With summer fast approaching (or already here, depending where you are), this particular fan is a perfect home accessory that looks good and does the important job of keeping rooms cooler.

“To ensure reliability and durability, the fan uses the highest quality components and finishes available. All body components are made from aluminium or steel. Each blade is individually balanced for perfect performance. The oscillation function can spread a fresh breeze through large spaces. 3 speeds cover the full spectrum from silent and gentle to a windy storm. Controlled from an aluminium remote control or through the rear cone of the motor.”

Free standing or wall mounted.

Never in my days did I think I’d see a wall mounting toilet. I would definitely consider this in my next bath remodel.

Comes in 64 colors.

This amazing sink is designed so that the water disappears when it hits the surface and goes down the drain hidden in the back. Who ever fills up a sink anymore anyway?

I rather like the Neutra Architectural Numbers available from DWR. But at $68.00 a pop, it could get pretty expensive. And they only do numbers. I found a company that does numbers and letters (that look remarkably like Neutra’s) for 60% less. The numbers can be installed flush or with spacers. They also do custom fonts. Lifetime warranty.

I was in the amazing Herzog & De Meuron designed Prada store in Tokyo last year, design-gawking. The dressing room was just off to the side with the only walls made of transparent glass. I went in, and unable to easily ask for assistance, fumbled around for a bit until I saw a button on the floor, which I stepped on, causing the glass to appear to immediately fog-up. I now know, of course, that it was not fog but instead polymer liquid-crystal optics. In the natural state, liquid crystal droplets are aligned randomly in the polymer and the reflective index of liquid crystal does not match that of polymer (np ? ne), so the incident lights are scattered, resulting in a translucent state. When an electrical field is applied, the liquid crystal droplets reorient so their extraordinary relective index matches that of polymer (np = ne), resulting in a transparent state.

What are the implications for those of us who didn’t really like science class? Well, in residential applications it means that you can have rooms that transform from public to private spaces with the flick of a switch.

You might have seen this in the recent Dwell magazine, but if you haven’t, take a look. You can put the different pieces together any which way you want.

The creative director of Naked and Angry contacted us about their line of short-run designer wallpapers which you can vote on to determine whether they will be produced. The designs are distinctive and powerful and would work well to highlight one wall or section of your house.
