The inimitable Philippe Starck is showing off his design prowess at the Milan Design Week. The critically acclaimed French designer unveiled his "Magic Hole" collection which consists of an armchair, a two seater sofa and a smaller table-front armchair. The chairs are meant to be kept outdoors and the bright orange pocket aka hole is not incidental as it can hold objects like newspapers, magazines and other knick-knacks. This shock resistant and weather proof collection sure makes a dramatic statement.

These house pictures showcase the work of Kanner Architects on the “511 House” in Pacific Palisades, California. The home measures 3,500 square feet and has two stories. A theme in the house plans was to blur the lines between indoor and outdoor. The first floor is nearly all lit by natural sunlight with windows and sliding glass doors everywhere. The main house areas such as the living room, kitchen and dining room are all on this floor. The sliding glass doors can be pulled back to allow the natural breeze to come in turning the floor into a near patio due to all the sunlight. Inspiration for the home was drawn from Richard Neutra and Ray Eames. The home furnishings show a lot of Eames’ influence. Via.

The chairs are the idea of Peter Harvey who created them in the likeness of the human tongue as a sculptural adaptation of the body part, but in the form of functional furniture. The chairs are designed for indoor or outdoor use and can be found here. Be sure and check out another story on human furniture.
