Wooden Waves

Banq Restaurant, located in Boston, has a striking interior space.  Its walls, ceilings, and columns are all in the form of waves using three-quarter-inch birch plywood.  In-fact it seems like waves are everywhere.  This feature provides a sense movement throughout the restaurant that is quite unique.  The furnishing were even designed to match the wooden waves creating a feeling of lightness and relaxation.  I think it would be incredible to dine here and experience this amazing design.

Modern New Home in Old Stone Church

On the outside of this old residence, it appears to be an old stone church, but on the inside it is a modern family home.  This church was renovated into a large and extraordinary living space in Utrecht.  I like how the exterior contrasts greatly with the interior.  The architecture of this home still captures the remarkable sensation of a church, and allows its occupants to experience its classical features, such as the vaulted ceilings.  Yet, its interior space is transformed into a modern style, causing the two designs to come together.

Luna

I like the Luna Light fixture because it captures the glow, shape, and appearance of the moon.  I always considered the moon to be a magical element in the middle of the night.  The way it is illuminated in the dark night sky brings the imagination to life.

I feel like this orb-shaped light would bring a sense of mystery, romance, and magic to a space.  The Luna Light is a completely versatile design.  Depending on where you place it, it can be modern, contemporary, or traditional.  Wherever you place it, the Luna Light's soft glow will add a touch of enchantment to any space.
