Glass Furniture by Santambrogio Milano : Could this be a new trend ?

Designed by Italian manufacturer Santambrogio Milano these pieces of furniture made from glass are something quite interesting, that you don’t see everyday. The collection uses the ultra-clear Diamant Glass that is produced by Saint Gobain. At a first glance I’ve thought that this design is totally impractical, but after I’ve saw that the design is made using superdurable tempered glass I’ve changed my mind. Who knows maybe this glass furniture design will replace the old wood furniture designs that are right now in every home, because the materials look very good

Modern Retail Interiors by Kata’s

Honestly speaking this is the first time I’ve seen wooden flooring on the ceiling and walls, to create such a warm atmosphere that appeals. I agree that black and white mix really well when it comes to walls and furniture, but Kata’s modern retail interiors in Japan are simply amazing. Sounds like the perfect solution if you plan on opening up a clothing store or even a restaurant, and just want to ditch those white walls we’ve all been used with. Blends in with style, isn’t it?

Rooftecture in Japan

Located in an old residential home in Shioya Tarumi-ku Kobe, Japan, the small home you see above is a great example of what innovation can do. Designed Endo Shuhei Architects the house stands out from the crowd thanks to its roof, which certainly is something you ain’t going to see every day. Facing the sea, the thin house was forced to use a triangular roof because of its site, with those steep slopes. And I must say they managed to maximize space with a brilliant idea. It’s like doing something out of what seems like nothing, and the Japanese seem to be doing good on that topic

With a stunning open space ground floor that leads to the crystal blue swimming pool and featuring modern furnishings, this is an amazing and exquisite tech-savvy job that mixes really well with luxury.

Many think that we men , can’t decide what piece of furniture to use, how to paint our walls or what flooring to go with. Could it be because dressing up is not the same for us as it is for women?

The ground floor features a kitchen, a breakfast room and a glassed dining room, there are three children’s bedrooms and a games room at the first floor , while the top floor has the “creme de la creme”, a private guest suite and a massage room.

Bookshelf ( great for corners ) Inspired by a Spider Web

“Silk” is a brand new idea designed by Bloq based on a spiders web in the corner of a room. This large bookcase was designed to sit in the space that is under used in the corner of the room, but it can be placed in the middle of a wall. “Silk” can also be turned on its side. All the pieces are made to order so all the sizes and finishes can be changed. Sometime ago I’ve made a collection of bookcases here on Freshome, and the Silk could be a great addition to that collection.
