From the first sight Anti Crise Chair is the designer's funny invention to make the ordinary thing being extraordinary. But the main idea of Portuguese industrial designer Pedro Gomes, who has created this chair, was totally different. In the era of difficulties and crises he tried to do his best as a designer - he proposed to the world a facility to save the salary. There are three strategic parts of his product: the first one is a traditional money pot; the second part is a feeling of emergency which is connected with the only one way to have an access to the saved up money - to cut a chair with a handsaw integrated into the back of the chair; and the third part is a birth of a new material personality after the procedure of getting money. Pedro Gomes positions his product as an experimental object, a furniture piece played as a manifest.

A unique sustainable home was formed from an industrial dock on Oregon’s Willamette River by Robert Ozhatz, Oregon-based organic architect. Now it is used for a summer house of a family. This eco construction was built using materials made of small pieces of timber that glued together. The material provides lighter weight for the construction. The floating house has two levels where there is a living area consisting of the bedrooms, bathrooms and dining room. There are some spaces and windows, made of expansive glass, that open a fantastic view of the river. The appearance of the house is typical for curvaceous, swooping architecture of Robert Ozhatz and reminds a form of a big wave.
