The Integrated Bar Block by Henrybuilt is an additional piece to the free standing island but looks meant to be. Each Bar Block is handmade from solid wood to extend any kitchen system with a bevy of drawers, storage, and cutting boards. Seriously, I’m looking into my kitchen with disdain. We often see elaborate kitchens in magazines when the reality is most of us have tiny ones. This is a perfect example of crafted functionality for real kitchens.

The bar block is configured into storage modules: a drawer with an angled bottom supports spice jar storage, three solid wood sculpted cutting boards with anti-slide feet stack in another bay, another drawer has a fitted knife block capable of storing nine knives with blades up to 9” long. Outlets and switches can also be built into the block. Each module can be tailored to suit the needs of each client by their Henrybuilt designer. The piece is available in Henrybuilt’s carefully chosen palette of colors and materials

A small armchair Designers at Sand & Birch Luxury Design have designed this lovely little thing by the name of “Smile.” S&B pride themselves in being known as designers who take a special amount of time and effort in choosing their shapes and materials so as to create not just seats, but sculptural furniture. With this Smile chair, they took a stab at clashing what they find great in both fullness and compact design. Smoothness, niceness, a big set of chompers.

It’ll come eventually in blue or white, made up of varnished polyurethane, or the special edition which will have a nice cushion and will be covered in velvet, cotton and silk, colors in gray and white.

Argentinian designer Federico Churba has created the Hanoi Lamp.

Federico says: Apparent simplicity for a harmonious complexity of shapes. This lamp is realised in one horizontal plane that acquires form and volume through the bends of the material. A formal simpleness defined by details. A warm and intimate light, like the kind gesture of someone bowing down in greeting

This vacation retreat, located on an extraordinary beachfront setting, was designed as two separate buildings—one for living and eating, and the other for sleeping. The separate bedroom wing provides extra privacy, so late-night entertaining does not disturb sleeping children or weary parents, as the case may be. Extensive water views, generous decks, and the sheltering orientation of the two buildings contribute to a fluid relationship between living areas and the surrounding seascape.

Located at the northwest corner of Hat Island in Puget Sound near Washington’s San Juan Islands, the home is on a narrow waterfront site situated in a relatively dense beach front development of single family homes. Except for the adjacent development to the north and south, the area is in a pristine marine environment where the experience of the water and wildlife is essential to being there
