'Contrast' is a motto of architects of  M House
M House Project by Architect Marcel Luchian has a very unusual and arresting design, that primarily caused by contrast: composition of used material - glass and concrete, contrast of colors - matted dark and glossy bright, the contrast of forms of two shifted relatively to each other floors. As if the motto of the basis of the architects' design was a contrast. The luxury residence is situated in Singera, Moldavia. The interior minimalist design is also surprising by the unusual combinations of textures, light and shadow. The heating and air conditioning system are provided. M House Project will be presented at the 2013 GIS Architecture Expo Conference.

So beautiful and so naturally a flower in the vase by Japanese designers looks!

Semi equipment, Semi decor:  Homedia TV by Robert Bronwasser
To give to an ordinary TV a natural and more suitable position within furniture interiors, designer Robert Bronwasser from SMOOL decided to dress it in fabric. The idea was to add a new spirit into the field which hasn’t been progressing for a long time, that is, to the design of the TV exterior. As a result the Homedia concept has appeared. Foreseeing a TV's new future role as a decor, along with modifying the material and color palette of the TV, designer has tried to change a form of an equipment too. It has a streamlined shape, passing into triangular form at the bottom. Homedia will be shown during Milan Design Week 2013.

Luxurious 'Darius' Armchair by Leolux
Darius is an incredibly comfortable chair designed by Jan Armgardt from Leolux. The armchair with its high back is very similar to the throne, shaped as if enveloping the user sitting in it. The armrests, smoothly flowing out of the solid mass, also give an important contribution to comfort. Together with an ottoman for feet this piece of furniture is perfect for rest and relaxation. By supplementing with a neat little table the armchair looks very elegant and chic. One more advantage is that the colorful interchangeable upholstery can be chosen for the front and rear separately. And the frame, ending the silhouette of chair can also be selected from the high-gloss chrome, satin chrome or lacquer/epoxy.

Renovated Penthouse with a Slide by David Hotson
We often do not have enough fun in our life. We used to do everything according to the rules and plans. The architect David Hotson decided to remedy this situation by turning the space of renovated 19th-century penthouse in New York City into an amusement park for children and their parents. The first and the most remarkable thing have been added to the four stories building is a silvery tubular slide, made of polished stainless steel, spiraling down through all four stories and giving an exit only on the third floor and then at the very first floor. Of course, it is not the only way to travel between the floors. There is a beautiful white staircase that offers a slower path between floors, where you can enjoy many interesting playful details, including neon furniture and artwork. At the center of the building there is a well-like four-story entry hall that brings daylight down. This penthouse is a really brave architect's decision and a wonderful work of art.
