Fantastic Glass Houses by Carlo Santambrogio and Ennio Arosio
These elegant, stylish and original houses of glass are the product of the joint creative work of designers Carlo Santambrogio (Santambrogiomilano) and Ennio Arosio. The transparent housing is made of extra clear glass: structural glass pieces are the basic constructing unit of everything inside the house, except for the ground floor. There are two offers: the 'Snow House', constructed of thicker panes capable of withstanding larger loads, which can be located in cold climates, and the 'Cliff House', constructed of thinner lighter glass elements, for milder climates. In general, the houses look fantastic, incredibly beautiful, but a little bit cold because of the material. Such clear and transparent house is the best for picturesque surroundings, there is a feeling of truly neverending connection with the outside world. And what a wonderful nap right under the stars, accompanying and meeting the sun!

'Casa Caburé' House in the Ecological Place by Nómade Architects
This house (Nómade Architects) is located in the ecological place Los Huemules (Argentina). The construction of the house was fully subordinated to the spirit and the proportions of the surrounding nature. The size of the house perfectly corresponds to the free area between the trees and even the height it's rising from the ground is only 45 cm. The one storey housing of the project is 130 m². The simple layout of the house provides a comfortable separation between public and private spaces. Wood and metal which became main materials for construction provide the spatial and textural warmth. Not to break the harmony of the composition, the beech wood is used the same as the surrounding forest. Large panoramic windows also amplify and complement the composition. The real life of intimacy with nature should look like this.

'Fabbrica del vapore' Vases in Mouth Blown Glass Created by Ionna Vautrin and Guillaume Delvign
Cooperation of artists and designers always gives excellent results. This is about a series of vases 'Fabbrica del vapore' created by French designers Ionna Vautrin and Guillaume Delvigne in 2008. The vase consists of two parts - of the vase itself in mouth blown glass and of ceramic base. There is a choice of different unusual asymmetrical shapes, sizes and colors. In our opinion, a better result can be achieved by using a combination of several vases, located in the same room. The series was presented during the Milan Furniture Fair 2008 inside the exhibition “Industreal Overture”; the Wallpaper Award 2009 of the best vase was received for this work.

'<3 Side Table' with Two Legs by Jonathan Sabine
If you want to change your awareness of the stability, then you should take a look at the '<3 Side Table'. Nowhere else you will find a table with only two legs and there should be no doubt of its stability. Technically it is possible due to bent tubular steel leg with the two points contacting with a floor. Except its extraordinariness, the table is so elegant and light, like a performing a rotation ballerina, elegantly and coquettishly bending her leg. As a result the table is asymmetrical and its outward appearance depends on view angle. The designer of the table is Jonathan Sabine from Toronto.
