Lucite and Glass Faucet

 

This is one of the prettiest faucets I have seen. It would be a thing of beauty in a Powder or Guest Bathroom. It is made from glass with lucite handles. When the faucet is opened, the water comes out from the bottom and fills the vase up to the rim. A limited edition to bring an air of poetry to the bathroom.

House with Ceramic Facade Elements in Russia

This house located in Russia. It’s a combined work of the architecture Anatoly Kuzmin and art-studio Kupryanovih. The studio has done an awesome work in order to make the house looks like a piece of art. It features... a lot of hand made ceramic elements on its facade. All these ceramic decor elements looks amazing as from close distance as from far away. Such effect is obtained by very complex painting and using of crackle and crimp techniques. These techniques makes ornaments looks more dynamic and make the whole work more interesting.

Swedish interior design usually is very comfortable and practical. This open floor apartment is great example of that. It’s located in small but very beautiful city Linnéstaden. The building where it’s located is quite old but the apartment is renovated so the contemporary interior design in addition to 3.40 meter ceilings make these 58 square meters of the living space very comfortable for those who own it.

Four windows facing west brings a lot of natural light into the apartment so it look much bigger than it is.
