With the refined swaying of light-weight and shadow, the digital and the serious interlace, filling the house with a particular vitality and spirituality.

A 19-meter-extensive block of suspended mesh exhibit racks runs via the whole house like a double-edged sword, forming a sharp but harmonious contrast with the Nest and releasing both a multi-dimensional practical experience and highly tense spatial order.

Considerable indoor area is reserved for household furniture designers to freely full both equally artistic perform and reception responsibilities. In addition to giving extra display space to primary home furniture, this also allows for the unshackled customization of displays.

Throughout the whole house, the Nest is produced from scraps discarded all through furniture creation, with these scraps retaining their first wooden coloration, whilst the relaxation of the styling is in dim-grey metal. The organic warmth of wooden and the industrial coldness of steel variety sharp conflict and distinction. The designer skillfully juxtaposes harshness and comfort and ease, generating a dynamically sophisticated psychological sensation and psychological impact and strengthening the one of a kind perception of belonging inside of the Nest.

The foyer of the house attributes a exhibit wall of legacy home furniture generation tools together with samples of contemporary home furnishings materials. They are specially curated to make the place extra participating in terms of cultural communication.
