Atelier Tekuto: HG House
Japanese firm Atelier Tekuto has completed HG house in Setagaya-Ku. The concept of the house was derived from the client’s request of ‘living in the garage’. The living room opens out into a courtyard where bikes can be stored. The overall design is unified with finishes using steel and solid wood.

Visvim encompasses something that Varón believes in - the creation of anything, big or small should be done right. Visvim, a Japanese lifestyle brand, famous for its footwear collaborations and utilitarian sense of style, has created a world around its brand that represents an effortless , solid style. All of their products are first and foremost, thoughtful, useful, and comfortable.
Even their retail spaces and showroom reflect this philosophy. In Visvim’s Dissertation of 2009-10, they write, “what kind of design elements would allow a person visiting our store to feel comforted. After careful consideration of all possibilities, I concluded that high ceilings, natural light, the balance between that light and shae, the use of greenery or some organic component, and the scent occupying the space, were all essential elements.”
You can check them out at London Dover Street Market and other selected locations. Visvim

Moleskine detour at MoMA store Yokyo
Inside the MoMA design store in Omotesando, a glass tunnel with 50 moleskine notebooks showcased the imaginations of architects, designers, writers, directors and artists. Visitors were invited to use a pair of white cotton gloves (which were distributed at the entrance)for closer inspection, of the painting, drawing and doodling of famous architects and designers,on the empty white pages of a new notebook.
Launched in 2006 in London, the event has since expanded to notebook exhibitions among native creatives in cities including New York and Paris, with Tokyo opening last week and Berlin scheduled to launch next month.
