When designing rooms requiring superior acoustics, it’s important to be aware of the surfaces’ absorption characteristics. By taking appropriate measurements the progression of sound waves can be identified. Basically, anything that’s smooth and hard reflects strongly and therefore encourages annoying echoes or long reverberations. On the other hand, soft or porous surfa...

In the 21st century, modernism has continued to establish itself as a timeless style within the design world. No longer seen as simply the product of bygone idealism or the aesthetic of a cold, industrial age, modern design is being embraced for its simplicity, honesty and optimism.

A revisitation of the ‘living cube’ by Papanek & Hennessey, Chmara.Rosinke‘s sparse-but-snug structure meets our basic needs of foo...
Who doesn’t love the crisp coolness of clean hotel sheets? We certainly do. Still, there’s something unsatisfying about the uniformity and recycled air that always makes it fantastic to come home. However, we’ve found five hotel interiors that take a large step above ordinary – perhaps so far from ordinary that they will even make you abandon the idea of home. No, we’re ...
If interior design is probably not the first thing that you should look at when you choose a restaurant, we must admit that it has become the main factor in our decision-making process. The use of fresh, seasonal and local products, the quality of the service, the cleanliness (for crying out loud!)…we’re afraid that all of this comes second to design. Who cares about foo...
New trend alert! Maybe you too had the chance to notice a newcomer in the interior architecture and design arena.

The movie adaptation of the E.L. James novel 50 Shades of Grey has just been released in theaters.

Moviegoers will get an eyeful…of lamps from DelightFULL, a cabinet by Boca Do Lobo, a ta...
Sometimes, there’s nothing like a good slant. It turns a building from an ordinary rectangle into something more: a monolith, a colossus, a force of reckoning. Although far from uncommon, the slant is still rare enough to be an architectural unicorn with just a hint of gravity-defying magic. And with the increased use of solar panels, the slant is also sometimes a functi...
Bar cart, tea trolley or whatever you may call it, this fabulous rolling device can be the perfect home accoutrement.

German-born, New York-based artist Markus Linnenbrink embraces color with open arms. In fact, the vast majority of his work is spent examining color and its impact. But he didn’t always throw himself wholeheartedly into the rainbow abyss. He even used to be a little frightened of color. We find this reassuring in lieu of the overwhelming sense of panic we feel when simpl...
