BLOOMBERG CARDBOARD HEADQUARTERS

“At the main headquarters in London, Bloomberg hired designer Liam Hopkins of Lazerian to create their meeting area.

Liam used reclaimed cardboard and pallets waste from the company to create this space “Pupa”. The form and aesthetics are inspired by natural habitats – cocoons, bee hives, spiders nests and weaver birds nests.

The ceiling assumes the appearance of a shelter; snug and cave like, but also references the vaulted ceilings of church naves.”

Located in La Boyita, Punta del Este, Uruguay designed by Martin Gomes Arquitectos.

Absolutely love the contrast of the warm wood tones against the sleek stainless steel. The wicker basket and lighting fixtures add a rustic touch and some great texture, too. Fabuloso!

Alentejo Cork Bowls by Daniel Michalik @ Branch

Michalik uses recycled cork to create modern eco.friendly accessories that would work well in a variety of decor schemes. The Alentejo Cork Bowls were “inspired by the traditional drinking vessel used by cork harvesters to stay hydrated in the hot, arid fields where cork grows.” Each of these simple, clean-lined bowls is handmade [the larger ones in Portugal; the smaller ones in Brooklyn], resulting in each piece being unique in shape and style.

glucksteinhome:

IDS12 highlight: Sari rugs. These gorgeous rugs from Elte are made from recycled vintage saris. Up to 100 saris are used per rug and the look is unique and sophisticated.

Stunning! Love the colours + textures. I’ve used saris in my designs for HGTV before, but have never seen recycled ones used in such a creative way. Love it!

la californie

Home of the inimitable Pablo Picasso. Just look at those dramatic Art Nouveau doors [swoon!]. They look quite Gaudi-esqe, my fave Architect. I love this space, though I could use a lot less of the clutter.
