Swingrest Hanging Lounger Posted: 31 Jan 2014 04:52 PM PST Partially sharing the name and structure with the iconic NESTREST hanging lounger from DEDON, Swingrest is making it's own class. It's a design by Daniel Pouzet, and it is the first product that emerged from Dedon Island resort. This Swingrest has been inspired by the extra-high ceilings of the villas in the resort. In comparison to the Nestrest, although it borrows the basket-like bottom from it, the Swingrest offers more space, fitting more people at once, while occupying less space. It has a concept that is pure and simple, allowing you yo hang it in the veranda or the terrace, and if you like you can even hang it or set it on the ground indoors. Instead of a complicated detail in the design, Pouzet concentrated on making the tabletop rotate 180°, it's suspension system, and also on the cord that is meant to wrap around the tubing.

The One Square Metre House Posted: 31 Jan 2014 05:55 AM PST Have you heard about the world's smallest house? Well you should definitely see this one, because no small house you've seen already is as small as the one that Van Bo Le-Metnzel of Hartz IV Möbel designed. It is exactly One Sqm. Together with Corinne Rose from Berlin's BMW Guggenheim Lab they have decided to build a global village with this mobile tiny houses. Le-Metnzel has dedicated his life to studying the home concept. This house is remarkably adaptable, offering the possibility of rolling it away to any place you like, it can be laid down for when you need to go to sleep, or it can be seated upright so that it can be a meeting place or a mobile shop. The necessary to built such a house gets to the costs of €250. Rose and Le-Mentzel want to send the home into a six year tour around the world, counting particularly on Mumbai and New York residents. In other words, if you are tired of being bounded by expensive real estates or not being able to afford a space of your-own, you can call for a One-Sqm-House revolution. Would you join the cause?
