The narrowly perforated LobiSILENT planks can be assembled as a wall and/or ceiling cladding, matching the installed floor. In combination with the acoustic

The requirments of this speacial place guide to a compact form of building. As a certain attribute, the building is understood as a center/cardinal point.

EMBRACE TABLES by Eoos Design for Carl Hansen & Søn; Austria, Denmark

November 25, 2019|Austria, BIG SEE Wood Design Award 2019 - Winner, Furniture, Wood|

We wanted to create a stable and ultimately light table concept using the absolute minimum of material. Each table comprises just three components: a round tabletop that seems to float on a centered frame, as well as a crossed wooden base that serves to anchor the table, representing gravity. Soaring kites in the wind are the poetic image behind these objects. You hold the wooden bar in your hands and

Modernly designed as 'big windows', the cottages 'hover' over the slope. Architecture blends with nature respectfully and creatively into a harmonious whole. We experience it as a subtle landscape setting - a kind of 'land art'. The interior of the cottages is
