A personal review of design creations
Modern Design Auction @ Rago
The Design Market is alive despite the current crisis and auctions have been doing rather well lately. Here is my first review for 2021 with the Modern Design Auction by Rago (USA).
#CabinWeek – Le Bois Basalte
In Auvergne, the volcanic region in the centre of France, a former mine site has been transformed into an eco-tourism heaven. All material, food and even the architects are locally sourced.
Season 1 - Episode 4: Le Bois Basalte (France)
#CabinWeek - 019 Cabin
We started with a 5 sqm cabin, then a 15sqm one and today we look at a ‘larger’ one: 23sqm. The cabin gets a little larger but the exercise remains a great architectural challenge…
Step 3: 019 Cabin / ŠA atelier (Lithuania)
#CabinWeek - Woodnest Cabin
Escaping and reconnecting with Mother Nature may involve a direct link with trees. Some people hug them, other worship them… Why not living on it. Haven’t we all had a house in the trees when we were kids?
Season 1 - Episode 2: Woodnest Cabin by Helen & Hard (Norway).
#CabinWeek - 72h Cabin in Sweden
Starting 2021 with a new series!
#CabinWeek will invite you to escape from the urban life and help you reset. Its aim is to encourage us to be more environmentally conscious and in tune with nature.
2021 should be the year for all of us to slow our pace and reprioritise. This week will highlight five cozy cabins.
Season 1 - Episode 1: 72h Cabin by JeanArch in Sweden.
