The Room on the Roof by i29 Architects

Located in Amsterdam's Dam Square, the De Bijenkorf department store was first built in 1909 as a gorgeously cresselated neo-gothic structure pierced by a distinctive central turret. Since it was built, that tower has been mostly for show, but thanks to a partnership between the interior architects i29 and the nearby Rijksmuseum, De Bijenkorf is now turning the tower into a beautiful design haven. Called the Room on the Roof, the De Bijenkorf tower has been transformed into a bright, modern design studio, complete with a kitchen, a day bed, a sitting room, and a telescope. via

"The biggest challenge of designing the space was simply the size of the floor area: just 16 square meters," i29 directors Jaspar Jansen and Jeroen Dellensen told me by email. "That was one of the reasons why we ended up with a vertical installation, which creates a 'living cabinet' that allows artists-in-residence to experience the tower on different levels."

Uncommon Places by Reuben Wu

Uncommon Places is a long-term project run by British photographer Reuben Wu (Instagram) whose works have we started to share last year. Nowadays Reuben is back with the new works explaining the project "Uncommon Places" as "An attempt to convey my relationship to landscape and artefact. A perpetual search for unfamiliar terrain.."

Type Made From Fragments Of Famous Artworks

"The latest project from quirky Israeli typographer Oded Ezer takes one feature of a famous artwork, like the Mona Lisa, Van Gogh's self-portrait or Vermeer's Girl With A Pearl Earring, and uses it to create a typeface, to hilarious and disturbing effect. The typeface made of the surf from Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave off Kanagawa is innocent enough. But things get weird when Mona Lisa's finger is used to form a letter V or Van Gogh's mustache to create a T. Ezer's best typeface by far uses a piece Michelangelo's David, but we'll leave the specifics of that one a surprise." writes FastCo

Russian Tales with Modern Twist by Uldus Bakhtiozina

Russian artist Uldus Bakhtiozina (Facebook | Instagram) has been mentioned by worldwide media since her last talk at TED (and BBC) but long before this we were happy to have her on our local Saint-Petersburg Behance Meetup in 2012. Apart from her previous provocative photography series, she went a bit further. Uldus reinterprets traditional Russian Tales in her photos by focusing on the pagans roots and ethnography of Russia. Her works are thoroughly detailed and immersive, and are based on comprehensive research and comparison with Euro-Asian mythology. The artist pays special attention to her ambivalent interpretation of the symbolism hidden in legends and myths.

Voyageur du Temps Bakery Identity by Character

You may know that a half of success for any design project is its showcase. Another quarter is a story like this: "An old railway station in Los Altos, California, has been transformed into this exquisite new bakery and café by local entrepreneur Rie Rubin, with the help of the creative people at San Francisco-based design agency Character. Named Voyageur du Temps, which means time traveler in French, the café seeks to preserve the time-honoured art of baking by adding a dash of contemporary life to it. Here you will find freshly baked artisan breads and pastries, as well as a variety of courses that give a playful wink to continental breakfast staples like the Croque Monsieur and crepes with fresh fruit."

The Mac to the Future, Concept

German tech website CURVED/labs has envisioned how Apple’s design history could be better honored, and the result, even managing to find a new use for the iconic floppy drive on the lower right side of the front panel, is stunning. The ‘Mac to the Future,’ based on the shape of a Mac 128K, would have the respectable inner components of an 11-inch MacBook Air, but with a special twist: it would be usable either as a regular desktop computer or as a Mac OS-based touch-screen device. And where the floppy disk slot once was are now slots for SD cards, the FaceTime camera, speakers and a microphone.
