new

Repeatability, monotony, homogeneity - these phrases are hardly considered to be complliments. Other principles are at work in office design. But irrespectively of trends, every architect pays attention to the project's cohesion. Actiu's new collection may be helpful to this end.

Bolon, Swedish manufacturer of vinyl floorings, has released a new, third collection designed in cooperation with Missoni Home. Floorings are woven in jacquard technique. Vivid patterns (including the most famous Missoni pattern: zig-zag) and dynamic colours will be a good fit in various contract interiors: hotels, offices or shopping centres.

Acoustic solutions is one of the most dynamically developing categories of contract equipment. Let's take a look at the most interesting novelties.

The Nest collection is one of the most popular positions in the portfolio of Danish brand +Halle. Sofas, tables and chairs with various heights (standard and hocker) provide a feeling of comfort and a more informal workspace. During Stockholm fair, designers from Form Us WIth Love presented a new addition to the collection: modular tables.

- Development of the Bolon brand wouldn't be possible if we didn't believe in diversity: diversity of talents, perspectives and techniques - says Marie Eklund, CEO of Bolon. That's why the new collection, which premieres in the 70th year of the company's existence, is not only called "Diversity" but above all was designed to enhance the architects' freedom of choice.

BIG, architecture studio founded by Bjarke Ingels, has recently moved its New York office to the other shore of East River. How does their new space look like?

Vivid colors are increasingly popular in contract spaces. Their presence provides variety, enriches the otherwise formal vibe of a space, is in keeping with the ever more popular trend of making offices more homely.
