Restaurant Tusen, category winner at the World Architecture Festival
Restaurant Tusen in the Swedish ski resort Ramundberget seats 125 guests. It won the "Holiday" category at WAF in Barcelona 2009. The building, sitting on a hill between birch trees, brooks and rocks, has a strong relation to the landscape in shape, design and material. Its facade is clad with birch logs.

Karim Rashid created the KOOP chair.

His words:

I wanted the Koop chair to create an organic womb-like space. The soft shaped structure produced creates cradles you in a sense of serenity, privacy and peace. The pure egg-like chair presents purity, perfection, minimalism, and holism.

For the Christmas Table

elutzik — Sat, 19 Dec 2009 21:30:10 +0000

Christmas is a very special time of the year when we gather the whole family and enjoy a nice meal together. But we can’t receive our relatives without arranging the table in a very special way, with nice dinnerware and stoneware. It doesn’t matter if it’s cheaper of more expensive if we know how to arrange the table and keep in mind some simple ideas.

The recommended color is red. The Christmas table decoration can blend candles, wipes and other small accessories for dining in a festive atmosphere, full of gaiety and color. A floral arrangement will complete the picture. We use a white tablecloth to create the contrast needed. You cal also use silver or golden in combination with the red, or some blue touches. You should also take in consideration the drinkware and put on the table your finest ones.

Regarding the food, this should include Christmas specialties and some light sweets and fruits. More about what you should serve can be found on Food and Wine Magazine.

When we think of wallpaper, we think of repetitive designs on the walls. Designer Kicki Edgren Nyborg decided to change all that. He created an ingenious, interactive and functional wallpaper collection, called “Wake-up Wall” and it’s made of three concepts:

First is “Off the Wall” is for lighting and storage, giving the impression of lamplights and shelving coming right off the wall.

The second is called “WallPlay”, which was designed especially for kids and their games. Fun wallpapers, stickers, and story time. The wall becomes an environment in and of itself with interesting scenes and characters galore

Last but not least is “Trans Wall”, which includes five different patterns and is for those who that want to go against the grain with whimsical patterns that create flow for the chosen room.
