Designers Ralph Lauren and Stella McCartney , Olympic uniforme for thier team .

  The Ralph Lauren-designed 2012 London Olympic Games uniforms are based around a strong navy and white colour palette with hints of red, and will be worn by the American team during the formal opening and closing ceremony parades.

As Stella McCartney’s Team GB kit was met with criticism from some members of the British public, we’ll be looking forward to hearing the reaction of American citizens to Ralph Lauren’s Olympic efforts.

Binta for Moroso, is an Africa armchair by Swiss designer Philippe Bestenheider.

Binta for Moroso, is an Africa-inspired armchair by Swiss designer Philippe Bestenheider. The chair’s form is based on African wood carvings and the upholstery is based on Senegalese patchwork fabrics.

'Binta was inspired by Africa. Its sculptural shape evokes African wood carvings, but its polyurethane rubber forms are softer. Like a baobab tree, Binta anchors itself firmly to the ground with thick, trunk-like feet whose elegant forms bring to mind the weighty baobab.
Its upholstery is a patchwork of Wax fabrics, the traditional textiles worn by African women. Contrasting patterns and colours emphasise the armchair’s shape, enveloping and moulding its silhouette.

Younes Design

Franco-Moroccan designer Younes Duret has been keeping busy, with his inventive modern designs drawing from his multicultural background to create humorous and beautiful objects for daily life.

Who doesn't enjoy a beautiful presentation when it comes les arts de la table? Younes adds to his portfolio of servingware (including a surprising heat-sensitive tray and his chunky take on the traditional Moroccan teapot) with a quadruple-decker tajine and these gorgeous little zellij-shaped dishes.

North African zellij patterns have been a major source of inspiration for Duret , "Big Tajine": what Duret calls a new way to surprise diners through while conserving traditional methods of cooking and preparation.

Designer Patrick Nadeau , rainfall .

The perfect contrast to the smooth lines and planed surfaces of Boffi’s designs, architect/designer Patrick Nadeau created an otherworldly installation based on a tropical landscape with glowing green vegetal rainfall. Skeletal and ethereal, the domes hung over the solidity off the Boffi kitchens and bathrooms, dimly lit to evoke the rain forests of South America.
