Take a seat — Episode Chair by Apparatus Studio
I find New Year’s resolutions a rather strange tradition.

Let’s take getting in shape for example. The desire to be…

The NEO P1 by Neoplants
The term ground-breaking is one thrown around far too much these days, but the “product” I’m about to introduce is exactly that—quite literally too. While there has understandably been much focus on the macro-climate in recent times, there has perhaps been a bit too little on the micro-climate. By starting with the home, French bioengineering…

Welcome Home — Glenlivet’s New Crib

I think the root of that pain in change is in an urgency to…

I mean I’ve always had an eye for things I like in environments that I frequent, but what has developed is a more “tangible” personal connection with my surrounding space – and it appears that in that I’m not alone. While…

DESIGN | Limited-Edition Wenger Wishbone Chair
“Take a seat” Some of the most reassuring and unnerving words ever spoken, depending both on their context and environment. In this case it is most certainly the former, as the heritage and design language of a Wenger chair belies comfort, and if not at the very least respect. The ever-current Hans J. Wegner would…

The patinated sphere of brass rests upon a conical base, a base which in contrast to the cool brass…
