Scrub away every hard day’s work while enjoying the fresh
air with the Talenti Rainbow Outdoor Shower. Beautiful yet functional, this
shower is perfect for any garden or terrace. The stainless steel and aluminum
construction shrugs off the elements, and it is finished in white for a clean

footprint means that it will fit in any outdoor space. You can even walk under
the arch when the shower is not in use, so the Rainbow almost becomes a kind of
sculpture or garden centerpiece.

The chair was created by Thomas Heatherwick— he collaborated with the Italian furniture
firm Magis to produce this chair. To construct it, plastic pellets are heated
and “rotationally molded”.
When you talk about forest retreats, you tend to imagine a
place filled with treehouse structures, where people can live right atop the
thick trunks and branches of large, woody plants. OAS1S has a different kind of
forest retreat in mind – instead of treehouses, people live in tall structures
designed to look like trees that can be in the middle of a jungle
without looking out of place.
The concept imagines designing a block in the city as an
open space, filled with actual trees, kind of like a miniature park reserve.
Then, you erect these tree-like structures within that expanse, essentially
creating a community within a forest-like enclave. The lot is designed to be free of roads, so no cars can come through, essentially creating a green place in the middle of a bustling metropolis. You know, a literal urban jungle.
The design of the OAS1S buildings are, literally, based on
the form of trees, so they’re a lot more narrow (16.4 x 16.4 feet, …
