Interior of a house in Jaworzno
The area of 370m2 is spread over two floors. The ground floor is the living part of the house with a large living room open to the garden and a dining room and kitchen in the front part of the building. A characteristic element that organizes and divides the space is a black "box" integrating in its form both the functional elements of the above-mentioned key functions of the daily zone of the house as well as several supplementary rooms and vertical communication (stairs).

Extension to the Historisches Museum in Bern
With the ‘Kubus/Titan’ project, the Swiss architecture bureau ‘:mlzd’ has succeeded in solving the long-running space problem at the Historisches Museum Bern and at the same time has made a contribution to urban development.
Designed by the architect André Lambert, a multipartite castle-like building was constructed in 1894, prominently located at the head of the Kirchenfeld Bridge. Originally conceived as the national museum, the design was built in a reduced form as the Historische Museum Bern after Zurich was selected as the location for the Swiss National Museum.

Joko
Studio Bartoli Design had been working for years on a project for a poetically minimalist chair. The outcome is Joko, an absolute product. The difficulty lay in minimising it as far as possible, without making it too basic or rigid. Its distinguishing feature is the single fused shape, which is soft and organic, of its surfaces that include the front legs, the back and the rear legs. Its continuous surface can be upholstered in a variety of materials: in leather and in fabric in different colours and versions.
Upholstered finish:
DIVINA MELANGE 2 (Kvadrat®) fabric
