Dunes Screens
Dunes is a set of modular, stackable screens inspired by the undulating sand dunes of the desert. Outofstock used thick elastic chords to weave surfaces within an inverse-triangulated steel frame. The result is a screen with rich colour gradients that act as a low-opacity colour filter, defining a semi-private space. They can be combined to form a continuous linear partition or used separately as spatial markers.
Abstract architecture
Mont Fuji Architects Studio designed this villa for weekends. locates on mountainside of Izu-san
Weekend villa on the mountainside of Izu-san by Mont Fuji Architects Studio.
The architecture was realized by crossing two rectangular parallelepipeds at very right angles. The lower one contains private rooms and bathroom, and sticks half of the body out to existing narrow level ground. The upper one incorporates salon and kitchen, and lies astride the lower one and the mountain ridge.
It almost seems like an off-centered cross pinned carefully on natural terrain.
Thanks to water-polished white marble as exterior finishing material (and interior), the southern end of white cross melts into the blue of sky and Pacific Ocean, and the eastern end to the green of forest of Japanese oak.

Luxurious plastic dining
Etiquette Set is a complete, packaged dining kit including instructions which allows the user to enjoy an à la Russe dining experience in any context, regardless of class or wealth.
The set retains the detailing, form and visual language of the ornate silver cutlery and ceramic plate, and forces these values into the context of mass production and contemporary consumer culture through manufacture, material choice, packaging and method of use and disposal.
The design and realisation of this product is intended to comment on the loss of tradition, heritage and craftsmanship evident in the consumer culture of which we are part, and to question how and why we assign value to the different objects that surround us.

Brussels architects
If looking for clever and very creative transformations of a classical house, the architect duo Nicolas Vanden Eeckhout and Laurence Creyf could be what you are looking for. Very nice new constructions also on their website.
