Rocking on the beach. Joon & Jung.

The ugliness of the city can take you now to the beautyfulness of the seashore.
Joon & Jung's Rocking on the beach chairs combine pipes making this perfect ugly cool chair in which you can dream you are near the sea.
They create products "learning from the environment, designing the essential of this era".

Pressed chair. Harry Thaler.

This Harry Thaler sit is the most remarcable object presented on the Royal college of arts show.
His proposal was to build a chair without any joints and made just with one material, aluminium 100% reciclable.
The point is, would this new old chair long to become old, or the legs would break before two years pass?

Flow 2. studio GORM.

The second version of this romantic kitchen starts as a good idea and a perfect execution,
but we`re far away of watering a plant with soap and don't kill it.
Studio Gorm should adapt it to real life, I would probably get one.

Xanadu House. Bob Masters.

The Xanadu Houses were a series of experimental homes, built to showcase examples of
computers and automation in the home in the United States. The architectural project began in
1979, and during the early 1980s three houses were built in different parts of the United States:
one each in Kissimmee, Florida; Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin; and Gatlinburg, Tennessee. The
houses included novel construction and design techniques, and became popular tourist
attractions during the 1980s.

The Xanadu Houses were notable for being built with polyurethane insulation foam rather than
concrete, for easy, fast, and cost-effective construction. They were ergonomically designed, and
contained some of the earliest home automation systems. The Kissimmee Xanadu, designed by
Roy Mason, was the most popular, and at its peak was attracting 1000 visitors every day. The
Wisconsin Dells and Gatlinburg houses were closed and demolished in the early 1990s; the
Kissimmee Xanadu House was closed in 1996 and demolished in October 2005.
