Design: Bali Barret Shop 2, Omotesando Tokyo

After the "red bunker", Franklin Azzi has designed for Bali Barret a second shop in Tokyo.
The project of the military “red tent” gives the archetypic radical image of the military tent. Textile is initially of the beige or khaki color, and with the image of an intervention of artist, the fabric is subtly declined in red, is thus found disguised, touched in the middle same of its fibres.


The principal idea remains to impose on the space of the street and the city a prototype out of his initial geographical context.
While playing on the imaginary commun run, the object of fiction is then revealed by the geographical and space shift of an architectural prototype extremely.
Once moved away from its place initial, the object then reflects a shifted image which starts to vibrate the urban space which surrounds it.


The project consists of a frontage in oiled red fabric held using leather strap natural and suspended by a metal reinforcement. This fabric is held partly low by sand bags.
The entry is carried out via a hopper out of wooden.

Design: Hansacanyon by Reinhard Zetsch


It's not a new concept since Hansa proposes this beautiful faucet since 2005, but I find it so design and creative.




Reinhard Zetsch has designed the faucet as a canyon from where a backlighted water spurts out.


The color of the water changes according to the water temperature (LED systems).

A shower with the same system is proposed too.
