Agbaria House

This home in Tel Aviv, Agbaria House, is a pared down, minimalistic rendition of traditional Islamic architecture. Designed by Tel Aviv architectRon Fleisher, it combines the rich, lush element of the mashrabiya screens with simple, elegant lines of modernist architecture.

The house maintains certain typical building elements, like high vents for natural ventilation, high vaulted ceilings, and the traditional liwan, around which the private areas of the house are arranged, all the while adapted to contemporary needs and a simple, geometric aesthetic.

Eve

Eve is the futuristic white robot from the successful animation movie Wall-E, created by Pixar in 2008.

Eve is absolutely seamless: one single body without edges. All its technology is beautifully hidden inside.

You may recognize some Apple influences, and if so, you are very right: Apple’s lead designer Jonathan Ive participated in Eve’s design.

The D-Premier

What at first glance looks like the sleekest of weighing scales, the D-Premier is actually a piece of high-end, hifi kit.

This wall-mountable unit, produced by French audiophiles Devialet, comprises of both stereo pre- and power amplifiers and a DAC.

It packs 480 watts of power and connects to a number of multimedia devices via HDMI, Toshlink, XLR and RS-232 ports among others. It is also wifi compatible. There’s obviously a lot of tech packed in under the under the hood.

Circus

Inspired by “the playfulness of the big top” industrial designer Stephen Burks, founder of the New York studio Readymade Projects, created a hand-made shelving system. Burks – considered to be one of the most recognized American industrial designers of his generation – is with his studio responsible for creative direction and industrial design on projects ranging from retail interiors, events, packaging, consumer products and lighting.

The idea is simple; each unit includes up to eight steel, colorful, wired cages that can plugged in easily into the oak surfaces. This makes the shelving unit is easy to (dis-)assemble without any tools.

Circus, manufactured by Mattermade, is available in a 1, 2 or 3 shelves edition.

Poles Apart

London Metropolitan University graduate Adrian Bergman has designed Poles Apart – a modular retail display system. Each unit is assembled using rubber o-rings as its only additional fastenings. The units are free from any glue and are constructed from ash and plywood.

O house

Located in the ancient japanese city of Kyoto, the O house by Hideyuki Nakayama architecture is a kind of lean-to structure extending from a main 2-storey house.

Shadow Chair

This Shadow Chair is a design of Chris Duffy of Duffy London, a British design firm producing furniture, lighting and interior products.

At first glance, this chair seems to defy gravity, by standing upright while only having two front legs.

It is only on closer inspection that you see that the shadow is part of the chair, and made from steel, which is attached to a metal frame built inside the chair: the chair is resting on its own shadow.
