A Minimalist Apartment With A Japanese Influence

Posted: 01 Jun 2021 12:38 AM PDT

A minimalist aesthetic keeps the interiors easy to maintain. Meanwhile, warm oak and cool grey concrete accents lend a touch of character to the largely all-white space. The result is a tranquil environment that's ideal to unwind in.

The living room is open and airy, and features a cool palette of white and light oak. There is a series of floating display shelves by the TV feature wall. This design resembles a cascading Japanese waterfall, and brings a sense of calm to the neutral space. To further enlarge the space, a tinted mirrored sliding door conceals the entrance to the study area. The black trimming on this door serves has a sleek handle.

The dining area is bright and open, and largely unembellished. This is per the family's request for a minimalist home with subtle Japanese influences. Yet, instead of a banal setting, it comes off as quietly chic, thanks to the use of black-framed kitchen windows and doors. They add depth and contrast, which breaks the monotony of the interconnected spaces.

"Patterned tiles, with a rugged, concrete texture, were incorporated into the kitchen to offer a sense of playfulness," says the design team, who opened up the space and improved ventilation with metal-framed glass bifold doors. This also improves the flow between the kitchen and the rest of the abode, and makes access easier.

A suspended glass partition greets visitors at the foyer. The corrugated glass panel injects a sense of lightness and retains the spaciousness of the interiors while offering a sense of privacy. The half-height shoe cabinet with recess handles and a bench seating serves a practical purpose, as seen in typical Japanese homes.

The designer created an L-shaped wardrobe in the master bedroom to maximise storage space, and adorned it with custom made handles and white laminate fronts to brighten up the room. To keep the bedroom looking clean, serene and streamlined, the door to the en-suite bathroom is also concealed. Meanwhile, a side table/dressing table with display nooks for the bedhead wall is a space-savvy addition to the bedroom.

Taking slightly more liberties in the bathroom, the design team employed a greater variety of tiles with concrete-like finishes and herringbone patterns – unified, nonetheless, by the same colour. Black-framed glass panels for the shower area and matte black-finished fittings inject a contemporary touch.

The Chair Ready For All Facets Of Home Life

Posted: 31 May 2021 01:00 PM PDT

Bringing commercial comforts into a residential space, the noho move Chair stylishly translates office ergonomics into a contemporary chair that is ready to support the movements of dynamic life at home, from working, to dining to relaxing.

The move chair is the result of 20 years of groundbreaking performance furniture research and design by noho, a New Zealand company that centres its products around the natural beauty of the country's landscapes and strong belief in the kinship between humans and the natural world (kaitiakitanga). The chairs are made in New Zealand, and are manufactured in a facility that uses 82 percent renewable energy. They are designed by the award winning team at Formway – the design studio responsible for the world's most comfortable, performance ergonomic chairs like Generation by Knoll.

The chair is devised with noho's patented, award winning 4-way flex and form-fitting support that effectively cradles the upper half of one's body. The dynamic ‘forward-tilt’ and ‘recline-flex’ technologies provide ergonomic support and fluid motion, with the chair intuitively responding to your every activity and posture, eliminating pressure points, and improving circulation.

While the chair is ergonomically outstanding, it is not necessarily bound to being an office chair. noho move is a chair that redefines home ergonomics and healthy everyday comfort. Its revolutionary design ensures correct posture and dynamic support for all activities around the hub of home. Its stylish design allows for the noho to fit seamlessly within any living space, with a multitude of interchangeable upholstery toppers made from sustainably sourced and naturally durable New Zealand wool available to alter the style of the chair at will.

Composed almost entirely of recycled waste plastic, the noho move chair is an environmentally conscious chair that is the result of sustainable practice and material curation. It is made from ECONYL® regenerated nylon, sourced 100% from reclaimed fishing nets and end-of-use carpets – to help nurture our oceans and environment.

The noho move chair will be available in store and online in Australia via Cult from June. Moving with the user to ensure maximum support and comfort, the adaptable qualities of the chair ensure for not only a comfortable sit irrespective of duration, but one that looks after the body, ensuring correct posture and healthy ergonomic comfort to support modern living.
