Alessandro Mendini- Proust Geometrica Armchair
The multicolor fabric Proust Geometrica Armchair with hand-carved + hand-painted wooden frame is the new face of Proust Armchair by Alessandro Mendini.
Proust created in 1978 for the Palazzo dei Diamanti in Ferrara was immediately recognized as an icon
of 20th century design. In 1993, Cappellini inherited the piece & today after reupholstered in a new cotton fabric with traditionally hand-finished by Alessandro Mendini, Proust Geometrica still preserves the forms + value of the original Proust armchair but with a refreshing breath of new life + image.

Peter Rich Architects- The Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre in S. Africa
I can’t help but notice the message this anthill-like group of vaulted magnificent landmark in the Mapungubwe National Park and World Heritage site in Limpopo could send to other world heritage sites. The Mapungubwe Interpretation Centre in South Africa by veteran architect, Peter Rich, winner of the 2010 ABSOLUT VISI Designer of the Year Award for the centre itself, which also won the World Building of the Year at the World Architecture Festival in Barcelona in 2009.
‘The vaulted structures were built using stabilized earth tiles and the ancient tile vaulting technique, which requires no reinforcing.
The largest free-form vaults span 14.5m, with an un-reinforced masonry vault of only 300mm in thickness. The simple, elegant structures are clad with locally quarried stone, which adds a stabilizing load to the vaults and integrates the centre into its surroundings.
The project contributed to poverty relief in the area by using ecological methods, local materials and labour.’
- Visi.

Glaskasten in Marl- Wingardh Arkitektkontor
Glaskasten in Marl by Wingardh Arkitektkontor is an addition to the sculpture museum Marl town hall in Germany designed by Bakema and van den Broek in 1958-62.
‘Long and narrow like a tube, but solid and unmovable like a block of concrete.
In between these two extremes stands the extension to the Marl town hall, designed by Bakema and van den Broek in 1958-62.
Their ponderous brutalism resounds through the massive walls of the ex-tension, where the trees on the site have been made to leave their imprint. A relief art work signed by artist Lars Bergström.

From Fable to Table
‘From Fable to Table’ by Amelie Onzon for her graduation project, explores the extremes contradiction of human-animals relationship:
1. we love animals, nurture them, name them and share our daily life with them. In some extreme scenario, we treat them like human beings.
2. we love animals, nurture them, name them and share our daily life with them. In some extreme scenario, we treat them like human beings.
Amelie Onzon chooses duck as the protagonist of her story because ducks are both easy to domesticate and very tasty. She then designed 2 furnitures and let the user decide whether they will use these furniture to produce foie gras or give their pet/ the duck a more comfortable life.

Discarded Clothes Sculpture by Guerra De La Paz
‘The overabundance of discarded clothes though beautiful in some ways, seems depressingly sad when collectively hanging from a ceiling or arranged like a weeping rainbow.’
- gBlog.
The phrase above makes us think about our daily “mass-produced refuse” by creatively putting together old discarded clothes into stunning, artistic sculpture. Guerra De La Paz, a collaboration between two artists, Alain Guerra and Neraldo de la Paz doesn’t see trash, in this sense, but an opportunity for artistic beauty and expression.
