The exploration of “Smart-ologic Corian® Living”– an evocative home concept composed of garden, kitchen, living room, bedroom and bathroom – is an exciting journey, a plunge into a fascinating world of colours and shapes, a voyage in the discovery of the genius and solutions by Karim Rashid’s “smart design”.
The tour around “Smart-ologic Corian® Living”
The concepts are based on the formability and the sensorial quality of the wide range of current colours and types of DuPont™ Corian® techno-surface (including also the brand new 2010 Eco-Concrete and Eco-Terrazzo series with recycled content) and on a possible future bio-based evolution of DuPont™ Corian®, a high-tech surfacing material that has already received important independent certifications and recognitions for its environmental performance (like GreenGuard®, NAHB North American Builders Association, U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED® Green Building Rating System, ISO 14025 Green Choice, Ecospecifier, Scientific Certification Systems) and for its hygiene (like LGA QualiTest, NSF International and Royal Institute for Public Health).

Contemporary Architecture: Bars and Restaurants
Jacobe Kraue (Links International March 2010)
The wide array of designs presented in this volume offers a varied vision of the latest trends in bar and restaurant interiors. The selection is an excellent cross-section of some of most exciting dining rooms at the forefront of design. With the creative impulse given free reign these designs have inevitably been excellent testing grounds for studying different developments in architectural language, use of materials and volume design. Each project is elegantly illustrated with full-colour photographs, floor plans, sketches and detailed commentary from the respective design studios.
