Christmas eve

Dutch designer Mieke Meijer has created Blend, a fusion of a bed and chair.

Mieke says:

The chair refers to the 17th century, when people slept semi-sitting up because laying down was associated with death. The chairs now function as night tables.

Enproyecto Architects have completed a monument in recognition of Spanish film director Pedro Almodóvar, located in his hometown of Calzada de Calatrava, in the heart of the community of Castilla, La Mancha, Spain.

The project was the winner of a competition launched by the community government to pay tribute to Almodóvar’s film work and to make references to the culture and landscape of La Mancha. The main idea of the project was to frame the land of La Mancha, as if it were a fragment of one of his films.
