French designer Jean Jullien designed this delightfully whimsical bird-themed rooftop bar in Nantes, France called Le Nid. It’s filled with all kinds of fun details like egg-shaped chairs and eyes that open and close.

Jullien on the project:

Located in Nantes ( France) it sits at the top of a 144m building called Tour de Bretagne and overlook the city and its surroundings. Inside the bar, a 40 meters long bird rests. The bar is located in its body, whilst his neck runs to the other end of the space, leading you to its massive head. His eyes opens and close regularly, as he falls asleep and wakes up. You can enjoy a drink in its egg shaped tables and chairs.

You don’t have to look out the window to know it’s cloudy outside with the Nebula 12 lamp by Micasa LAB, you’ll know by the cloud forming in your living room.

About the project:

In the standard mode, Nebula 12 predicts the weather for the next 48 hours. A threatening low-pressure area is announced by a red cloud, and sunshine is shown in yellow. At the same time, the user can adjust the settings and define the source of information themselves. And the best is: regardless of how dark the cloud is, Nebula 12 never brings any rain. At least, not within one’s own four walls.

Roots Table by Ekta Shah

Shah on her work:

My inspiration is in the natural forms and processes in the world around us. The roots of a tree anchor it to the ground and support it. This function was the dominating characteristic that informed the design for the table. My intention was to have the individual bent plywood pieces that comprise the base to be connected in a manner that support the glass tabletop, but give the illusion of randomness and the organized chaos that is present throughout nature.

Fibonacci Cabinet by Utopia Architecture & Design

About the project:

The design idea comes from the traditional Chinese medicine cabinet, of which all the drawers are in the same size. In order to satisfy the multi- functional requirement, we apply Fibonacci Sequence, which is also called Golden Section for the intimately connection with the golden ratio, to rearrange every size of these units in series. The Fibonacci Sequence is a series of numbers: {0, 1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, 34, 55, … } , in which the next number is found by adding up the two numbers before it.

This design is composed of seven units, a big cabinet on the top, five drawers and a Chinese table on the bottom, which could be used separately and combined freely according to different requirements and different places.

Nao Tamura designed his Rings stool to celebrate the 80th anniversary of designer Alvar Aalto’s Stool 60. 

About the project:

Contained within a single tree is its unabridged chronicle Year by year, never skipping a beat, it records its history slowly. Some lines speak of seasons of plenty, while others cry of famine. The size of the rings are never the same. Each engraving bears witness to battles waged in the name of survival. To observe such is to humble ourselves to nature’s love of life. This celebration was created by layering upon the chair’s beautiful geometric shape, a complex and organic graphic of life. My hope is that the Artek “Stool 60” will evoke the bounty of nature as seen by the passage of 80 years of time.

This beautiful library by Li Xiaodong Atelier is nestled in the small village of Huairou in China. Its interior features plenty of cozy nooks and crannies to read in and great care was taken with the exterior to make sure that it would blend with its natural surroundings. I really want to hang out there even though I can’t read a word of Chinese. They’ve gotta have some picture books, don’t they?
