2x Glass Bowl by Assembly 

Broken glass shards are embedded—and blunted—in this deceptively safe bowl that’s mouth-blown, molded, cut, and polished.
Anna Lynett Moss and Farrah Sit unveiled two glass tables and two leather-and-metal chairs at NYC Design Week 2015.
Like New York City, the fair is organized as a grid of blocks, punctuated by open spaces that provide places of social interaction. Also meant to combat "fair fatigue," Bade Stageberg Cox's L x W x D benches, extraordinarily simple in geometry, are "activated" only once they are populated by people sitting, lounging, or reclining on them.
A C-Frame catamaran currently docked in Prague’s Holesovice neighborhood, Port X is a buoyant dwelling for modular, modern living. Prague’s Atelier SAD finished the concept last fall, collaborating with a company that develops sailing boats to fabricate its curved exterior.
“It’s oriented for the river," says architect Adam Jirkal. “It doesn’t have an engine. We wanted it to be as low to the water as possible, to really work with the water.”

“We wanted to create a showplace for the community, a space to bring people together,” says Frederik Frede, the site’s founder and creative director. “The goal was to make it cozy, without the feeling of a showroom.” The designer pad also boasts an Epson projector and Burmester audio system.

Kitchen of the Freunde von Freunden X Vitra Apartment

Ride the wave: The sleek, open kitchen, centered around the custom black marble island with none-too-subtle Southern California callouts like the surfboard in the corner, is Frede’s favorite room. The kitchen fixtures and countertops are by Miele and Dornbract.
