Platform beds are the much healthier, far more attractive version yet possibly the trend equivalent of the 1970s waterbed. In fact today’s platform beds are outright artful when originating from certain design firms. Furniture designers are turning them into self-sufficient islands, bachelor-ready suites, floating squares, and textured clouds. Beds like these by Italian Presotto, a modular furniture design firm, offers innumerable combinations of texture, style, and color. The firm uses leather or wood, curvilinear or rectangular headboards, floating squares, or massive furniture pieces that seem self-sufficient with night tables and couch-like platforms. |

Beautiful Bathtubs by BluBleu
As more and more firms begin to visualize bathrooms as areas for indulgence and living, the concepts they put forward tend to reflect this philosophy. Italian company BluBleu‘s portfolio is no different and the high end bath fittings they design make quite a statement. Vividly colored and sporting headrests, some even have storage solutions built into them. If you are looking for some inspirational bathtubs for your bathroom, we invite you to check the images below. |
Bella Italia Weine
Bella Italia is a wine store as well as a restaurant, designed by Ippolito Fleitz Group. The owner is a typical warmhearted Sicilian woman. While selling the products of her home country and offering a creative home-style cuisine on an upscale level she transfers the Italian spirit to Germany. “Bella Italia Weine” was run for many years in a small living-room-like place with a very personal atmosphere. To extend the sales area as well as the capacity of seats she decided to move to a new location.
The new restaurant is located in Stuttgart West, an urban district which is very popular as a residential area as well as a location for offices, particularly for businesses working in a creative field. The restaurant is situated in the ground floor of a freestanding multiple dwelling in a charming Wilhelminian style. The architects’ aim was to keep the familiar atmosphere of the first restaurant, highlighting its character as a wine store at the same time
The character of the room is determined by two elements; at the ceiling the architects have mounted over 90 different mirrors found at jumble sales. The second element is a kind of ‘room within the room’. With its large oval table, a large round mirror on a wall with textile covering, a carpet and a bunch of lamps hanging from the ceiling, the space appears like a home-like sitting room. Three large shelf elements allow an effective promotion of the products. A new corporate design completes the image of ‘Bella Italia Weine’
