Three Years ago I posted about Park 51 in New York, a project assigned to Michel Aboud , a Lebanese architect who graduated from American University of Beirut prior to continuing his studies in the U.S.A. His name shone then, since it was a controversial project, and continued since. He and his team opened an office in Beirut, Lebanon and have several Avant-garde projects at hand.It was lovely seeing one of their projects, Workshop, get awarded with the best restaurant in the Americas. Check out the photos in this post and description by SOMA below.

Host Restaurant in Denmark Is Overall Best Restaurant Design Winner
Norm Architects decided to take rustic interiors to a new level, with Höst. The secret here was using vintage chopping boards on walls, various furniture types, and yet a very well lit space. Lovely lighting designed by Norm themselves added a nice architectural dimension.
Hermes Furniture Collection
It occurred to me that i have posted several times about the Hermes furniture line but haven't actually posted the details of the items in the collection. Known for their architectural spirit in their designs in general whether in their bags or accessories, it is only natural for Hermes to apply the same approach to their furniture. As it is already known, architect Antonio Citterio designed their debut collection and Philippe Nigro worked on the latest one presented last April during Salone Del Mobili. Below are the details as described on the Hermes website.

Delbove Boutique in Brussels | Retail Design
It isn't strange with all the sophisticated details the past decade was about, that now designers and audience alike are resorting to more minimal yet powerful designs. The Delbôve boutique in Brussels designed by Christophe Remy is no exception.
Delbôve is a high-end cosmetics line recently re-launched by Gina d’Alsembourg. The branding in addition to the interior design was done beautifully. The brand has a long history which made the redesigning project trickier keeping in mind its existing customers and new ones to come.
