Rest Collection by Vondom

The New Rest collection from Vondom was inspired by Origami, the Japanese art based in the folding of paper in order to get different forms and by the thinking line “Less is more”. The composition is formed by an armchair, sofa, and table, of which modular structure allows you to adapt them freely to any purpose in any space.

The manufacture technique is the rotomoulding, focused on a technology process that guarantees the maximum quality taking care of every detail. Rest shows the essence from its creators always loyal to elegance, beauty and exclusivity as the total adaption to customers.

From geometrical defined forms, along with the dynamic, elegant and lightness features, Rest is a collection that offers the maximum comfort to its users and is integrated perfectly in avant-garde architecture, thanks to its contemporary design from Spanish architects Joaquín Torres and Rafael Llamazares of A-cero Studio.

Fame Agenda Store

 

Australian architect Matt Gibson has designed a shop interior for the fashion retailer Fame Agenda, located in the Docklands of Melbourne, Australia.

Involving concepts of ‘transparency and illusion’ and bringing customers minds in-between interior and exterior this store plays on the perspective of the ‘arcade’. A random and organic set of arches inspired by Thomas Heatherwick’s sculptural works merge to form a cave like enclosure from within the confines of the rectilinear shell. Providing intimacy and protection from the elevated & wind blown Docklands promenade the organic arches intend to shift the visitor inwards toward the end of the awkward ‘L ‘shaped plan & at the same time provide merchandising benches, walls and ceiling. The arches partially cover existing structural piers & terminate with mirrored cladding behind the sales counter seemingly extending the space and encouraging a play on perspective.
