MARECHIARO

The Marechiaro project is a shelving unit / a screen / a palisade / an architecture / a domestic landscape that questions the traditional use of the bookshelf and its presence in space. The system is a screen-cabinet which on one side is aimed at storing books and objects that are dear to us, and on the other side is a screen made up of wooden slats assembled in openwork to maintain a certain transparency. This dual use, this dual identity allows free and flexible use.   The system enables to create a space within space : thanks to these three modules (straight, concave and convex) the compositions offer infinite freedom in the creation of alcoves and perforated walls while adapting to the requirements of the architecture of the plac...

Siri residence

ARCHITECTURAL CONCEPT NOTE Siri is a tropical oasis cut away from the hustle and bustle of the tech city of Bengaluru.

These trees and the gentle topography of the site was also the perfect start point for the design.

Project • By hethos • Private Houses

Maison Saint-Laurent

  The clients have tasked the studio with a project involving the expansion of a bourgeois house dating back to 1810, alongside the restructuring of its ground floor. Situated within a sprawling property resembling an "archipelago" with various buildings scattered across two hectares of land, the extension is envisioned as a cohesive addition to the overall setting. Hethos   Situated within a rural landscape, the Saint-Laurent house stands at the center of a vast property. One of its distinctive features is its adjacency to several auxiliary structures, including an unused outbuilding. The proposed extension of the main house is viewed as a chance to increase living space in currently cramped and dimly lit areas, while als... More

Product • By Ligne Roset • PUKKA

PUKKA

Offering perfect comfort, the Pukka collection is a little marvel of design, which finds its roots in the great C&B period when Gaetano Pesce presented his UP50 collection in 1969. The latter had created a collection which paid homage to the sponge, affirming that he had been fascinated by a sponge in his shower and the way in which it always sprang back into its original shape. Yabu & Pushelberg thus take up this theme, adding a feminine design, soft and organic, which fills the space with sensual comfort. The detail of the stitching, the use of ultra-flexible foams and the tension of its lines obliged us to strive for a perfect piece of upholstery. This was only possible with the use of our very stretchiest fabrics: the new Gentle... More

Oever gallery

Oever Gallery, situated in Ostend, draws its name from the Dutch word for 'shore' or 'bank.' The gallery finds its roots deeply intertwined with the graffiti, street, and urban art culture that defines the city, serving as the foundation of the interior design concept. SKINN BRANDING AGENCY SKINN BRANDING AGENCY The project embodies a creative reversal, a reinterpretation of the conventional canvas of a street artist—the urban landscape—rendered with a refined, minimalist touch within the gallery's confines. The outcome is a stripped-down representation that captures the essence of the concrete jungle.
