'KOU' is a modular storage made of concrete by Bentu Design [Blocks sold individually] Dimension of one block: 36 x 36 x 26cm Bentu Design's furniture derives its uniqueness from the simplicity of its forms and its materials. Designed and manufactured by the designers of Studio Bentu themselves, these lamps, coffee tables, cup-boards and seats all have in common the use of concrete. This material that is usually reserved for construction use, finds here a certain nobility. The patterns that are created by the grains of this material once it flowed and unmolded is what gives the creations of Studio Bentu their originality. Accompanied at times finishing’s that are more valuable like marble or polished brass, making concrete a more suitable material for furniture. BENTU Design Studio was founded in 2012 as an independent design brand. They engage in product design and innovation. With a basic method of design, they are committed to make different materials return to their essence, present their unique texture and produce the products that suit our daily demand.

Designed with a more domestic environment in mind, the Connect Soft Modular Sofa from Muuto takes style cues from the original Connect Sofa and adds soft filling, an angled backrest and smaller proportions to create a more relaxing design for your home. The Connect Soft Modular Sofa is set apart from the crowd of modular sofas thanks to a host of understated details: Defined box stitching and matching piping solidifies the form of this inviting seating series. Small feet on the underside of the sofa subtly elevate the design for a slight hovering appearance which lightens the feel of the bulky form. Finally a platform at the base of the sofa makes a neat addition to the profile and grounds the design. A minimalist look ensures the sofa will match up with many interior styles and the plump cushioning creates a very comforting appearance. The sofa is available in a variety of upholstery options which are available on request. If you would like any help to arrange for some fabric samples to be sent to you, please get in contact and we'd be happy to help. Anderssen & Voll on the design: "The Connect Soft Modular Sofa is a seating system based on the idea of finding perfect proportional connections between the different components of the sofa. Designed with a deep, low seat, loose upholstery and an inherently soft filling, the Connect Soft Modular Sofa is at once elegant and contemporary" The Connect Soft Modular Sofa modules are also available as a pre-configured 2-Seater Sofa, 3-Seater Sofa and Corner Sofa. Please contact us for design advice or try Muuto's online sofa planner to explore all the options.

Mood sofa is part of the New Malabar's collection, future Classic. Alexander Rodchenko, considered one of the founders of the Constructivism movement, sought new art forms and modes of making art. Art, Alexander believed, had no place in the hermetic space of the artist’s studio. Instead, it should reflect the modern. Rodchenko’s work was heavily influenced by Cubism and Futurism, which featured geometric forms deployed against a white background. Inspired by this movement and its famous realistic abstraction art painting, Malabar designers conceived this future Classic sofa. Define your living room décor with the mood sofa that can be tailored to your design space and taste. Structured in walnut wood by our expert artisans and upholstered in cotton velvet, this modular sofa features a lacquered feet and three pillows. With carefully balanced proportions, its modular design and comfortable ottomans ensure that the mood sofa becomes a focal point of your decor.

Norman Carlberg (born 1928) studied at the Minneapolis School of Art and at the University of Illinois before going on to study under Josef Albers at Yale. "Recent Sculpture USA", a 1959 exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art in New York, featured Carlberg´s work. Afterwards, Carlberg taught briefly (1960–61) in Santiago, Chile. In 1961, he was named director of the Rinehart School of Sculpture at the Maryland Institute College of Art (MICA) in Baltimore. He taught at MICA until 1996. He collaborated with architects on major public projects, such as the Riverside Centre, designed by Harry Seidler and Associates in Brisbane, Australia. Carlberg´s sculptures are in the permanent collections of the Whitney Museum of American Art in New York, the Art and Architecture Gallery at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts in Philadelphia, the Hirshhorn Museum, the Guggenheim Museum and the Baltimore Museum of Art. Erwin Hauer (born 1926) is an Austrian-born American sculptor who studied first at the Academy of Applied Arts in Vienna and later under Josef Albers at Yale. Hauer was an early proponent of Modular Constructivism and an associate of Norman Carlberg. Hauer patented these designs, developed the technologies to manufacture them and installed several such walls in churches in Vienna. Hauer continued to work as an independent sculptor in Bethany, Connecticut. Erwin Hauer taught at Yale University School of Art from 1957 until 1990. His sculptures are in many public collections, including those of the Brooklyn Museum of Art, the Art Institute of Chicago, the Wadsworth Atheneum, the Museum of the National Academy of Design, and others.
There have been numerous installments of Math Monday on origami or kirigami of one mathematical form or another, but today is the first time we've covered a classic workhorse from this genre: the Sonobe modular origami unit. One of the simplest and most versatile of the modular units, there's so much to say about Sonobe that today we're going to start from the basics (parallelogram one?) and next time we'll take it to places I hope you've never seen it go before.

At work I am in a small lull between big projects and I was asked to help out on a design for a modular display system for our firm’s work. So with the help of the ever handy laser cutter I ended up making what amounted to several fun, tinker-toy-esque models. Once we complete the finished display I'll put up pictures (will be ready in early April). The circular module. Ended up being rather organic - almost leaf like. The diamond module. Ended up being crystaline with a complex spatial quality. The square module. This is the one we'll go with as it provides the most stability with the most display type of areas.

Bradford Hansen-Smith has been experimenting with structures made from a great many 10-inch bamboo skewers held together with short pieces of rubber tubing. He calls the technique Stickweaving and presents a gallery of interesting examples. Modular units connect to neighboring units with tubing and the entire structure is flexible enough to be collapsed or morphed into various surfaces.
