Cirrus MVR by Michael Trudgeon

Winner of the 2008 awards of the Reese Bathroom Innovation in Australia is this innovative and highly space-conscious bathroom designed by Michael Trudgeon. Dubbed Cirrus MVR, the luxurious and complete bathroom folds up into a simple and minimalist shelf when not in use and thus saves on space greatly. Its design also allows you to save water that usually wastes. In a world where urban space and pure water are both becoming highly expensive commodities, Cirrus MVR is a wonderful asset that looks modern. - Source

Chaise Longue by Arthur Rottier

Designer Arthur Rottier of Netherlands- based furniture company PCS will present a chaise longue called AR1 at the IMM Cologne furniture fair this month.


The furniture is made from EPS and polyether foam, with a solid coating on the white base and leather-like coating on the coloured cushions.


Here’s some text from Rottier:
[ AR1 ] is a fresh translation of the classic chaise longue. Base for the design were ergonomic measurements and contemporary manufacturing techniques.
The body position allows active participation in conversation, but would not block a little nap either. The extreme durability of the materials allows for heavy duty in- and outdoor use, domestic as well as professional.
[ AR1 ] comes in five colors contrasting the white base; but color wishes can be fullfilled. Kid’s version available.
