Слова инородные

Вот поэтому лучше воспринимать голос исполнителя как еще один инструмент, звуки и слова которого не имеют смысла. Тем более, что индустрия давно к этому идет.

Leve Office Bar Brings 1960s Office Design to Life as a Cocktail Bar in Turin

There is a particular decade when offices stopped looking like offices and started looking like something else entirely. The 1960s brought Space Age materials, saturated colour, fluid floor plans and a new conviction that the environments where people worked could be as thoughtfully designed as the products they made. Chrome and walnut replaced institutional grey. Cantilevered chairs replaced the rigid desk-and-chair binary. The workplace became a stage.

Turin-based designer Fabio Fantolino looked at all of that and saw a cocktail bar. The result, Leve Office Bar, is one of the most considered hospitality interiors to open in Italy this...

ADAM ALBIN: The Most Important Table in Stockholm Right Now

Stockholm has a new address that matters. ADAM ALBIN, the latest venture from Michelin-starred chef duo Adam Dahlberg and Albin Wessman, opened this spring on Regeringsgatan 2, a few steps from Gustav Adolfs Torg with sightlines across to the Royal Palace, the Royal Opera House, and the Swedish parliament. The views alone make a statement. Everything inside makes an even stronger one.

The pair have been cooking together for over two decades, building a reputation first at Bon Lloc and Mattias Dahlgren before launching their original restaurant, Adam/Albin, in 2012. That space picked up a Michelin star in 2022,...

Koda Padel Is the Sports Club Montreal Didn’t Know It Needed

There are sports facilities, and then there are spaces that make you want to stay long after the last match. Kopa, a new indoor racket sports club in the Pointe-Saint-Charles neighbourhood of Montreal, belongs firmly in the second category.

Set inside a freestanding single-story industrial building of roughly 20,000 square feet, the project is the work of Montreal studio Ivy Studio, and it arrives as something genuinely unexpected: a space that takes the utilitarian bones of manufacturing heritage and runs them through a hospitality lens so refined it feels more like a members’ club than a public sports venue.

MIUS: Hong Kong’s Most Quietly Confident New Bar

Sixteen years of bartending experience. One first solo venture. Shelley Tai’s MIUS on Gough Street in Hong Kong’s Central district is already the kind of place people talk about, and it is easy to understand why.

Designed by Minus Workshop’s Kevin Yiu, the 1,400 sq.ft. space, a former home appliance store, has been transformed into something far more considered. The brief was simple: block out Soho’s neon chaos and create a sanctuary. Blackout glazing on street-facing windows seals the city outside while soft daylight filters in, shifting to intimate layered glows after dark. Warm rusty oak runs through the...

The Lake House That Lives Like a Camera

There’s a house on a peninsula in rural Alabama that watches the water from three sides. Its architect, Jeffrey Dungan, says he thought of it as a camera, a device for framing and cropping the world outside. Inside, designer Betsy Brown stripped everything back until only the essential remained. What they produced together is something rare: a family home that feels both deeply rooted in place and entirely its own.

Lake Wehapa isn’t a name you’ll find on many design world itineraries. That’s part of the point. Dungan’s Birmingham-based practice has long been drawn to the particular poetry of...

Ekiben South — A Japanese Lantern on the Athens Riviera

There is a moment, just after dusk, when a building stops being a building and becomes something closer to a promise. On a corner in Glyfada, the Athenian Riviera neighbourhood that has always had one eye on Tokyo without quite knowing it, Ekiben South has become exactly that: a glowing amber volume suspended between the architecture of two cultures, serving dinner to one and paying quiet tribute to the other.

The project comes from Flux Office, the Athens-based practice led by Thanassis Demiris, Eva Manidaki, Betty Tsaousi and Ilektra Naoum, a team whose portfolio moves fluidly between restaurant architecture, theatrical scenography...
