Sculptural Staircase by
Philip Watts Design is an award-winning creative design and build team based in Nottingham, UK. Founded in 1993, the company has successfully designed over 500 products, worked on over 100 interior projects, and completed 150 unique bespoke installations world wide. The extensive collection of products produced by Philip Watts Design includes all aspects of creative architectural ironmongery, lighting, contemporary urinals and sanitaryware.
But it was this particular sculptural staircase that really caught our eye. It features glass and timber details and was a bespoke design for a private residential interior in North Hampton. The breath-taking design takes the form of a backbone that weaves its way between two floors and appears to melt into the lower floor in a metallic puddle. It has a real Sci-Fi feel to it, don’t you think? This is certainly one of the most creative staircases that we have seen at Freshome. What do you guys reckon?

PRODUCT Sculpture faucet design

It is at different times and places, but with the coincidence of chance encounters on the shoreline of the water, element of the Company’s inspiration, that the creative people of Gessi happened to meet the designer Maurizio Scutellà and the artist-philosopher Marsel Lesko. Both had independently been engaged to create – a graphic perception the former, a poetic sculpture the latter – that integrated states of physical, mental and spiritual balance. If, as Marsel Lesko imports “nothing happens by chance”, but everything has a fundamental attraction, it is the convergence of talks in these encounters about balance and a primary sensory wellness, that led Gessi to the creation of an art and functional object that enables people to find their own balance: an archetype that produces energy. 5
Marsel Lesko is a sculptor of spirit and a master of life; his art and his philosophy are based on the pursuit of a concurrence of outer and inner well-being. This state can be achieved through immersion of our soul, which is our own breath, into the natural breath of the universe, that typical expansion and contraction of tides, the alternation of sunrise and sunset, the budding and then falling of leaves on the trees. In order for energy to run through us, it’s necessary to make room for it within ourselves: “I let balance come into me,� says Marsel, and the stone, which is the ancestral memory of the universe, can communicate the original energy with which it is impregnated, predisposing us to achieve well-being.
6
THE ARCHETYPE The graphic sign of Maurizio ScutellĂ captures in a perfect correlation of curves and counter-curves, the essence of harmony and strength of balanced stones, translating the natural sculpture into a furnishing and functional archetype.

SIEMATIC PURE
2018 The design concept of the new SieMatic PURE style collection gives purist kitchen design completely new contours and a unique character. Its characteristic feature is the delicate, 2-cm frame that surrounds integrated elements: a design that creates clear boundaries while simultaneously opening up new spaces for additional configuration and design options, from shelves to cabinet ensembles. Developed in cooperation with the Berlin design team KINZO.

Awesome Pergola Design
30
Pergolas incorporate beauty and function to your front or backyard. They are garden or yard structures that provide seating, shade, and comfort outside your home. A thoughtfully designed pergola will provide character to your outdoor space and define a separate area from the rest of the yard. There are different pergola design ideas to match your needs. A pergola can be a relaxing corner for tired gardeners, a cosy garden nook for readers, an outdoor dining area, or an installation to maximise your frontage appeal.
Geometric Screens Steer away from the usual slats and opt for the more imaginative geometric screens and roof for your pergola.
Roof and Water Feature Nobody can miss this extravagant pergola! The awesome architecture includes, clean lines, an eye-catching roof feature, and a matching water installation. A design feat!
Retractable Canvas Shade Need shade but only for few hours a day? The retractable cloth or canvas shade is your perfect solution. Bring them on when the sun is shining too much, and pull them in when you need unhindered view and space.
The Zen This pergola design provides height and depth, and helps the small yard look bigger. The basic black posts, beams, and purlins match the wood and stone Zen vive.
Modern Pergola No crude carpentry work allowed here. You will need professionals for the perfectly positioned side slats for privacy, impeccably appointed seating, dramatic lighting, and flawlessly constructed floors and roofs.

Stylish Living Room
Pink and gray, soft and hard, concrete and wood — this tiny apartment in Moscow is a lesson in contrast.
Of course, keeping the greenery outside and embracing the many shades of gray is also a valid choice.
Lighting is another critical element when dealing with concrete — not enough and a room can quickly devolve into a cave
32
In an open floorplan, the light gray of concrete creates a theme for the entire living area.
You will see in many of these living rooms that wood and concrete work well together, here as a frame for a simple, modern sofa.
When concrete goes beyond one accent wall, other elements have to be dramatic to have the same impact. And what’s more dramatic than a life-sized horse statue?
