British Furniture Brand - Another Country

Olá!

Recently, I was reading my latest issue DEZEEN MAGAZINE where I came across the British Furniture Company - Another Country.

Another Country's designs are archetypal, summoning the forms of British Country Kitchen, Shaker (one of my favorites), traditional Scandinavian and Japanese woodwork.

One of the things that drew me to Another Country is that the company is sustainable and all of their wooden products are made from certified solid woods in the UK, European and US suppliers.  Every piece is hand assembled and hand finished.

They truly believe that you cannot make furniture in a better way that this!

Literally Green Buildings

PARK ROYAL PICKERING

Recently, I have noticed a trend where greenery is now becoming apart of a building's façade.

The Park Royal Pickering in Singapore is designed as a hotel and office in a garden, the project at Upper Pickering Street is a study of how we can not only conserve our greenery in a built-up high-rise city centre but multiply it in a manner that is architecturally striking, integrated and sustainable.

Another great example of this trend is Stefano Boeri's Vertical Forest

Stefano Boeri's Vertical Forest

The studio led by Italian architect Stefano Boeri came up with the concept of Bosco Verticale, or Vertical Forest, as a way to combine high-density residential development with tree planting in city centres.  The first project born from this concept is now nearing completion in the Isola area of Milan's fast-developing Porta Nuova district. Two towers, measuring 80 and 112 metres, are set to open later this year and are already home to 900 trees.

As urban areas become more and more dense, incorporating greenery is such a great idea. We all need greenery which helps us feel better and at the same time greenery absorbs carbon dioxide and gives us fresh air!

As I start developing my 'Style' in Interior Design, I will be sure to incorporate greenery in my designs.
