Stacked Stools

This piece at APAP was a beautiful room built out of stacked plastic stools. Light filtered through the yellow stools casts a warm glow on everything. I would love to have a room like this somewhere in my home. It would make a nice meditative spot.

by admin on April 30th, 2006

Long before green buildings entered popular vocabulary, futuristic eco-architect Paolo Soleri was pioneering his vision of an entire city — or arcology – structured in harmony with nature. Soleri’s unique theoretical and design work is showcased this month at the Boston Architectural Center in Boston’s Back Bay. Soleri will deliver the annual Cascieri 14 Lectureship in Humanities on April 20th and his work is also the subject of a gallery exhibition. The Architecture of Place, The Place of Architecture, at the BAC through the end of the month. Originally posted by Gretchen from Inhabitat

Rome-based Central Unit Design, a four-person architect-design collective, introduced their sectional Dino Sofa at Milan's Salone Satellite earlier this month. Designed for indoor and outdoor use in public places like museums, airports, and parks, the animalized seating is made of Waterlily and Framefoam, both eco-friendly materials. Though not yet in production, each vertebrae-like section is intended for two people and makes the transition outdoors with a new method called "oven painting." Check out another image showing the Dino's whimsical possibilities after the jump and a close up on Mocoloco. TAGS: Design, Furniture, Housewares, Milan,
