RICK LEE’S FOUR SEASONS PLYBOO TABLES

We love designer Rick Lee’s creative use of digital fabrication and CNC milling to create a set of playfully evocative “Four Seasons” furniture, which was on display at New York’s ICFF. Celebrating the cyclical nature of life, each table in the Four Seasons series is a different shape and height, and has a unique style of CNC cut-out from its plyboo base to reflect the season.

Skin ...

Skin is a new cosmetic surgery in Florence, Italy, designed by
Michael Young and Katrin Olina.

The interior, a conversion of an old building, is in the historic

Borgo San Jacopo district in central

Florence, between the Ponte

Vecchio and Santa Trinita bridges.

N.O.W. (Not Only White)

If you are tired of same-old, typical wardrobes, here is a solution that might help you to have fun.
Italian company, Lago, has a new concept for wardrobes! This is an infinitely customizable wardrobe,
one that disappears behind the walls and integrates perfectly with the interior architecture of the home.
It is characterized by an innovative approach to color and a system that is so flexible and versatile that it matches the exact measurements of any desire. It is not a simple modular system, but a product that
achieves a perfect fit between the visualized dream and the realized solution.

The 21 to 115 cm modular strips with multiple intermediate widths create the design of the
wardrobe giving a new visual pattern as if in a musical sequence.
This is an actual to-the-inch solution not only for the dimensions but also for the senses:
in fact, each strip can be coloured differently.
The innovative door opening system does away with the handles, blending N.O.W. into
the architecture of the walls and even creating fresh chromatic moods in tone with its surrounds.
