Leonardo Glass Cube – Exhibition pavilion with conference rooms

Having developed a number of temporary architectures and several virtual architectural concepts, the Leonardo Glass Cube is the first permanent building implemented by 3deluxe. The result of the interdisciplinary design process is an integrative concept that combines architecture, interior design, graphic design and landscape architecture into a complex aesthetic entity. from Leonardo Glass Cube by 3Deluxe

The new conceptual torch light designed by Slovenian designer Tilen Sepic, is something that has been picked straight out of the sci-fi movies. The whole idea of the concept as per the designer is to produce a working light without the hassle of shadows being reflected in the object. The device is supposed to be worn like a glove around the wrist and the light is emitted through the white LED which is a part of the device. from Torch White LED Light Glove

The Ahrend 750 lounge worksite is a luxurious, amply dimensioned worksite offering a great deal of privacy for flexi-workers and members of staff whose work involves a great deal of travel and activity and who need to sit down (together or alone) from time to time to touch base. This modular system allows configurations meeting highly specific customer requirements to be created at a competitive price. Ergonomics and comfort are the key words here. The electrically adjustable easy chair complies fully with the relevant standard EN 1335 and the Dutch Practical Guideline NPR 1813, and meets all the demands that might be made on a high-quality working chair.
Main features

A lounge worksite is put together by combining a number of different modules. Essential units to start off with are an electrically adjustable easy chair and a height-adjustable table. A combination of fixed easy chairs some of which may be in a corner, and stools at the end of a row or a second electrically adjustable easy chair if appropriate, may be added to complete the assembly. The whole is mounted on a deck, under which all the necessary cabling can be neatly stored away.

The chairs all have a high backrest to give the set-up a feeling of intimacy, and are upholstered all round as standard. The configuration functions best when free-standing. This cuts down noise from the surroundings and eliminates the need for partitions round the worksite, thus cutting costs. from Ahrend 750 Lounge
