.
“Vollebak Island is designed to be an extraordinary man-made ecosystem where everything you need for life is on the island,” he explained.
“So we expect Vollebak Island to be bought and built by someone who shares the vision we’ve created – someone who would be excited to see all their energy being generated in full view by the sun, earth, wind and ground around them, and who would like to see their crops growing in their greenhouse and on the planted roofs of all the buildings,” he continued.
“At the same time, it is also a proof of concept for BIG’s plan for the planet.”
Food will be grown in a glass-brick greenhouse
Tidball also hopes that elements from the project can be adapted and applied to other schemes around the world.
“There are three areas that we think Vollebak Island really explores in an interesting way that can be useful for other future-facing projects around the world,” he explained.
“The first idea is that we’re designing a family home that works entirely in harmony with nature – growing all its own food on the island, and using the ocean, wind, and earth around it to generate all the energy the island will need,” he continued. “So thinking about a small piece of land as its own entire ecosystem forces you to design in interesting ways.”
The island will contain a triangular guest house
“The second is designing an off-grid home on an island in Nova Scotia where the weather is very changeable, and you can have four seasons in a day. When you’re not guaranteed wall-to-wall sunshine you can’t ask solar to do all the work,” Tidball added.
“The third is how we’re looking at in situ utilisation and using the abundant wood, rock and seaweed on the island to help create the structures and buildings of the house.”
