Modi Sofa for your own design

It’s difficult to choose living room furniture that matches both your style and needs. The unusual idea comes from Italian company Moredesign. Modi sofa gives you an opportunity to create your own design. It is possible because of foundation holes with a set of modules which could be tested in different combinations. For example, you can easy transform the sofa into two armchairs and back. It consists of plenty of cushions including back and arm rest modules, corner pieces and even glass top to make an end table or coffee table. Modi sofa is also useful, when you invite guests and want to accommodate them in comfort. Thus, your chances are almost unlimited, if you are creative enough.

Contemporary Summer House Vestfold 2 in Norway

This unique house is located on the coast of Vestfold in the southern part of Norway. It was built as a summer residence and blends with the landscape greatly. Truth to say, it’s difficult to imagine that modern comfortable house could be situated on a terrain surrounded by rocks, but the designers from Jarmund / Vigsnæs AS Architects MNAL have implemented this idea. The house and terrace are partly built upon existing stone walls, other parts of the walls are made of stones from the blasting on the ground. The exterior is clad in wood and stone. As a whole, the house impressed us by its contemporary look, stylish pool and terrace which offer fascinating views of the water and rocks.

Modernatique Chair by Hyung Suk Cho

This contemporary chair was presented in the Festival 2010 in Seoul, Korea. Designer Hyung Suk Cho tried to combine modern and antique styles in these furniture items. Modernatique collection is the embodiment of elegance and grace of the lines. It was made from ash or walnut and available in black and white colors. Curved frame and tapered legs of the chair create contemporary elegant look, and to my mind, Modernatique collection is more modern than antique. So you can choose between Black version with walnut or White version with ash-tree. In any way this furniture will beautify your interior.

Self-sterilizing door handle by Bomi Choi

We do not pay attention to door handles, except when we want to open the door. I also have never thought about it before. Door handles are always dirty, especially in public places. That's why we need the door handles which sterilize themselves. Bomi Choi solved the problem and won the award Red Dot Design Concept. It's pretty simple and straightforward idea. The design uses ultra violet light. When the door knob untouched, the UV lamp will light up and begin the processes of sterilization. As soon as you try to take it, UV lamp will switch off. UV Ray is a very good and effective means to kill bacteria and germs.
