Patio Furniture from BB Italia - new modern Springtime patio collection

The new modern Springtime patio furniture collection from B&B Italia offers a large range of patio products, most of them adjustable to multiple seating configurations. Sofas are an important part of the collection, having minimalistic but impressive designs. This was realised by using straight, clean line frames, made out of aluminium. The seating parts are covered in waterproof fabrics, available in three shades: grey, anthracite and acid green. Besides sofas, there are the chaise lounges, which can be adjusted according to functional needs. The comfy headrests can be lined up or positioned in opposite directions, to allow for easy communication. B&B Italia also provides accessories, such as a pouf, tables or a steel brazier. The tables are square or rectangular, and can turn into vase holders. So much for 'nonadjustable' patio furniture. The Springtime patio collection from B&B Italia introduces great designs based on versatility and comfort.

Eco Kitchen - 100% Recyclable Kitchen by Valcucine, gReenaissance utilizing Invitrum

The first truly Eco kitchen will be presented by Valcucine at Fuorisalone 2009 in Milan, Italy. The Valcucine's exposition project at Fuorisalone is code-named "gReenaissance". The gReenaissance Eco kitchen solution (above) is based on the glass cabinetry system "Invitrum" (left), one of the main innovations presented. Another innovation is having a kitchen structure made of drawn, recycled aluminium vs. traditionally used primary aluminium. Recycled aluminum requires 20% percent less energy to produce. No formaldehyde-based or any other glues are used with the Invitrum glass cabinetry solution; the joints are being done between glass and aluminium, and are mechanical only and can be easily dismantled.

The two innovations combined make gReenaissance the first 100% recyclable kitchen solution. Just disassemble the cabinetry and recycle glass and aluminium parts. If it’s new sustainable Eco style you’re after, you sure want to stay updated on this new kitchen design by Italian company. Created by Gabriele Centazzo, the designer and managing director of Valcucine, the gReenaissance's modular design makes it as versatile as it is sustainable and stylish. Boasting clean, modern lines and a sleek finish worthy of the coolest culinary centers, this 100-percent recyclable kitchen is built and designed to last. Learn more by visiting Valcucine.

More Eco friendly features:
-the new design eliminates double side panels, that are also in glass and only 10 mm thick.
-it allows for a large decrease in the amount of materials used
-the use of glass assures total recyclability as well as absolute resistance to water, steam and heat.

And BTW, the Invitrum glass cabinetry is already incorporated into one of the Valcucine's current kitchen lines - the Riciclantica Glass (shown below) - most likely used as a starting point for project gReenaissance.

Illuminated Art Mirrors by Alchemy Glass Light - new mirror designs inspired by a solar eclipse

Alchemy Glass & Light Launches the new Full Moon Mirror Collection of Internally Illuminated Art Mirrors. Based in downtown Los Angeles and greatly admired on Trendir for their beautiful art glass vessel sinks, glass countertops, lighting and other art creations, Alchemy has introduced a new collection of unique and stunning statement mirrors which cast a patterned glow on surrounding surfaces. Entirely one-of-a-kind, these artistic creations are the work of Company Owner and Artist Steve Weinstock. Large, sculptural and self-illuminated, the mirrors are created by placing precious minerals and metals within fused glass, which allows a vibrant and natural color palette to evolve. Many of the mirrors feature fragmented glass patterns in a variety of heavenly hues. When lit, the mirrors are reminiscent of the halo effect: which is when the sun's corona explodes, and forms a halo around the moon during a solar eclipse. As a striking, textured piece of art, the Full Moon Mirrors make a dramatic statement when placed in a vestibule, master bedroom or as the focal point of the great room.

Aqua Luna

Unlike other mirrors, which lie flat against the wall, the mirrors in this collection curve up and away from the wall up to eight inches, giving them a dramatic depth of presence. Different mirror styles will cast their own unique patterned glow on the wall when lit. This unmatchable collection of mirrors is illuminated from within for a luxurious and diamond-like glow. "The glass colors and textures of the Full Moon Mirrors are stunning," said Weinstock. "Let's face it: beauty is multidimensional - so should be the piece that reflects one's beauty." The mirrors are available in the Celestial, Prestige and Cienega designs. Lighting hardware is enclosed behind the mirror and calls for a 40 watt, circular T5 energy-saving florescent bulb.

Contemporary Bathroom Suite from Laufen - new dOt by Wiel Arets

Laufen, one of the world’s leading manufacturers of bathroom essentials, has released the new, contemporary Il Bagno Alessi dOt bathroom suite under the ever-creative direction of award-winning architect and designer, Holland’s Wiel Arets. Arets’ contemporary interpretation of the bathroom comes in the form of modern, minimalist, asymmetrical fixtures with straight downward lines, flat surfaces and a sleek, sculptural shape that really stands out in the modern bathroom. Unifying the cool suite, these washbasins, tubs, toilets and bidets feature round dot-like recesses – the signature mark appearing on every piece of this bathroom line. Says designer Arets of his novel design, “dOt is a collection whose design steps off from the premise that its individual pieces should not distract from the wish to purge the body of impurities. Every component of each item should be in the service of relaxation. It should be clear that the combination of all pieces in the collection proceed from the individual strength of each one, which has its own role to play though without being overbearing. Altogether, it is a well-balanced collection whose aim is to allow its users to enjoy to the full quintessential element our planet has to offer, namely water.” Check out the Il Bagno Alessi dOt bathroom suite with a visit to Laufen.

It also functions as an applique spotlight or suspension to satisfy every need of furnishing. To use it for the table or for ground, the ball lamp comes with a base in red, black or transparent Plexiglas. Available in chrome steel or gold, the Lampnet modern lamp can be the most stylish feature in any house.
