Bocci 14.36 Rectangle Pendant Chandelier

Bocci 14.36 Rectangle Pendant Chandelier

Design by Omer Arbel.The 14 Series are a family of low voltage pendant lighting products designed to be clustered in groups. Each individual pendant is an articulated, seamed, cast glass sphere with a frosted cylindrical void which houses a 10 watt xenon or halogen lamp. Unlike most contemporary lighting, the 14 Series pendants are visually quite subtle in and of themselves - they do not dominate a
room. Instead, they are designed for clustering - gaining tremendous visual strength when multiplied - the effect being of many tiny candles encased in floating spheres of water. The light interacts with the imperfections and bubbles of the cast glass to make a visually rich halo of light. Cast glass is an organic process - imperfect by nature - so each piece produced is unique.MaterialsCast glass, blown borosilicate glass, braided metal coaxial cable, and white powder coated canopy.MountingThe 14.36 Rectangle is equipped with "Headphone jack" hardware, allowing the canopy to be mounted on its own, and then the pendants can be individually "plugged in".Dimensions 4" Diameter sphere; 43.3"L X 14.6"W canopy. Pendants CANNOT be shortened in the field. When ordering please specify the longest height (10 feet max) and the shortest height. Heights are measured from the ceiling to the bottom of the sphere. The remaining pendants will be at random heights between the maximum and the minimum.LampingUses 36 X 10W 12V bi-pin xenon or halogen lamp (not included), electronic transformer.

The Bedroom : The Interior Design and Decoration

The Bedroom : The Interior Design and Decoration

If you long for a magical space to dream in, a luxuriously appointed contemporary or downright cozy room of your own, you'll find a bounty of inspiration in the lush photos and idea-filled captions in this gorgeous book. Glimpse the secret retreats of designers, architects, antique dealers, and other arbiters of taste (including fashion dignitaries Bill Blass, Karl Lagerfeld, and Valentino), and learn how they dress the bed, decorate the walls, arrange the accessories, and solve storage dilemmas, as well as how they convert nonbedroom spaces like studios, libraries, and living rooms into spectacular sleeping areas. Even those without unrestrained budgets or architecturally distinguished homes can adapt many of the ideas to their more modest arrangements. --Amy Handy

The Nature of Dwellings: The Architecture of David Hovey

The Nature of Dwellings: The Architecture of David Hovey


David Hovey is building some of the best modernist houses in the world, and the world is starting to notice. Hovey has made a name for himself as the torchbearer for modern residential design, a designation he shares with a growing number of architects who've returned to pure modernism. His houses merge into the landscapes in which they're situated, and with names like Cloud Chaser and Rain Maker, their ties to the land and climate are made clear. Hovey picks up where Frank Lloyd Wright left off, forging ahead with explorations of simple materials, rectilinear geometries, and structural innovation all in the service of free-flowing floor plans that merge indoor and outdoor into a cohesive whole. An extensive essay examines Hovey's unorthodox approach to architecture and explains how he has managed to build a successful career by staying true to his modernist ideals.

THE MODERN TOWNHOUSE will look at three types of town house projects that are increasingly popular in urban areas and close–in suburbia:

1) Renovation of existing town houses. This is a particularly popular activity in older, urban neighborhoods undergoing re–gentrification. Eighteenth and nineteenth century "shells" long in disrepair, are being gutted and totally modernized

2) Vacant lots, primarily in the inner cities, but also in close–in suburban neighborhoods where zoning restricts high rise housing, are being filled with four or five town houses that are built perpendicular to the street, usually in neighborhoods where the lot size would normally accommodate only one, detached house. This activity is in response to the increasing demand for urban housing where high land prices mandate multifamily housing solutions.

3) New, one–off townhouses, that are found primarily in wealthier neighborhoods where the high land cost can be recovered with a single, luxury town home.

The book will be divided into these three categories and feature project from around the country including Baltimore, San Diego, San Francisco, Miami, and in smaller metropolitan areas.

Hariri and Hariri Houses : Modern House Design Inspiration Ideas

Hariri and Hariri Houses : Modern House Design Inspiration Ideas

Here is the information of a house with the best architecture. This house with the best exterior and interior design can become the inspiration in building and designing a house.


Since starting their practice in 1986, Iranian-born, American-educated sisters Gisue and Mojgan Hariri have earned widespread praise for their ambitious body of work. Their up-to-the-minute recasting of classical modernist principles has made them a source of continuing inspiration to design students and professionals alike. Over the course of recent years, the Hariris' portfolio has expanded from small-scale commissions to widely celebrated projects, including the much lauded "Digital House" and the first house to be completed at The Houses at Sagaponac, the ambitious Hamptons development. Among the projects featured in Hariri & Hariri: Houses—illustrated in plans, drawings, and splendid full-color photography—are a new house for the AQUA development in Miami Beach; spectacular urban renovations in New York City; and magnificent new houses across the country, as well as international projects, all of which demonstrate the ability of the Hariris to combine modernist rigor with what New Yorker architecture critic Paul Goldberger identified as an "understanding of the patterns of everyday life."

About the Author
Gisue Hariri and Mojgan Hariri established the architecture firm Hariri & Hariri in 1986. Gisue Hariri has been an adjunct professor of architecture at Columbia University and a visiting critic at Cornell University, McGill University, and Parsons School of Design.Richard Meier has received numerous awards for his work, including the Pritzker Prize for Architecture.

150 Best Loft Ideas  for Modern Interior Design

150 Best Loft Ideas highlights the myriad ways a loft can work, and will help you create the loft you love

Loft life isn't just for artists anymore. What began as an affordable alternative to the high-cost of living in Manhattan in the 1950s has become one of the most expensive and inventive ways of living today.

From New York to Johannesburg, Buenos Aires to Barcelona, the lofts included in this book are variations on a simple open plan theme begun decades ago. Find lofts that double as both home and art gallery, where an artist's bedroom invades his exhibition space and the sleeping artist becomes a part of his own permanent collection. See family-inspired lofts with ample space for kids, complete with tire swings hanging from the living room ceiling. From former industrial factories, warehouses, garages, and schools, each loft featured here—whether it is a family home or bachelor pad, an office or an art gallery—offers a unique spin on the traditional concept of the loft.

The design of an apartment presents several challanges not imposed on the designer of a free-standing house. The most restricting is probably size, and second having to deal with walls that probably can't be moved. Even more interesting or challenging is dealing with the confines of an older building that may have beams in strange places,

New Classicism: The Rebirth of Traditional Architecture

New Classicism: The Rebirth of Traditional Architecture

New Classicism provides an in-depth look at a form of design that appeared lost forever with the rise of modernism in architecture. But now, with an intense revival of interest in classical design, and with the demise in popularity of the subsequent postmodernism, new vigor has infused traditional forms and motifs. Focusing on approximately thirty projects by the best classically oriented firms in the United States and Britain, New Classicism examines this burgeoning new vogue for the many varieties of traditional classical design.
The result is a dazzling array of highly disciplined and high-profile classical designs, ranging from the exquisite work of John Blateau and Alan Greenberg's eighteenth-century-inspired reconfiguration of the interiors of the U.S. State Department to the Nashville public library designed by Robert A. M. Stern and projects from the classical-design program at the University of Notre Dame.
