'furniture is like architecture in microcosm, the big difference being that the time between cause and effect can shrink dramatically - the response time to a decision can be a few weeks or even hours.' --- 'nomos' table for tecno, italy foster says: 'many critics and users have commented on the appearance of the table's frame, suggesting references such as as the lunar landing module. actually the influence was a grasshopper with its slim body and long gangly legs.' http://www.tecno.it furniture for thonet 'what we proposed for today's needs is a diverse range of individual pieces, chairs and tables, all derived from a limited range of components. one can draw analogies to earthbound structures and waterborne sailing craft, which have been braced by tension cables in the quest to combine economy and high performance. http://www.thonet.de tray for alessi http://www.alessi.com bathroom interiors for duravit and hoesch bathroom suites normally consist only of the 'ceramic' items - the foster practice has a holistic and integrated approach to the design of interiors. the project is a bathroom suite with a fully complimentary range of sanitaryware, furniture and accessories, which provides cohesive interiors for domestic and commercial bathrooms. http://www.duravit.com http://www.hoesch.de enercon wind energy turbine upwind rotor with active pitch control Rated capacity: 1,5 MW Rotor Diameter: 66 m http://www.enercon.de/english/ukstart.html fusital door handle 'significantly the packaging is not merely cosmetic - the best penknives are a joy to handle, to hold and to contemplate. the project uses the same principle.' http://www.vallievalli.com |
