Trend-alert: Wire

Minimalistic and elegant, strong and durable,embracing without obscuring,wire seems to be therediscovered designer's tool. Many new interior design products appeared in the last couple of years that make use of its many possibilities - the way Bertoia and Charles and Ray Eames did in the 20th century.

We saw several great examples of this trend at the last Milan Design Week this month. An immaterial sculpture of light is the new WIREFLOW 0300 Design by Arik Levy:

And so many other examples of wire products throughout my posts. You can find here also many other interesting trends in modern interior design. 

Bathrooms are the status rooms

I suppose that you will agree with me on that. And it is always interesting to see how the owner understands beauty, quality, glamour and good design by seeing thier bathrooms - where they invest most.
For me quality materials are very important - like marble and natural wood,  but I value also the unique design ideas, as well as ergonomical streamlined design with a 'green soul'. If you are like me, then follow my blog because it is my intention to publish selected products that answer these requirements, not only for bathrooms.

 HIM by Zucchetti,  design Ludovica+Roberto Palomba

It is elegant, ergonomic, green and covered in rose gold! What a combination of virtues :)

The unique design of Marble Drop - a wash-basin in Bianco Lasa/Covelano “Macchia Vecchia” marble designed by Alessandro La Spada for Antolini makes it a fine, elegant masterpiece and areally desirable product:

More great designs will follow.

Fireplace alternative

Dreaming of a fireplace, but no chimney? And you don't like the idea of a bio-ethanol or electric fireplace? Then you can create your fireplace alternative - live the one in the apartment designed by SVOYA studio:

The main elements are candles and lamps, but the choice of all other materials is yours :)

I would have chosen a less reflective wall material - may be then the impression would have been more real. Still, cool design idea! What do you think?
