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.

Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style

Inspiration: Cozy reading corner in &tradition style Hola the wood fairy, but from the reading corner we can not get out of the whole autumn. And that's what we thought when we shot the beautiful pieces of furniture from &tradition in the summer. The Danish label for furniture, accessories and lighting has already enchanted us many times in the past, so it was about time that we give ourselves a little bit to the label when it comes to creating a beautiful, cozy feel-good corner for your home. Admittedly, having the products of &tradition at home and being able to create a great reading corner with them, has already pleased us quite a bit. When else do you have the opportunity to equip a corner through and through with design classics? Well, well, we didn't get used to it, after all, the great pieces were only visiting for the shoot. But nevertheless or just because of it: Our Interior-Wishlist has now become a lot longer. Here comes our inspiration for a cozy rea...

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...

Art Cologne 2021: Our five art highlights! Whether young, fresh positions or exciting works by established artists: there is a lot to discover at Art Cologne from November 17 to 21 at 150 galleries. Our five highlights you should not miss! We show you our five art highlights of Art Cologne A pleasing number of female artists can be found among the 20 "New Positions", each occupying 25 square meters. Austrian Assunta Abdel Azim Mohamed's trademark is ballpoint pen drawings reminiscent of hidden object paintings. She says, "I examine the interpersonal in people's daily relationships and actions. In doing so, I dissect the rigid faces of my characters and expose deep psychological minefields." Moving between figuration and abstraction, cute and grotesque are the works of Polish artist Aneta Kajzer, also a "New Position." She tries to shatter unambiguities and allow ambivalences. The art of interpretation is required from the viewer: Are two dots a...
