We once went to a concert in the Sydney Opera House, and though the actual performance hall was a spectacular wood-paneled space and the exterior is stunning, the halls and communal spaces inside the opera house look like a parking garage. So we wonder if it really belongs on The Coolist’s listicle of 10 Modern [...]

There was a time, not all that long ago, when we imagined most of our life would be spent living in a beautiful train, airplane or space shuttle that was finished with only the most elegant and extravagant furniture and gadgets, and from which we would run our global resistance movement while evading the evil [...]

Sadly, we’ve never been to Japan, but if their taste for themed and simply spaced-out hotel decoration is anything to go by, we pretty much belong there.
So we’re going to start planning our trip right now, and being that we’re largely ignorant of Japanese culture and history (a shortcoming the journey will hopefully remedy), we’re [...]

The Listicles offices stand in the shadows of the Manhattan Bridge, which, among its various picturesque features, has two very pretty towers at each end that have some really cool-looking interior spaces with what must be million-dollar views. What goes on in there? Infrastructure stuff, we presume, but surely infrastructure stuff that could be moved [...]

Goodness knows we’ve had some close calls with some items of furniture that were just a little too real,but we’ve never had to deal with anything that looked like a bear, Wookiee, whale, python, frog or pig. Those are just a few of the creepy furniture designs included in Fast Company’s listicle of 12 Terrifying [...]

Not to sound like crazy weirdos, but we’re rather fond of urinals. In terms of easy, no frills ways in and out of the bathroom, they don’t come much more utilitarian. Of course, that’s not to say that they nullify any likelihood of bathroom awkwardness, but they come pretty close. Or rather, well-designed urinals come [...]

Last week Milan’s annual furniture fair – the world’s biggest – wrapper up its 48th edition in fairly typical style. Although, if one thing about this sexy showcase for new furniture designs seems to be changing it’s the proportion of green and environmentally friendly models being unveiled every year. 2009 was another big year for [...]

As we continue our office redesign in pursuit of new media “quirky cool,” we’re thinking about getting a really obnoxious and over the top door knocker for the front door (and maybe, why not, for the conference room).
We weren’t really sure where to start our door knocker research (we don’t know any blacksmiths), but thankfully [...]

We’ve harbored a fantasy of having a screen or divider in our apartment for at least a decade now. Of course, every time we move there’s the problem that our place isn’t big enough to accomodate such an object in even the most remotely useful capacity.
So for now we’re reduced to scanning design magazines and [...]

What are you doing online? It’s Sunday, you should be out running o’er the hills, splashing in streams, causing mischief and enjoying life. After all, you spent the entire week working for the weekend. Now here it is and here you are, wasting time on the Internet like it’s Monday morning already. This is exactly [...]
