Chest of Drawers

Chest of drawers number 100 by Tejo Remy

In 1991 Tejo Remy designed Chest of drawers: a dresser made of waste material as a comment on our consumer society. It became an icon of the nineties and is now a true collector’s piece. The chest of drawers reached an extended goal by going from recycling to immortalisation. An extra emphasise comes with the unique Chest of drawers number 100, for which Dutch jewellery designer Ted Noten created a special perspex drawer. Items that are usually hidden away, like a revolver, pearl necklace and diamonds, are fixed in the material forever. That way, both the chest and the contents are saved from the scrapheap.

Hidden Inlays by FormaFantasma for Droog

I love the use of materials by FormaFantasma. Here they have used OSB, a type of wood usually reserved for cheaper applications and transparent resin to modify the surface of the material giving it an unexpected new texture and transformed it into a precious material. The resin treatment applied to chipboard provides a luxurious glossy finish to what is a cheap, low-grade material.

zero star hotel

The Zero Star Hotel opened in 2009 in Teufen, Switzerland, with beds available for just €6-€18 a night. The hotel - a converted nuclear bunker - is such good value because the accommodation is stripped down and functional.

Originally developed as the art installation Null Stern Hotel by Frank and Patrik Riklin, a collaboration with the hospitality advisory company Minds in Motion has seen the project develop into a commercial venture.

The mission is to provide a simple service: "Tailored to fulfil the guests’ priorities, needs and expectations through innovative, value-oriented and functional accommodations.”

Personally I love the basic, stripped back aesthetic of the hotel, its stark minimalism rings true with high-end interior design with the bonus of being super cheap!

David George

David George is a fantastic photographer. These landscapes are part of his MA show 'Enclosures, Badlands and Boarders'. At first glance the subject matter seems quite bland but these photographers simply mesmerising!

Have a look at his other work at www.david-george.co.uk, his portraits are brilliant.

PikNik

The PikNik was design by Dirk Wynants and Xavier Lust. It is produced by Extremis was spotted in the bar at the Tate Moden. This table/seating system has been around for a while and has won several awards. I can't believe what a simple design it is. It looks amazing and works really well. Also for a single sheet of aluminum it's bloody comfortable.
