Nexus World Collection by Jerome Olivet
Thanks to LED technology, we can see a lot of creative luminous shapes to create different atmosphere in any room. Each lamp has been designed to reveal intense and captivating emotion, just like Nexus World collection. It offers design solutions tailored in harmony with your existing architecture. There are many shapes to choose from, the light draws in voluptuous curves or great lightness structure. Beneath this simplicity of form hides a powerful light which is also energy efficient. Made of silver metal, glass or molded carbon fiber, each light structure is a concentrate of technology, it’s a vision of the future where light becomes an infinite field of experimentation.

Big Sky Vacation Home by Len Cotsovolos and LC²Design Services
Len Cotsovolos together with LC²Design Services have completed the interior design of a private vacation home located in Big Sky, Montana.
Description
Interior Designer, Len Cotsovolos, unveils his latest contemporary architectural design at the Yellowstone Club- a private residential ski resort community in Big Sky, Montana, where he designed a custom 11,000 square foot vacation retreat that epitomizes comfort. “To understand this home, you must start from the inside,” explains Cotsovolos, “the home was designed from the inside out, while trying to bring the outside in”.
Although this property shares the mountainside with classic American vernacular log cabin estates, Cotsovolos, with LC² Design Services has styled this dream home to express modern mountain luxury…with just the right amount of Vegas “bling”. Nestled among the tall pines of the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 10,500 feet, this custom home reflects characteristics of Modernist architecture, which typically features glass walls, post-and-beam construction, exposed steel, and open floor plans; however, Cotsovolos also introduced unique finishes, opulent furnishings, and other details, which he sourced worldwide to create a warm, dark and mysterious home that is internationally inspired.
Cotsovolos’ interior design concept is focused around Earth’s elements in nature, and the geology of the region. The colors, textures, woods, and other nuances were pulled directly from nature, allowing the home to perfectly blend into its surroundings, as if it had grown in its place among the trees. The monumentality of the landscape is balanced in the interior by the proportions of the millwork, oversized furnishing, and scale of the spaces. To further blur the distinction between the interiors and exteriors, and to celebrate the breathtaking views, the home boasts full-height, floor to ceiling uninterrupted windows, which allow the exterior to merge into the interiors regardless of the season. As the colors of nature outside change with the seasons, the colors of the interiors of the home also subtly change to maintain the Zen monochromatic palette year round.
Cotsovolos tirelessly space-planned the flow and sequence of spaces, allowing his interior detailing to dictate the shape and position of the architecture. Each view corridor and elevation was carefully studied by the designer and his team to ensure that the breathtaking views were always celebrated, and the sequence of rooms flowed logically and elegantly. “The focal directions of the end users and their sightlines were taken into careful consideration when deciding where to place the interior furnishings, and where the windows and partition walls were positioned in the floor plans”, said Cotsovolos.
His contrasting use of petrified woods, fossilized crystals, and polished minerals, set against rough-hewn timbers, Turkish silk shag rugs, fine Italian furniture, and Belgian linens, is creatively juxtaposed by the luxurious animal furs, sumptuous calfskin leathers and sparkling custom-chandeliers. The contrast of the rough, rustic, natural elements against the sleek, polished and refined finishes balances the interior composition to create a sexy, sleek and sophisticated atmosphere, which is warm, cozy and inviting- a masterfully unexpected paradox in Big Sky.

Toby Concept Car by Fulop Gellert
We just got design submission from Fulop Gellert, it’s a concept car called Toby. Yes, the name reminds us to “A Special Story about Toby”, you can read the reason behind this cute name from the designer’s own words below.
The concept cars name is Toby. It might seem a persons name and it is, but I also decided to give it to my concept. This is because I believe it has a personality, not because of it’s deign features, but because of how it became to be.
My inspiration for this concept started from a conversation I had with a friend, who said “why don’t you build a car company yourself ?”. Of course he didn’t know much about running a company of any size, nevertheless I started thinking, how could I start a car company in my own little town?. My town is famous for making good violins and other musical instruments. So I started thinking, using the tools, the craftsmanship, and the experience of our local violin makers, what kind of car I could make. This was how Toby concept car born. However, simply making a car using wood panels and carbon fiber was nothing new. I wanted to show people how ideas were born and how a simple thought can become a story or a dream, which may or may not become reality. To do this, I thought I made a video, a story of how Toby was born.
