Monument to Pedro Almodóvar by Enproyecto Architects
Enproyecto Architects have completed a monument in recognition of Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar, located in his hometown of Calzada de Calatrava, in the heart of the community of Castilla, La Mancha, Spain.
The project was the winner of a competition launched by the community government to pay tribute to Almodóvar’s film work and to make references to the culture and landscape of La Mancha. The main idea of the project was to frame the land of La Mancha, as if it were a fragment of one of his films.
Blend by Mieke Meijer
Dutch designer Mieke Meijer has created Blend, a fusion of a bed and chair.
Mieke says:
The chair refers to the 17th century, when people slept semi-sitting up because laying down was associated with death. The chairs now function as night tables.

Digitally Fabricated Bookshelf by dbd Studio
dbd Studio have sent us photos and a video of a recently completed bookshelf they designed for a condo in Washington, DC.
From the designers:
The owner had a severe lack of storage for household items, as well as no display options for objects collected from his worldwide travels. The large bookshelf serves as both an art piece in itself and a functional storage/display system. An organic curving surface was created in Rhino that stretched from floor to ceiling and overhead, terminating at the existing bulkhead. 17 sheets of 3/4″ birch plywood were then CNC milled to notch together and form the undulating, gridded mass.
See the photos below, and watch a video of them installing the bookshelf – here.

Bone, Bridge and Together Tables by Daniel Meise
Bone, Bridge and Together, are three coffee tables created by Austrian designer Daniel Meise.
Meise creates the sculptural pieces by using a special concrete that hardens quickly and remains strong despite their thin walls. The pieces appear to be quite heavy, but looks can be deceiving. Meise’s T-shaped “bone” table with only 8 to 10 millimeters wall thickness weighs only 25kg.

The Barnacle Stool by Robert Brou
American designer Robert Brou has sent us photos of the Barnacle Stool he has created.
From the designer:
The design was entirely created in the moment while in the shop. The body is constructed of 12/4 (3″) Maple lumber that is laminated together and then sculpted with a variety of grinders and sanders. This sits atop eleven Ash legs that are dyed purple. Each leg is set into the body at a slightly canted angle that gives the piece life by suggesting motion. This work is the first to bridge the gap between simpler sculpted forms like the ‘Tree’ table and more complex multi leg forms like the ‘Urchin’ table.
