French luxury brand S.T. Dupont has asked the famous designer, Karl Lagerfield, to create a range of stylish highlighters and pens with a distinct feature. Lagerfield is known for using Shu Uemura nail polish to sketch his designs, and will be incorporating the polish into the ink of the pen to create a “burgundy lacquer,” even the pens will be “fan-shaped” so that they fit neatly between fingers and won’t roll off of your desk. The price, details of release and other facts however are still not clear.

Beirut Residential Building by Accent Design Group | Architecture

 

It seems irregular shapes in architecture is the trend nowadays. This is a project located in Beirut on the Fouad Shehab Highway, which is a convenient and beautiful location. The best part about the location is that it overlooks downtown Beirut, and unlike most other areas in Beirut, the view can’t be blocked.

The design focuses on “stacked glass boxes” with an additional aim from its design, maximizing buildable area.

 

The view from this building is amazing, you can see the best of Beirut, i.e. downtown and the sea at the same time, that’s mainly due to the location of the area on a somewhat higher level. The panoramic glass blocks have shading louvers to provide privacy and shade from the excessive sunlight.

Its important the main view was one sided, as the area behind the building is still to a great extent still abandoned and with no great views whatsoever.
