Helione

In our world, where the future has already arrived, the physical realm now moves in parallel with its virtual counterpart. More and more, everything real is being transferred into the digital space. The global internet network now reaches nearly every corner of the Earth, while satellites surround the planet, enabling global digital communication. In this project, we visualized our own interpretation of a virtual reflection of reality ? a world where the physical is made of atoms, and the virtual is built from digital micro-particles: numbers. Helione is a modern cybersecurity company that collaborates with leading global brands, offering some of the...

Taipei restaurant features lights resembling bamboo stalks

Warm and earthy tones and materials were used to create Taiwanese fine-dining restaurant Logy, which architect Keiji Ashizawa designed for "intimate dining experiences".

Located in Neihu, Taipei's business district, Logy's interior was designed in reference to the Taiwanese and Japanese ingredients that its chef, Ryogo Tahara, uses in his cooking.

Visitors enter the space via a brick-clad waiting area, where downlit teapots decorate the terracotta-hued wall.

This leads into the main dining space, where Ashizawa combined brick and plaster walls with walnut wood panelling and reddish-brown curtains to give the high-ceilinged room a more intimate feel.

A Plywood Chair That Goes Against the Grain — The Wooden Cantilever Chair from Time & Style

A part of Time & Style's 2025 Collection, the Wooden Cantilever Chair is a singular creation that erases and rewrites the aesthetic of plywood furniture.

Lightweight, strong, resource maximizing; plywood is a revolutionary material of unquestionable benefit to furniture manufacturing and home construction. It does have an ugly side though. And we aren't talking the adhesive which binds the plies together, which were bad, but are getting better. The ugly side is ugly, un-asethetic. It is the edge. The ply. Its malignant presence marring many otherwise exemplary furniture designs. From the Eames through Yanagi, to Stark, designers have shaped...

Time & Style, Fine Japanese Furniture — Milan 2025 Take-Aways

Thanks to Designboom founders Birgit and Massimo we toured the Milan showroom of Japanese furniture company Time & Style, a treasure-filled space we likely would have missed otherwise.

Here are some standout pieces from our visit, first in...
