The supreme by
Ong-Ard Architects.
Architect Ong-ard Satrabhandhu chose the unassuming architecture of the centuries-old vernacular Chinese dwellings as a source of inspiration. A carefully orchestrated sequence of courtyards, a studied composition of light and dark, open and closed outdoor spaces achieve a true sense of place that expresses serenity and mystery. The architecture and landscape design of Rachamankha celebrates local Lanna historical heritage, climate and traditional building practices of the Northern Thai region.

The London Art Fair is a tremendous gathering of galleries showing their wares. It can be overwhelming but well worth taking your time over. Amongst the artwork you will also find a nice collection of very interesting pieces of furniture. The show is now over but set it in your calendars for next year.

Goldfinger’s pared-back armchair was designed in the heyday of Functionalism, a movement that gained new impetus in Hampstead as proponents like Walter Gropius and Marcel Breuer settled in the area. fleeing fascist persecution in Eurone
Distinctive is the use of deep red and teal-grey paint on the piece’s horizontal and vertical planes. These colours also articulate the structural elements of 2 Willow Road’s interiors, making the chair a miniature expression of the architectural principles of the entire house

Next to St Simon is a new cabinet design (more on that to follow shortly), a standing spoon by .svenningsen and sycamore vase by
