Castley McCrimmon Architects adds "respectful and measured" extension to Gilbert's Cottage

Neutral tones and glimpses of garden spaces define this extension to a 1870s cottage in Albany, Western Australia, revealed here exclusively by Australian studio Castley McCrimmon Architects.

Named Gilbert's Cottage, the existing single-storey home was renovated to contain three bedrooms and a bathroom, while a glazed corridor leads to an open-plan kitchen, living and dining room in the extension.

Castley McCrimmon Architects aimed to create a pared-back extension that complemented the appearance of the existing home while also nodding to the client's love of 20th-century modernist architecture.

The studio kept the extension's roofline slightly...

Jony Ive and Marc Newson shun touchscreens for interior of Ferrari's first electric car

Carmaker Ferrari has released preview images of the interiors for its first electric car, Ferrari Luce, designed with Jony Ive, Marc Newson and their design studio LoveFrom.

Mechanical buttons, dials, toggles and switches abound across the car's interfaces, unveiled this week ahead of the exterior reveal in May.

LoveFrom, the collaborative studio of former Apple design boss Jony Ive and Australian industrial designer Marc Newson, conceived the interior to defy the convention that "electric cars must be dominated by large touchscreens".

Instead, the design team prioritised physical controls, inspired by the design of...

Ten Verner Panton products that have stood the test of time

The late mid-century modern designer Verner Panton was born 100 years ago today. To mark the occasion, we have rounded up 10 of his most enduring pieces of furniture and lighting.

Born in Brahesborg-Gamtofte in Denmark on 13 February 1926, Panton left an indelible mark on the design industry and is remembered as a household name who dared to experiment with swathes of colour, shapes and materials.

His career spanned furniture, lighting and product design as well as interiors and architecture – a common feature among many of Panton's mid-century peers, who were considered polymaths for their multidisciplinary capabilities.

To mark 100 years...

Verner Panton preferred experimentation to "beautiful platitude"

Verner Panton caused a sensation with his pioneering approach to furniture and lighting design. To mark the centenary of the Danish designer's birth today, we profile the man whose colourful pieces and interiors defined an era.

With their vibrant colours and undulating shapes, Verner Panton's Heart Cone and Panton chairs are among the most iconic design pieces to come out of the 1950s and '60s.

Verner Panton, who also created architecture and interiors, had a unique design language and commitment to industrial manufacture that made him stand out from the other designers of the time.

In the latest episode of Dezeen Weekly, we talk about why protestors staged a demonstration outside the office of BIG, and whether a Saudi-inspired proposal for a high-speed railway connecting five countries is realistic.

This week's podcast covers the industrial dispute that has broken out at the London office of BIG and explores the current state of unionisation in architecture.

We also consider RIBA president Chris Williamson's ambitious infrastructure design The Loop, and discuss whether this year's unusual edition of Stockholm Design Week could signal a change in the way the furniture industry markets its products.

Расположение подписей не влияют на скорость заполнения

Юля Кондратьева по следам нашего подкаста решила поизучать подробнее, куда же ставить лейблы в форме: слева от полей или над полями. Я недоволен. В выводе у Юли написано так:

Скорость заполнения или количество ошибок в большинстве исследований никак не зависят от расположения лейблов. С точки зрения создания дизайн-системы проще делать названия над полем, чтобы проще адаптировать мобильные-десктопные дизайны.

При беглом чтении можно решить, что в целом лучше ставить сверху: «людям всё равно, а дизайнерам удобне сверху».

Но это же совершенно неправильный вывод! Тут единственный довод в пользу расположения подписей сверху связан с удобством дизайнеров, а не с качеством результата. В то же время сам результат одинаковый только с точки зрения скорости заполнения, а другие соображения тут не принимаются во внимание.

В жизни с этими подписями всё происходит ровно наоборот. Ты объясняешь дизайнеру, почему подписи следует ставить слева:...

Nicola Weetch designs London Fields record bar "to feel lived-in"

Hackney restaurant and listening bar Bambi has been doubled in size with a revamped interior and a custom-made stainless-steel-and-wood wall cabinet for vinyl records.

Designer Nicola Weetch led the interior design of the project, which came about after Bambi expanded into an empty venue behind the back wall of its London Fields space.

"The design challenge was to make a space that not only worked for music, but also as a restaurant and bar," Weetch told Dezeen.

"The DJ booth in the middle of the room and record wall were essential for the music side...
