Contemporary Pitfire Pizza Interior Restaurant by Bestor Architecture

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 11:10 AM PDT

The beautiful restaurant that you see now wasn't always as friendly and attractive as it is now. It once was a dark and shady pizza parlor. In 2009, a team of architects formed by Barbara Bestor (Principal), Cathy Johnson (Project Architect), John Colter (Senior Designer), Urban Organics Landscape Design, Nicholas Tan and Gordon Polon Engineering worked at this project and managed to turn the place into a contemporary pizza restaurant that looks nothing like the old one.

In order to achieve this look, the architects had to strip down all the layers that have applied on the walls and to expose the original structure.The exterior also got new skylights and cuts into the structure that bring natural light inside. The restaurant opens up to the street, welcoming costumers.

On the inside, the background elements are wrapped in different materials. For example, the walls are covered with plywood, the ceilings are wrapped in kraft paper and the counters are in marble. The interior is also filled with custom furniture and strong primary colors that create a very friendly atmosphere. Moreover, there is also a mini garden split by a huge glass sliding wall.

Eye Catching Melting Chair by Philipp Aduatz

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 07:48 AM PDT

Sometimes when you feel tired you may have a nice sensation of melting, the moment to sit on a chair. Its comfort and your moment of relaxation transform you into a liquid like person. Nothing compares with a few moments of rest after a hard working day. For those who work standing all the time these moments become preciousless. My mother is such a person who works all day long standing. This type of work caused her real problems for her feet and affected her circulation. I remember the moments when she came home and she needed badly a few hours of rest.

Prepare you home for the next season with a bohemian décor

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 05:40 AM PDT

As we change cloths whenever a new season comes along, so does our home. You probably don't realize it because you do it without thinking about it, but you make some drastic changes with each season. For example, during the summer season, you need lighter and happier materials and patterns. In the winter everything tends to be grey and fluffy. Here's an example of how you can prepare your home for the fall.

bohemian d%C3%A9cor interior design3 Prepare you home for the next season with a bohemian décor

The key is to choose neutral tones and natural color for the walls, ceiling and floor. You might not want to repaint the walls and ceiling 4 times a year so you should agree or a tone that suites all four seasons. Also, the large furniture pieces should share the same characteristics. What you can change each season all the smaller decorative items. For example, you can have some pillows, blankets, lamps, etc especially created for a particular time of the year.

For the fall, pastel colors are advised. You should also choose natural tones, like yellow, grey or contrasting combinations like grey and purple. The idea is to make your home welcoming, warm and cozy. You can also add some decorations that can be changed according to the season. For example, in the fall, you can add some leaves or choose leaves as a pattern for the pillows and blankets.{found on femina}

Foldable Flux chair designed for small spaces

Posted: 14 Sep 2011 02:37 AM PDT

Regardless of the size of your apartment or house, space always seems to be a problem. We always need more and more and we always have less and less space. It would be so much easier if we could find convertible pieces of furniture that would help us save space or, even better, items that are easy to store.

flux chair1 Foldable Flux chair designed for small spaces

One such product is the Flux chair. It's an unusual piece of furniture because at first it looks like a giant envelope. There's no reason why you would think that such an item could be a chair. Nevertheless, it easily transforms into a designer chair, perfect for any type of décor. The main advantage that the Flux chair has is that it's foldable and this allows it to be easily stored away and to save a lot of space.
