opus incertumtags: miscellanea

ALTHOUGH CHAOS d furnitureANIZATION seem at loggerheads with each other, Sean Yoo’s Opus Incertum manages to corral both of these seemingly contradictory traits together. The rectangular polypropylene design is functional an versatile, as it can be stacked and is outdoor friendly. The inside shelving entertains our more entropic tendencies, with the appearance of an irregular beehive; unlike most shelves, Opus seems more at peace empty than full. $420, d furniture Popularity: 4% [?]

Combination Convection Steam Ovens offer Versatile Cooking

New on the kitchen scene for those who take their culinary skills seriously is the new wave of combination convection / steam ovens. This innovative dual oven system combines the dry heat of a convection oven with non-pressurized steam in precisely calibrated portions. It is gentle on food preserving shape, color, nutrients, and flavor, without adding anything harmful or fattening. Combined with hot air, steam opens up all kinds of possibilities like steaming, baking, simmering, braising, reheating, and juicing. Two combination convection steam oven that I recommend are the Viking which holds 5 ¼ cups of water and cooks at 212 F for 2 hours, and cooks remarkably even with help from a convection fan. $3600 Another model that caught my interest, and sense of style is the Gaggenau model that has a direct water feed instead of a tank for lengthy cooking time. $4650 Available in 24 and 36 inch widths. True these ovens are a good bit more than a conventional oven, but offer an entirely versatile cooking experience for those who enjoy time in the kitchen.

Ideas for Small Apartments from Compact Living

In the last month I’ve got a few emails from people asking me if I can find and post a few things and ideas for small apartments. I’ve searched a little and I’ve found Compact Living, a company that designs prefabricated easy-to-install lofts for just about any space. Just contact them with the dimensions of your space and they produce a custom loft for you. There are multiple options from sleeping lofts to larger extended living lofts. The ideas presented in this post are for very very small apartments. As you can see in these small places the only way to earn some additional space is to have a suspended bed. Personally I like the final results of these small apartments, but I don’t think that I would like to live in a space so small. - Via - furniturestoreblog

King of Siam Shelf

King of Siam is a combination of two shelfing units by moebler, , a new Berlin based design/art group.

I’m sure that with a bookshelve like this you can arrange your books and souvenirs in a lot of creative ways. - Via - designspotter

Defendius Door Chain

Yesterday was 1 April ( April Fools’ Day ), and this door chain concept designed by Artemy Lebedev fell into the category of a good joke. I don’t like the April Fools’ Day, but this door chair is really funny, and appropriate for a day like this. The only problem with something like this might be …if you have a visitor you might have a dialog like this : “I’ll be right there, hold on!“, after 2 minutes …  “Just one more minute, I’ve almost got it!“, because the chain is long enough to reach the far end of the maze. - Via - Tranism

Coffee Table with an Eco-friendly Fireplace

I know that the winter is almost over, and the fireplaces are not used so more anymore but this Coffee Table with a built-in eco-friendly fireplace is a piece of furniture that is perfect for a contemporary interior. The GF-160 fire coffee table model, is made of natural veneer wenge and covered with the polyurethane varnish for increased durability, making it resistant to water, alcohol and high temperatures. The table comes inclusive of a lighter with extended tip and decorative stones. This table is a mobile fire solution without any installation or a chimney, which can be set in any desired space, even in the middle of a Living Room. The lighting of Planika Fire is extremely easy and safe as it uses FANOLA fuel which is not accompanied by fumes or smell. Only water vapour and CO2 are emitted - in proportions similar to those contained in the air exhaled by humans. - Via - Bornrich
