Bathroom trends: “anything goes, anything but white”

According to a recent statement about current trends in bathrooms, “anything goes, anything but white”. .. writes Markus Hieke in a Stylepark article on the coming ISH:

Light from robotic flowers that blossom when you are near

Meadow by Studio Drift from Studio DRIFT on Vimeo.

"Meadow is an upside down landscape, the kinetic sculpture consists of mechanical flowers that open and close in a poetic choreography. The installation reminds the viewer of the impermanence of constantly changing seasons and sensational character of natural growth processes.Most man-made objects have a static form, while everything natural in this world including people, are subject to constant metamorphosis and adaptation to their surroundings. Meadow is the result of the question how an inanimate object can mimic those changes that express character and emotions.

As an upside down landscape the kinetic sculpture reacts to the visitors as if they where the sun to a blooming flower. All flowers together create the experience of a botanical creature that naturally engages the viewer. Underneath Meadow integrated sensors translate the presens of the visitors into different 'moods'.  The robotic flowers blossom by mixing the light colour and the colour of the fabric that in itself has a colour gradient.

A Touch of Luxury - Onyx

pinterest.com

Onyx is one of my favourite materials for interior design projects - it is not only beautiful, it has softness and it is translusant, and that creates a feeling of a 3D effect. Enjoy some of my latest findings:

 But even with this beautiful material it is possible to overdo things. I have seen a lot of such examples. Just make sure that when using onyx you leave it the only accent - it deserves to be the central piece in any interior project.
