The Monastery by Eriksen Skajaa Architects | Design Milk
The Monastery is the name of this project by Arild Eriksen, Joakim Skajaa of Eriksen Skajaa Architects for Netlife Research. Netlife wanted their new spaces to feel creative, yet offer spaces for privacy, reflection and silence. Inspired by a monastery garden, the architects designed a brick and wood building partition in the center of a wide open office space that features niches for plants and privacy, and windows for air circulation. One of the niches outside contains a bench to sit and read or relax.
Rocking Chair Sculpture Calendar 2012 | Design Milk
How genius is this 2012 Rocking Chair Sculpture Calendar by Katsumi Tamura for Good Morning, Inc.? It is designed to sit on your desk and it even rocks back and forth like a real rocking chair. The design is meant to symbolize a relaxing way to measure the passage of time, i.e., rocking. The current month sits on the back of the chair while the other months are stored on the seat.
