Like frogs sitting on lily pads, so goes the experience when visiting the “Blue Frog Lounge” in Mumbai, India. Architectural firm Serie, have created an entertainment space that is both attractive and stand-offish at the same time, mirroring its patrons casual chic attitudes. For unobstructed people and performer watching, staggered heights and angled booths atop a glowing blue lake of light, give the impression of floating in a warm lake under the spring moonlight, waiting for the mating ritual to begin.
“I love the smell of Napalm in the morning…” - Robert Duvall (Apocalypse Now). Though I question anyone’s sanity that might actually mean those very words, it does speak of the fundamental truth that a particular scent has the power to instantly transform our moods. Whether it is the smell of your grandmother’s home, a gardenia, a puppies breath, some vanilla or even napalm in the morning, scents can instantly transport us to a time, a place, and moreover, an emotion. This power was the motivation behind the “Aroma Waker” by Abio Genesis.
Horizontal heaters are so passé. Or at least says the mind behind this aptly named “Wall Ceramic Heater” by Andrey Vostrikov. Andrey claims this heating concept provides better energy efficiency, faster heating times and measurable noise reduction. As if packing some serious heat were not enough, Andrey also added the ability to generate negative ions (for that oh-so-soothing tropical rain forest feeling) and built-in LED lights, to see your friends faces when they ask; “What the hell is this thing..?

If we all took 15 mins out of each day to just focus and stay silent, it would do a world of good. Of course in today’s world space is a premium. The minimal domestic altar establishes a sacred place within the home providing a focal point for contemplation, mediation, and ritual.

Deep in the heart of Lorraine, France stands the Church Saint Eucaire de METZ. This church is home to one of the most extraordinary collections of custom crafted furniture on God’s green Earth. Inspired by visions of the New Testament’s version of the apocalypse. With flowing vertical lines representing the ascension of Jesus Christ and reflections of water flowing into infinity, this future gothic furniture has heavenly aspirations. Resembling what might be found in the chapel in Superman’s Fortress of Solitude, the intention is similar in spirit.
Sure some curtains attempt to dazzle us with features like lace fringe or intricate pleats, while others have the sole purpose of simply blocking out the sun. Anyway you look at them, they serve a purpose in almost any space. From keeping our domestic activities private to framing a view, curtains are as ubiquitous as the walls they are attached to. Curtain designer Florian Kräutli has bravely dragged the Window Treatment Industry into the 19th Century by incorporating magnet technology into every panel.
I believe it was Jupiter that gave his son Baccus (the Roman God of Wine) his first set of Legos when he was nowhere near old enough to even spell sommelier. His childhood memory just might have been the inspiration for the Bachus Wine Rack by Marcel Wanders. Like Legos, this stackable and practical wine rack utilizes rounded pegs to keep it’s precious cargo firmly in place and easily accessible. Minimally designed in both grey and white to focus attention on your reserve, rather than the random bunny signifying the end of your drinking for the evening.
