‘Ondule’, a lounge seat which is a visual translation of digital sound, designed by Mattis Ensault. The textile is pulled over a solid base and attached along a predefined weft. Eventually, the three dimensional fabric is to become a slip cover, allowing the user to attach it to a variety of surfaces. An lounge seat becomes a visual translation of digital sound as the undulating texture represents waves and frequency.

Alcove Sofa is both a social space and a security zone. It’s an environment of its own: a room inside a room, inside a home. With this in mind, Ronan and Erwan Bouroullec designed the Alcove Sofa, which was inspired by the Arabic “al-qubba”, and is a secluded, upholstered niche, designed for lounging and sleeping. Like its ancient forbearer, the Alcove Sofa creates an intense sense of intimacy and enclosure, a feeling of escape from the chaos of the outside world. You don’t just sit on an Alcove Sofa, you retreat into it. It’s tall, deep and remarkably soft. Lay back, tuck up your feet, and you´ll immediately find yourself in a much safer and more private world.

The glass comes to life when it is filled with water. The concave and convex lenses create an unusual view on the world and provide a nice grip at the same time. Designer Arnout Visser finds his main inspiration in the world of logic. He reminds us of ‘how things work’ by designing objects that are based in science—in physical or mechanical laws. The usage of glass—Arnout’s favourite material—gives a clear insight in the working of, for example, liquids, but Arnout also works with other materials such as ceramics, plastics and metals. Designs by Arnout Visser can be found in the collections of the Museum of Modern Art in New York, Design Museum London, Kunsthal Rotterdam and Groninger Museum, amongst others.

There are many people that simply do away with the entire notion of making their box room into a bedroom. While there is often a need for a gym, study or even a simple media room in the home, a lot of these facilities often arise from the abandonment of a bedroom because not enough can be done with the space. However, a few simple changes can really get things moving in the right direction – all you need to do is follow a couple of easy tips and you could get space from everything!

Get a storage bed

Storage beds are perfect for any room, though they’re perfectly designed to match the shape and size of a box room. You can get divan beds with side or top hinges to match the shape of the space, while there are a number of other newer beds that are even self-lifting, using hydraulics to make the heavy lifting job as safe as possible.

If it’s a bedroom for a youngster, consider a bunk bed-style offering that builds in a desk or couch underneath – it could be perfect to conserve space. Whatever you do, put the bed along one wall to create more unbroken space.

Mirrors and light colours work perfectly together

Hang one or two large mirrors in the room, as this naturally makes the space feel a lot bigger. A way to truly enhance this is to make the room be brighter with lighter colour schemes, as well as bedding, curtains and other soft furnishings.

Hang things from the ceiling

If you have certain things coming down from the ceiling – a chandelier, lighting strips, faux beams or even plants, you will attract the eyes to look upwards and ultimately increase the amount of space you identify in the room – especially if you have particularly high ceilings.

Shelving your wares

By putting high shelves up, you can be sure to get plenty of things stored safely elsewhere in the home without affecting floor space. Like wall art, try to keep the amount you put up to a minimum as this can close walls in that little bit more.

The Vessels are woven from a starch-based plastic, which is industrially-produced, but naturally biodegradable. Revisiting traditional methods using an industrially produced “natural” material suggests a new relationship between industry and craft; a marriage of industrial chemistry and traditional knowledge that allows for a more flexible system of production and design.
