The Bartok table by Strala is a beautifully raw piece of contemporary furniture design by a studio that is challenging the conventions of their profession. ”Art invention by Strala unifies modernity and tradition. Our passion for awakening thoughts, quintessential craftsmanship and the enthusiasm for research are the energy behind our unprejudiced innovative power”
These Ecal stools by Swiss designer Nicolas Le Moigne juxtapose the literal weight of concrete with the apparent nothingness of a delicate, hollow form. For me the beauty lies not just in the form but in how this product can change over time. If used in an outdoor setting you can imagine the landscape being allowed to grow through and around the objects, anchoring them to their surroundings.
This beautiful house is by German Architects Marte Marte and features a series of beautifully crafted spaces which embody a sense of calm and tranquility within the mountainous surrounds. There is an embodied honesty to the use of off-form concrete and bleached timber which although luxurious in its execution tends to give the space an almost rustic quality.
