Soft and smooth lines of the chair make it pleasant subject to touch. Bionic form only underlines the similarities with the environment.

Chair ok can bring light accents to any interior, without affecting the general character of the room.

Simple but with expressive shape armchair will be perfect for any type of premises, not imposing but just adding other objects in the interior.

The form of the armchair looks like slices, and functionally it is the rocking chair.Framework executed in such way that the faces of the chair are rigid, and the core which designed for sitting – soft, that contributes for a pleasant rest.

Bea’s of Bloomsbury restaurant | Carbon

Posted: 28 Feb 2011 08:34 AM PST


London based creative + boutique studio, carbon, have recently completed work on the much anticipated 2nd location of Bea's of Bloomsbury; an independent boutique cafe specialising in bespoke cakes and high quality food.

The new location comprises of two floors: a kitchen and serving area on the ground floor, and a mezzanine level with bench and booth seating, offering customers a casual relaxed environment in which to look out through the glazed facade at St Paul's. The site is a narrow 70 sqm corner unit in the newly developed One New Change building by Jean Nouvel adjacent St Paul's Cathedral.

The design of the restaurant is modern with a twist of the aesthetic mind-set of a Japanese tea house. With much of the food offered at Bea's being cute and colourful, the design approach went for a dark neutral background to celebrate the skilled hands at Bea's. Cupcakes, cakes and quaint objects are displayed in individual glass boxes, showcasing the food as stars of the show.

The upholstery throughout the store compliments the colours of Bea's food with sprinkles of different coloured cushions contrasting the darker background. The palette was kept tight with dark anthracite on vertical surfaces and soft blue undertones on ceilings and feature areas.

The lighting is kept ambient with a soft comfortable glow from the ceramic teapot lights suspended at various heights, adding a layer of fun and elegance to the scheme. At night, the display boxes and teapot lights output a welcoming glow that puts a smile across the faces of people passing by.

The focus was in creating a unique and experiential space for Bea that reflected the same care and passion she had for the food she offered. The challenge was in creating an environment that reflected her culture which customers could recognize and engage, despite being an independent retailer.

Elements of her packaging design, also by carbon, can be seen with large scale graphics swooping through the scheme. The graphic is broken up along the various vertical surfaces of the space, which can be seen in its complete form along the elevation.

In creating a strong and present identity, it is crucial to maintain a design language that is consistent throughout her offer, the store is her experiential identity.

+ About

Carbon

Carbon is a London based multi-disciplinary design practice. Established by Go Sugimoto and Ahmed Ansari, the studio engages in the design of human social spaces in retail, residential, commercial, education and cultural projects. Currently the studio is working on retail projects in London, India, Abu Dhabi, and residential projects across London and Africa with a strong focus on the integration of brand as it relates to the individual expression.

Owner and chef

After a brief spell studying law at Cornell University Americanborn Bea Vo realised that food was her passion and set about studying at Le Cordon Bleu and then working in London's finest restaurants including Nobu. In 2007, she took that passion one step further, and opened her first cafe on Theobald's Road in Bloomsbury. It quickly gained a reputation for fine food served in an informal and relaxed environment, with an emphasis on quality and not hype. In 2010 Bea was invited to open a second location in One New Change and has plans for two more locations in 2011.

When people come to our cafes we don't just want to offer them superior food but we want to invite them to have an experience – to indulge and relax. The design of our cafe is integral to setting the tone for the kind of experience we want our customers to have: our ethos is relaxed and informal with an emphasis on quality and we feel that Carbon has represented just that with their simple yet striking design.

LTD 1 | Pysall Ruge Architekten

Posted: 28 Feb 2011 03:20 AM PST


German architectural firm Pysall Ruge Architekten has designed the office building and health centre - LTD 1 located in Lübeckertordamm, Hamburg, Germany.

The office building's configuration, composed of four boomerang-shaped elements laid over each other, creates a representative entrance situation, an interior courtyard, and a transitional space to the residential courtyard in the rear. As a result of this building form, every office has direct sunlight and an unobstructed view.

+ Project description by Pysall Ruge Architekten

In the context of the revitalising of the St. Georg district of Hamburg, an urban plot of 120 dwelling units and an office building has been realised on a site next to Hamburg St. Georg hospital.

LTD 1 Pysall Ruge Jens Willebrand plusMOOD LTD 1 | Pysall Ruge Architekten

LTD 1, image © Jens Willebrand

The design extends the historic urban structure of the hospital to the housing units, and conceives the office building as a solitary form. The spatial composition of these buildings generates a green courtyard for the residential blocks, an urban place facing a new high-rise to the east, and a raised plaza on the west, as well as a semi-enclosed interior court in the new administrative building. The goal was to achieve appropriately differentiated urban spaces and building appearances, a high quality of life, protection from noise, and an optimal penetration of daylight in both the residential and office buildings. The green space in the interior of the block thus benefits the offices and the dwellings in equal measure.

The office building's configuration, composed of four boomerang-shaped elements laid over each other, creates a representative entrance situation, an interior courtyard, and a transitional space to the residential courtyard in the rear. As a result of this building form, every office has direct sunlight and an unobstructed view.

The fully room-high façade elements alternate in a relief, staggered motif: a tilting and swing-opening door with a glass weather and sound protection panel in front of it, a highly insulated sandwich panel, and a sheet of fixed glazing. The asymmetric façade assembly, running vertically over the three storeys of one wing form in one direction, and in the opposite direction on the wing form above it, emphasises the building's concept and provides an ever-changing show of reflected sunlight over the course of the day.

For the office building, ecologically unobjectionable materials are used throughout. The new building is a condensed form, and its surface area is optimised. Two service and sanitary cores lie inside and allow flexible use and simple adjustments to future requirements of the users. The building's materials possess the "Blue Angel" certification and are thus ecologically friendly. An innovatively staggered, highly insulating external glass skin, a naturally ventilated double façade, low energy heating and concrete core cooling, as well as an energy-optimised lighting concept reduce the primary energy requirements.

The building has received the gold certification for sustainable architecture from the German Sustainable Building Council (DGNB).

The seal of approval of the DGNB is a system of certification created by the German Sustainable  Building  Council together with the Federal Ministry of Transport, Building and Urban Development. The rating system consists of 61 criteria which evaluate the whole life cycle of a building project with regard to sustainability.

The rating system goes far beyond the ecological standards of a simple ”green building”. With its spe-cific qualities it responds to all aspects of sustainable building: to its ecological, economic, functional and technical objectives, as well as demonstrating sustainability in the final execution process.

Hamburg – about to become the “European Green Capital 2011″ – now got the first office building with the highest seal of approval for sustainable architecture.
