Designer Satoshi Itasaka has redesigned his grandmother's antique chair with the help of new material.
There was an antique chair in Itasaka's grandmother's warehouse. Though, it was an attractive chair with a beautiful silhouette, he says. Satoshi Itasaka saw that it was clear that the chair was becoming too old and nonfunctional as one leg was broken and the backrest is so damaged that it showed a tragic appearance.
However, the chair's facade was still attractive. "I tried to repair the chair in order to manage reusing it."
The Horizontal House by Anna Nakamura + Taiyo Jinno / EASTERN design office
The Horizontal House is located in a small village in Japan. The old appearance of the village consists only of six houses. This particular house is located on the north edge of the village and therefore makes puts it in a prominent place. It was EASTERN design’s intention to form the scenery from there.
When you enter the house, you will be surprised at the sequence of the view, where the slits cut out, and also the amount of space. Because of the horizontal slits that surrounds the entire house there is scenery wherever you look.
You see different sceneries through the horizontal slit by moving the position of your vision, even when you’re standing on equal heights. The river and the village in the other side are seen when standing, the mountain is seen when sitting, and the sky is seen when lying down. You will find another slit through the slit.
This construction by TAKAO SHIOTSUKA ATELIER is a banquet hall, along with a marriage ceremony hall, in Oita-city, Oita, Japan.
The client requested that the ceremony hall should at least be able to consist of 40 people.
The space has the appearance of a cave, where it moves down to the deep area in the center of the space. The cave appearance that TAKAO SHIOTSUKA ATELIER aimed for was to create the ideal method of a primitive building. In contrast with its cave like appearance, the building is focusing on bringing bright and having the lounge as an open space where the crowd could gather.
Since the construction was mainly constructed of concrete, it was necessary to mix the existing banquet hall with a softer approach. This was done with the help of the garden. The garden gives the emotion of a nature environment.
The construction is made as a line that flows toward the center. As a result of investigating the relationship between the garden and the actual construction, and idea was born to shape curved walls that surround the garden. This to create a sense of flow.

Concentrating on one specific subject when taking a photograph is to have a focal point. Focal points are great to have because they make a photo less confusing and more focused. They give the eyes a base to focus on and when the fuss around it becomes confusing, you can always get back to safe land: the focal point.
When taking a photo, ask yourself "What do I want to highlight?"
Art Nouveau is French for "new art" and was a cultural style epoch that approximately began in 1890 and started to fade when "Art Deco" came in the 1920s.
Art Nouveau covered all visual arts; architecture, interior design, graphic design, arts and fashion. Although Art Nouveau became popular internationally, its greatest impact was in Europe. Jugendstil is the term for Art Nouveau in German.
Cottage style (shabby chic) is an inviting and personal look. The fundamental nature of a cottage interior is blending the contemporary with the traditional. Like placing old china in the new shelf. The cottage style takes most influence from Vintage interior design and Victorian interior design.
Our eyes follow things to determine their appearance, so when having too many “stops” in the interior, the brain will pick up the reaction that the space is small. For instance if we have too many colors, patterns and shapes that do not resemble each other, the eyes won’t flow along the interior but rather stop at each change in form and then examine it before moving onto another shape; and becomes interrupted there again.
Usually we want to change the appearance of our rooms, but don't really know what to do, and maybe not even what it is that we dislike about the rooms. But there's an efficient way to find out, see if this works for you:
1. Look around the room that you want to redecorate, ask yourself what the functions are in it. For example if it’s a bedroom, you know that you want to get an easy sleep here, maybe read books or try out clothes. For most people it’s a comfortable and personal room, but obviously different from person to person. Take your time to actually understand the room, since it usually is a reflection of your current life.
2. Leonardo da Vinci said once: "Every now and then go away, have a little relaxation, for when you come back to your work your judgment will be surer. Go some distance away because then the work appears smaller and more of it can be taken in at a glance and a lack of harmony and proportion is more readily seen."
Get out of the room for a couple of minutes and try to get your mind of it for a while so that you can have critical eyes when you later enter it again.
3. Go back into the room, this time with paper and pen. Write down the first things that you like, the first things that catch your eyes, the first things you dislike and the things that you usually don’t notice when you enter the room. Be critical, if you don’t like something then be honest about it and write it down, the whole idea with this practice is to actually get a better understanding of what the problems are with the room.
By doing this exercise you'll hopefully learn more about what you like in an decoration.
