Federico Stefanovich revamps studio in 1920s Mexico City building to showcase his lighting

Cory Johnson's Infinite Pocket Jeans

Remember these ridiculous jeans created by Werther's Originals? They had 30 coin pockets up and down the legs, intended to provide stash space for the candy company's treats.

Now Cory Johnson, a Missouri-based fashion artist who works with found materials, has gone a step further. His Infinite Pocket Jeans have been Frankensteined together from thrift shop jeans, yielding some 41 pockets.

Constructing the pants out of the most substantial parts of jeans brings a trade-off. "These jeans are very thick and are warm," Johnson writes. "Best for fall and winter."

These are a one-of-one...

In response, the Edinburgh-based studio created a new secondary entrance into the home via a single-storey brick extension, providing direct access into...

Multidisciplinary Health Center Bordeaux Dunant / Bartolo+Contré

The healthcare sector is currently undergoing significant changes. As medical practices become increasingly collaborative, architecture must evolve beyond the traditional model of isolated consultation rooms and technical facilities. The Centre de santé multidisciplinaire Dunant in Bordeaux was designed as the architectural embodiment of this transition: a building where the spatial layout actively promotes cooperation, well-being, and new forms of outpatient care.

Grid radiator by Elisa Ossino for Tubes

Dezeen Showroom: Italian brand Tubes and designer Elisa Ossino bring an echo of the workshop tool board to heating design with their electric Grid radiator.

Taking the form of a thin panel of perforated aluminium, Grid combines "tidiness, aesthetic modularity and minimal rigour", according to Tubes.

Its geometric surface turns the radiator into an architectural element while serving as an attachment point for optional accessories like shelves or hooks – a feature that is particularly practical in the bathroom.

"The object is a reinvented everyday ritual, where warmth meets geometric elegance," said Ossino....
