This glass pavilion, fully opened, is one of the most radical housing projects of Miens. Eight vertical steel pillars that will endure both the construction of steel roof and the floor will support the weekend house located on a wooded area near the Fox River. The latter is also supported by the glazing bars, precisely dimensioned, which extend from the top to the ground. As opposed to black enamel coating on the supporting elements of the IIT, the Farnsworth House, the stainless steel parts have been painted white.

Some years later, Miens explained in an interview with the principle regarding the area of glass Farnsworth House: “Nature should take his own life. Should be preserved to alter it with the color of our houses and interior decoration, rather we would achieve a greater degree of unification of nature, the house and humans. When you contemplate the nature through the glass panes of the Farnsworth House, it acquires a deeper meaning when viewed from the outside. Nature is more openly expressed, becomes part of a larger whole. “

⎯ The Farnsworth House has next to contemporary project, never built, the house 50×50 feet square ⎯ between Miens recent housing projects. After these pavilions opened and both made for a house dedicated to the contemplation of nature, it seems that the architect had exhausted the subject of housing, it was clear that ultimately had led to the reflections related to this issue.

The Farnsworth House was designed and built for a single woman, the eminent Dr. Edith Farnsworth of Chicago, and after years of continuous and intensive consultations with the client got carried out, at first, Mrs. Farnsworth was thrilled not only with the project but also the personality of the architect, but after finishing suffered a great disappointment because the house was habitable be difficult due to its abstract simplicity. This and other circumstances led to the break between Miens, Mrs. Farnsworth, and a lawsuit against the architect because the final value of the building. Among other things, the client sued the poor conditioning of the interior of the building and excessive costs exceeded the initial budget. The simplicity of the Farnsworth House and conceptual elegance and beauty make it one of the most outstanding buildings of Miens.

Every time we feel more attached to this crusade to restore our environment, why now there is a diversity of products that have been made thinking about not further damage the space in which we live.

The production of components for various industries is carefully planned to avoid prejudicing our wounded environment, and thereby eliminate the causes, which pollute and deteriorate.

This process of awareness has taken several decades, despite warning that this was coming long ago, but apparently, we had to see how the planet is destroyed slowly to realize that we did nothing to take care.

These days, almost everything has a policy focused on preserving our living space and improves the environment in which we live. That is why in almost every item we find proposals to improve and preserve our ecology.

The decor is no stranger to this situation, why many of its elements have been conceived and designed with the best intentions of environmental conservation.

This can be seen, for example, in these walls of the facades of some buildings and nature that are coated on their surfaces. It is a porous ceramic tiles Life wall called, and where you can place the seeds to germinate after a while and become a wonderful show for all green.

The vegetation growth is carried out without in any way affect the structure of fronts, because the tiles have been manufactured for just this purpose, and offer cleaner air around these facilities and reduce pollution levels the environment.

No doubt, the world of design has always focused on the objects-prosthesis: functional or statutory, which subsequently were designed and constructed as complements to the body. In recent years, the concept of “micro world” emerges implying the opposite, they no longer objects to be understood as “prosthetic body” at the same, but on the environment. The advent of wireless computers, the miniaturization of electronic components, has changed our ways of living and to grasp the time. Thereafter at each time of day, in our many trips, we want to bring the maximum number of functional capabilities and emotional. Create a conduit that transposes from one universe to another, our specific environment.

The notion of “object that is world is in this sense, a hypertrophy of the concept of comfort, as subjective as it is. In the past, this notion was less dispersed as far as it was felt that the absolute comfort was a priori in the house. Today, we search all over the bubble of individual comfort, whatever the situations, odors, light, information, relationships that we have with the environment.

Then, the ability to hyperactive customize the environment is somewhat paradoxical. By the time you create more communities of people around ideas or about belongings, musical movements, artistic and political, where, to relax, meet on all platforms seek collective and elective, to be or become equal, although each which seeks, nevertheless, be different. Because of the overall taste of the universal, all tend to dissolve; there are no major differences in modern cities, in fact not very different. In all major capitals of the world shops, museums, restaurants and trendy bars, airports (which make us forget what country we are), all places of contemporary change are influenced by a total uniformity. The tendency to want to recreate the universe itself in this way the mark will be singled out in a universe or a global city.

Furthermore, the concept of “micro universe” also induces the idea of the multi functional everyday objects. With the same mater air given the same amount of space, the object can provide more services hereinafter, often more consistent, to a given function. As a result, of the decrease in weight, their consistency, their increasing functionality, in order to allow greater freedom of action. On the same day, at the same instant, the current notion of time is condensed through our objects. A sofa becomes larger to serve as a bed around which are organized tables to eat, work. You can also integrate lights and remote controls. Mute in a product “amalgamation”, concentrating four or five times, I saw these in a single. Allows experimentation, lived, possibly not due to more and more time, but intensity. Rime effectively and responds to the desire to liberalize our moments of VI such. We went from a stage where each function has been raised marks or symbols for an object to another where the concept of objects to respond to several actions. Free space without getting rid of tools marks a new process of economy and autonomy. The objects are more modern, less material and less energy, give rise to the idea of mental economy before the trade. In this sense, the object provides the most service, the more we exempt from spatial constraints. When the object becomes a world.

Descurbrir the legendary boutiques within some are gratifying. In addition, if in addition to your decor is almost a fashion trend, the visit is required. I do not know if you are planning a trip to French soil, but it was there where Sonia Ryrie presented its new collection of clothes from home.

Two words, I love it. Full of colors, textures, soft, that which gives shapes to a home. The plaid ‘home, smart home’, I feel just great. Just as the proposed wall decoration, to the last.

Tablecloths, bedspreads, pillows, towels, tissue, blankets … all the details for the living room or bedroom are present in this collection. In fact, with the characteristic touch of the designer, these bright colors, stripes and animal prints.

I do not know if this is the collection of household linen chic, but it is more our options for our luxury home.

Finally came the heat, and with it the desire to go out, impromptu meetings with friends, the quiet moments of relaxation. Breakfast, lunch, dinner, all are wonderful occasions to live your garden or terrace. However, to live a garden to the maximum extent possible, we first have to fill all those things we will be more comfortable. Tables, chairs, beds, sofas, gazebos, beds, showers, couches, or beanbags inhabit our field this year.
All the manufacturers are rushing to submit their news for this season; here we show some of the most outstanding and surprising, with some proposals always current.
VITEO. The Austrian brand that leaves no one indifferent, both for the originality of their designs and by the clear functional vocation they have.
Home Collection, seeks to move the house to the outside and is multifunctional as it is based on the principle of modular construction: a recliner can become a bank and the joints can become chill-out bed.
Lyle waterbed is a sofa bed with many possibilities and outdoor shower is an outdoor shower re invented, where the water comes from the base to cool in an instant.

VONDOM. Javier Marisa is one of the designers of the new collections partners signing Valencia. Together they have just created Momma, a fun pot-table with ottoman made of polyethylene resin. Jut are tables, chairs, chairs, armchairs, sofas and stools that belong to the series of outdoor furniture, together with Momma and a variety of colors and allow us to combine any space decorated in a modern and casual.

BIGBAO. The poufs “lounging CHIC ‘of Bugaboo are giant pillows that fill the space with originality, comfort and vitality can be used indoors and outdoors. With its multiple forms and multiple functions are modeled Stretch Out everyone. For example, the pear-shaped ottoman, small couches in a duo, additional mattresses or beds for a nap beside the pool. Its structure fits the shape of the human body in harmony with lightness and sensuality. The flexible cover made of high density PVC is filled with 400 liters of micro beads, solid, full and solid. Do not sink under the weight of the body and makes you feel surrounded by a flower.

It is called the current minimalist aesthetic derived from the reaction to pop art. Faced with the color, the importance of mass media, commercial and appearance, minimalism shuffled diametrically opposed, opposing ornate decorations of the ’80s.

Contrary to the traditionally decorated in minimalist not want to fill the space but to preserve it. The nuance or emphasis is more on the structures and forms as an accessory.

The walls, floors, surfaces and light pour themselves to represent the decoration. This is because the creator’s minimalist reduced to a minimum the elements of art, volumes and shapes in sculpture.

In painting, architecture and decoration, its intention is to condense in a few elements of his artistic principles and ideas. The minimalist style, to extract all essential nuances of our sensibility and our inspiration.

The individual works of art, privacy, a conceptual conversation between the artist, the surrounding space and the viewer. Just as the importance of the environment as essential to the understanding life and work.

The balance and harmony are present and thus achieves a sense of calm and “oasis” within the stress that often permeates the lives of citizens. If we refer to colors, dominated by neutral tones like those that beige and gray used in degraded and, of course, white will create an ideal background and give the feeling of more space to the room.

Each piece is chosen in a matter of their function and usefulness, without sacrificing comfort. Few accessories are needed in a minimalist decor. A flower, some fruit, enough if an object is properly positioned.
