RR House by Studio Guilherme Torres

Studio Guilherme Torres have designed a penthouse apartment interior.
The young architect Guilherme Torres was called to redesign this duplex apartment penthouse in the Itaim neighbourhood, in São Paulo, Brazil.The building, a Rocco Associados project, is known by a huge Campana brothers sculpture, measuring 70m high, located in the building’s central atrium.The client, a young and single entrepreneur of the civil construction area, wished for a wide and contemporary apartment, where he could relax and receive his friends.All the walls were literally put down and all the installations were rebuilt. The main covering used was the polymer cement, used in floors, stairs and walls of the whole apartment.The main concept of the project is the big bookshelf that surrounds the whole living room. It not only organizes books, collections and electronic devices in niches but also becomes in a workstation. All this work was handcrafted by the woodcraftsman of the Studio Guilherme Torres, in Canadian oak.The kitchen was completely integrated to the living room. With a wide concrete table enchased to the main pillar, receiving the cooktop and Sérgio Rodrigues chairs.The pool table was a client request, who receives every week his friends to play. The client chose the model, that was painted blue.The furniture follows a color pallete inspired by the 70’s, with a rug in natural wool, features Vitra’s Slow Chairs.The upper floor gathers the home theater and a wide suite, with emphasis on the floor, all covered with demolition wood.

















DC09 chair by Kyoko Inoda and Nils Sveje.

This delicate chair is named DC09, which, in turn, reminds us of Alvar Aalto’s Artek and his product numbering. The chair’s thin seat and straight, slim legs disguise a deer-like strength and agility, allowing the wood to hug the body and the chair, elegantly, to take up minimum visual space.DC09 comes from Milan-based Inoda+Sveje Design Studio, established in Copenhagen in 2000 by Osaka-born Kyoko Inoda and Danish Nils Sveje. Japanese Miyazaki Isu manufactures this chair in teak, ash or Indonesian rose wood.

Emmet chair by Loll Designs

Greg Benson never could have predicted a future in furniture-making when he, along with his brother and a friend, followed their love of the outdoors and extreme sports to Duluth, Minnesota to manufacture TrueRide custom skate parks. While attempting to reuse scraps of recycled plastic sheeting, Greg employed a simple philosophy: what makes sense for skate parks makes sense for outdoor furniture. Four years later, Loll Designs was in business, with an energy and passion for nature that continues to touch everything they create.Loll staffers work and play hard. It's not unusual to find the team testing furniture on the deck of their hilltop building or going for a group run along the Superior Hiking Trail, right out their back door. These are people who really get outdoor furniture. Rather than finding short northern summers to be a hindrance, everyone at Loll jokes that the long winter actually gives them more time to be thoughtful about designing furniture.
 Emmet is made in Duluth, Minnesota, from 100 percent recycled HDPE—each chair is made from the equivalent of 400 recycled milk jugs. Durable, comfortable and easy to care for, Emmet will transform your idea of outdoor living.
