Rooted in Normandy’s apple-growing and cider-making traditions, the design reuses the original wooden screw mechanism as the stool’s four legs, retaining the aged texture and irregularities accumulated through decades of use.   A cross-shaped structure made from 3 mm-thick aluminum connects the wooden elements, contrasting the material’s precise finish with the timber’s weathered surface. Its openwork form references apple blossoms, while the seat’s helical profile echoes the original screw mechanism.

Measuring 45 cm high and 42 cm wide and deep, LE PRESSOIR balances everyday function with a sculptural silhouette, retaining the physical traces of its agricultural past while giving the historic object a new role in contemporary furniture design. the seat’s helical profile echoes the geometry of the original screw mechanism a cross-shaped aluminum structure connects the reclaimed wooden legs the 3 mm-thick aluminum frame contrasts with the weathered timber reclaimed wood and newly fabricated aluminum bring together old and new materials the design retains the physical character of the original agricultural object   the stool reinterprets a French cider press dating to the 1930s the design draws on Normandy’s history of apple cultivation and cider production the wooden elements preserve traces of the cider press’s agricultural past r...

Trotzdem achten wir bei einem neuen Kleid, einer Bluse oder einer gut sitzenden Jeans häufig genauer auf die Passform als bei den Teilen, die wir direkt auf der Haut tragen.

Foster + Partners and Bilbao architect Luis María Uriarte have completed Agravitas, an expansion that adds around 6,000 square meters to the museum while leaving its 1945 building and 1970 addition clearly visible below. The new structure stretches 55 meters between groups of tubular V-shaped columns, forming a broad elevated bridge whose deep cantilevers project toward the surrounding city. The museum reopens to the public on October 6th, 2026.   From the street, this upper layer changes the museum’s silhouette immediately. Its long horizontal edges extend well beyond the older masonry facade, while glazed sections reveal the depth of the volume behind them. The earlier buildings remain distinct within a complex that has grown in stages for almost a century. Foster + Partners and Uriarte won the international competition for the project in 2019, proposing to expand upward into the open space above the site. images © Foster + Partners     A NEW ROOM APPEARS UNDER THE BUILDING   Foster + Partners‘ strategy to lift the extension creates another major space underneath it. The former Plaza Arriaga has become a covered atrium of more than 1,000 square meters, sheltered beneath the underside of the gallery above. Francisco Durrio’s restored monument to Bilbao-born composer Juan Crisóstomo de Arriaga returns to the center of the space, beneath a six-meter circular opening cut through the overhead structure. Works by Eduardo Chillida and Richard Serra also occupy the atrium.   The atrium now sits at the center of a museum assembled through decades of additions. Visitors can enter again through the original doorway of the 1945 building, then cross the complex along a new north-south route that passes old facades, existing galleries, and the structure overhead. Changes in level have be... Read more

Gerade deshalb war ich bei der Ankündigung der dritten Generation neugierig: Was soll eine neue Maske im Alltag tatsächlich besser machen, wenn die bisherige Routine bereits funktioniert? Die Antwort liegt für mich weniger in der Zahl der LEDs als in der Möglichkeit, die Behandlung nach Hautzonen anzupassen. Die CurrentBody LED-Maske 3. Generation kombiniert sechs Lichtwellenlängen, vier voreingestellte Programme und die neue MyDose-Funktion. Ich zeige dir, was dahintersteckt, für wen sich die Investition lohnt und wann du deine Serie 2 guten Gewissens weiterverwenden kannst. Der Beitrag CurrentBody LED-Maske 3.

Conceived as a device for memory, reflection, and freedom, the work explores the relationship between individual experiences and a shared historical past.   The sculpture takes the form of an eight-meter-high vertical cylinder made from weathered corten steel, rising directly from the ground. Its surface is inscribed with the names of the soldiers from Arcozelo who served in the war. Referencing the military identification tags, or dog tags, used by the army, the engraved names turn a system of military classification into a collective record. Perforated markings distinguish those who departed and returned, while a cross identifies those who died in combat. all images ©Daniel Sorrentino     A reflective carnation crowns the corten steel cylinder   A stainless-steel carnation emerges from the top of the dark steel cylinder. As a symbol of Portugal’s Carnation Revolution and the end of the Colonial Wars, the flower introduces a contrasting material and visual element. The weathered, opaque surface of the corten steel meets the reflective brightness of stainless steel, establishing a material transition from darkness to light and from war to freedom.   The sculpture is closely connected to its surroundings. Its form rises from an open landscape whose subtle modeling evokes the sea crossed by thousands of young men sent to a distant continent. The terrain therefore becomes part of the monument, linking the physical act of departure with its historical meaning.   Structured around both diachronic and synchronic readings, From Darkness to Light by Meireles de Pinho Studio considers the succession of events through time alongside the coexistence of indiv...
