What looks so futuristic is a coffee and tea set

What looks so futuristic is a coffee and tea set

Admittedly, this blocky polyurethane coffee and tea set comes across as very futuristic. Irritated, you look at it and wonder what you could be dealing with here, so strongly abstracted are the shapes of the individual components of the service that they almost seem like works of art. Even if their function is not immediately apparent, one is impressed by the coolness of form and color. Wiel Arets is one of the architects commissioned by Alessi to design a limited edition "Tea + Coffee Tower". The brief called for designing a tea and coffee set that would also include a sugar bowl, creamer, and tray. Arets' design is made particularly interesting by the fact that all the individual parts of the service - whether coffee pot or sugar bowl - are the same size, only the inner structures of the transparent entities differ from each other.

These are Germany's most beautiful hotels

These are Germany's most beautiful hotels The last few months have sharpened our focus: On the fact that good things are sometimes closer than we thought. We have compiled twelve of our favorite vacation destinations on our doorstep for your next trip - old classics and new treasures. Mauritzhof, Münster The "Mauritzhof" on the edge of Münster's old town has been around since the 80s. However, the 52-room boutique hotel underwent a butterfly-like transformation a few years ago, with the Berlin design studio Lambs and Lions simultaneously providing the pupae and the cocoon of heavy fabrics and warm colors, double rooms from 159 euros. Rosso, Allgäu South of the Elbe, life is not the same. That's what Lisa Rühwald and Christian Müller noticed when they set off from Hamburg two years ago "with a healthy dose of naivety in their luggage". They didn't get as far as Italy, because a farm in the Allgäu region fell in front of their feet. So they broug...

Modernization and extension by Georg Bechter Architects

Modernization and extension by Georg Bechter Architects Combining old and new without slipping into banality is one of the biggest challenges in remodeling. In the Bregenzerwald, Georg Bechter Architects have struck just the right note with the careful modernization of an old vacation home. The road winds in curves from the small community of Langenegg up the hill to Rotenberg. At the top of the hill stands a vacation home from the sixties. It offers its inhabitants an enviable view in the direction of Lake Constance as well as of the highest peak in the region, the Damülser Mittagsspitze. Modern nostalgia The plain wooden house had long served well, but offered little space. To expand the living space, Georg Bechter Architects raised the gable roof and created a modern upper floor that blends as harmoniously as it contrasts with the rest of the house. The original rooms have lost none of their rustic, alpine character, yet have gained in brightness and spaciousness. "Existi...

AD, in the series "New Natives," they give an insight into the most private part of their lives that has never been shown publicly before - their homes. Episode 2: Tattoo artist Melina Wendlandt aka Xoxo Tattoo. Melina Wendlandt is known as "Xoxo Tattoo" on Instagram. The tattoo artist, who recently turned 30, runs her own studios in Hamburg, Berlin and Los Angeles together with her boyfriend Philipp under the name "Vaders Dye". Yevgeny Roppel Basically, Melina Wendlandt's success story begins with a lion. With filigree lines and small dots, she draws graceful animals that her customers then wear under their skin for the rest of their lives. The lion is the most popular motif of the tattoo artist, who is one of the most successful in Germany (if not worldwide). Even before her 30th birthday, she opened her o...
