Design Week – November 2009
Check out the hottest new trends and objects gracing the design pages. Amazing!
TREND: Brutal Spaces
Take the industrial loft space idea to the next level, by going beyond exposed brick and beam and into a world of rough edges and gorgeously unfinished surfaces.
TREND: Computer-Machined Construction
CNC cutting machines are leading the way in this evolving trend, providing for stunningly crafted spaces in the post-artisanal world of modern construction. Behold Boston’s inviting BanQ Restaurant, by Office dA.
OBJECT: Brush Furniture
Originating from Jason Taylor’s idea of furniture which would help it’s owner clean the floor, these quirky conversation pieces are also quite fetching when incorporated properly into a design space.
TREND: Going Green and the NEW Taipei 101
In an effort to secure the coveted title of ‘World’s Tallest Green Building,’ the Taipei 101 is undergoing $1.8-million in eco-upgrades that are expected to cut an astonishing $20-million in annual energy costs. And since you were wondering, it’s 101 storeys stand a whopping 1,671 feet above grade level.
OBJECT: The Dylan Bed
If you’ve been looking for a killer bed, you can call off the search. Although the Dylan Bed by Cattelan Italia certainly looks like it’s floating in the air, rest assured (pun intended!), there are small supports at its base to keep mid-night disaster at bay.
