Located in the green Hong Kong lung, this Chiodelli project was designed as an interpenetration between man and nature. Inspired by Oriental philosophy and approach, the materials and environments are integrated with the surrounding vegetation becoming a whole thing. Large sliding glass windows envelop the spaces enriching them with all shades of natural light and opening up striking perspective views of the Clear Water Bay waterfront and wooded hillsides. Extremely spacious, the living area has been divided into comfortable eclectic corners. From the living to the dining room, passing through the wine zone, the combination of materials, shapes and colours strengthens the design concept for an impressive result that scents of nature. The antique wood of the furniture chases the polished wood of the parquet floors and ceilings, meeting technology…

A bespoke design where comfort and nature meet. A two floor apartment overlooking the Mediterranean sea, where well-being aligns with design providing unique sensations in an elegant space. Referring to essential materials such as timber and stone, and having a panoramic levitated seaview, we were able to convey the sense of privacy and solitude in nature. Contemporary space was created by engaging pure forms and volumes which bring elegance enhanced by technology. The choice of wall coverings was guided by earthy and timber tones to give the occupant the feeling of warmth, especially through the decorative timber panels, which in addition to making the environment cosy produce a particular aesthetic and acoustic perception. The choice of wallpapers refers to the natural elements of laguna, foliage and animal kingdom. Thefloorismadeofwide parquet…

The NeXT bed enables designers to create the perfect enclosure for a room, maximising flexibility of use, and as minimal as needed. Cabinet structure is non-load bearing so alternative materials are an option too, along with lower costs and faster installation. This cabinet can feature sliding, rolling or folding doors. We also have prepared ideas for new types of cabinets that dramatically reduce the time needed to install. The NeXT bed is independent of the cabinet, and can, as shown in the second image, be installed without a cabinet, or the cabinet installed later. This results in the whole process being simplified, the costs reduced, and reduced time for completion. The NeXT bed is stocked and immediately available in many markets for instant delivery. Just a mattress is needed to…

Induction hobs are loved for their minimalist lines and ultra-easy to clean surfaces but the touch controls can be hard to use with wet or greasy fingers and they lack the intuitive feel of traditional controls. Elica has solved this with the launch of its latest extractor hob NIKOLATESLA UNPLUGGED, which is controlled through beautifully engineered rotary knobs. These provide instantaneous and intuitive access to all its features without compromising Elica’s bold, clean design. The textured knobs give NIKOLATESLA UNPLUGGED a professional look and provide perfect grip, even when hands are wet or greasy. Extraction of fumes is through the centrally located zone concealed by a circular glass flap. Just touch to open and activate extraction – close to turn off extraction. As well as standard heating, NIKOLATESLA UNPLUGGED has…

Founded in 2004 as a small Cornish family business, over the past 18 years Oltco has grown to become a nationally recognised brand which has championed innovation and sustainability within the industry.
