Dauphin Energies - Brand identity

Mesh-covered Buenos Aires wine shop designed to "resonate with the city's texture"

Local studio Juan Campanini – Josefina Sposito has fronted wine shop Enofilo with a metallic mesh facade that responds directly to the complex Buenos Aires streetscape.

At 175 square metres (1,883 square feet), Enofilo opened in 2025 inside an existing house on Avenida Juramento in the rapidly densifying Bajo Belgrano neighbourhood.

The studio worked to create a space that worked with the challenging spatial and stylistic constraints of the neighbourhood.

"The project was inspired by the challenge of working within a city like Buenos Aires – a place made up of...

Design Criticism: Are These Transitions Good or Bad?

In design, the transitions between surfaces are everything. And in a perfect world, those surfaces are designed at the same time, giving the designer the luxury of thinking things through.

Sometimes, however, things need to be retrofit. And then it's up to someone who may not have any design training at all to come up with a coping solution. What do you think of these four executions:

My opinions:

1. Way too busy, and distracts from the original molding, which is meant to be a design feature; downspouts are not. I...

Трусовое проклятье

Раньше дебильно выглядели только трусы всяких модных брендов. Не знаю, кем надо быть, чтобы носить трусы с огромной надписью «Кельвин Кляйн» на резинке, честно говоря. Но при этом всякие обычные бренды таким не занимались.

Но что-то эта эра подходит к концу. Пару месяцев назад в Гонконге я столкнулся с тем, что «Маркс и Спенсер» больше не продают обычные трусы, только с дебильной надписью на резинке. А теперь вот оказалось, что и «Резервед» разучился. Хорошо хоть «Уникло» пока держится.

Насчёт «Белорусского трикотажа» не знаю, как там дела обстоят, не смотрел.

Rimowa and Vitra's Luggage-like Aluminum Stool

This unusual object is the Aluminum Stool, by Rimowa and Vitra.

The German luggage manufacturer and the Swiss design furniture company collaborated to create just 1,000 of these; and while the overall look is pure Rimowa, the piece is meant to be storage furniture, not luggage. "It is almost a typology of its own," says Christian Grosen, Vitra's Chief Design Officer. "While the cube format might not be so practical for a suitcase, it's ideal for sitting and storage."

Industrial Designer Sabine Marcelis Upgrade's Ikea's Hot-Selling Lamp

The VARMBLIXT, Ikea's donut-shaped lamp, was designed three years ago by Rotterdam-based industrial designer Sabine Marcelis. Since then, it's been selling like hotcakes; the company says they sell one every five minutes.

Now the design's getting an upgrade, courtesy of Marcelis. The finish has been switched from glossy to matte, and instead of only coming in orange, she's added color variability:

Felt updates mid-century bungalow in Ghent with blue-tiled tower

Belgian architecture studio Felt has renovated a mid-century home in Ghent, adding an entrance space and staircase within a "compact tower" clad in blue ceramic tiles.

The renovation, named Daniël, required Felt to rework the 315-square-metre bungalow to better cater to family life, while still maintaining the mid-century character of its rectilinear, white-painted brick structure.

Felt focused its efforts on an awkward "circulation knot" at the centre of the home's T-shaped plan, where its single-storey living wing abuts a split-level bedroom volume in what was formerly a cramped entrance area.

To open up this space, the...
