Lincoln Park Home
The interiors at this Lincoln Park residence exude refined sophistication and timeless design. The experience begins at the illuminated foyer cabinet, where tasteful lighting sets the tone for a warm welcome. Adding an extra layer of elegance, the design team at Inspired Interiors incorporated Banker Wire's 3DZ-151 architectural wire mesh in the kitchen, foyer, and wet bar as cabinet inserts and partitions. This mesh's meticulous weaving provides increased rigidity through a balanced arrangement of the wires in the front and back.

Product • By Studio Stirling • Nest Egg Hanging Swing Chair
Nest Egg Hanging Swing Chair
The Nest Egg hanging chair swing seat is inspired from the organic forms in birds' nests and has a natural egg shape. The chair has been designed to be extremely comfortable and has a cozy cocoon-like feel. It will embrace your body with its nest-like form.
The Nest Egg now comes with legs / base as an option that does not need to be suspended.
They are ideal for inside or outside use and look gorgeous on a deck, patio, hanging from a branch of a tree or anywhere indoors.
Each one is made by hand. The core frame is standard to ensure consistency in shape and comfort. Due to the variance of craftsmanship going into each chair, every piece has individualism and uniqueness in some of the pattern detailing.

Strongly rooted in site, Peach Hut’s form and colour are inspired by surrounding orchard trees
To facilitate culture and art education in the rural region of Xiuwu, Henan, China, a series of miniature pavilions were constructed in different locations to serve the vast 630 square kilometre county area. Designed by Atelier XI, the cast-in-place concrete structures take on tree-like forms that reach out to the sky. Their locations vary from fields to forests to mountaintops, with their forms differing in response.

Cé Petite Wall
Cé audaciously blends a cascade of fringes with the soft and pure curves of solid bronze. The use of anthropomorphism adds a human touch and evokes a presence in the room, while the fringes contrast their straight lines with the plush atmosphere created by the light they sift. Complete with abridged proportions and just as much charm as its big sister. All in all, this forms a fabulously coherent piece worthy of the most impressive spaces on Earth. More
