Vitrahaus combines a showroom with a museum and a resource center. This is why its interior is defined by diversity. A few interesting interior elements really stand out, such as the central spiral staircase with the white surrounding walls or the passages between exhibition rooms. If you are interested in design and have a chance of traveling near Weil am Rhein, Germany, we recommend visiting this incredible museum. But for now, all we can do is invite you to take a virtual tour by checking out the pictures below. via Designboom

In fact, its identity can be searched back into the 17th century, in the times of “archetypal shapes of tables and commodes” , as it was inspired by the how furniture looked four centuries ago. What is striking about this product is its elaborate production method. Here is a statement from the designer:  “This process took three months to perfect. The virtual design was ’sliced’ and each of the 57 slices, each 80mm thick (a total of 741 layers of plywood), was fabricated by CNC (computer numerically controlled) cutting machines, working on three, and sometimes five axes. Each slice was cut from the front and from the back to perfect the curves and undercuts, pushing the boundaries of the technology. All the slices were assembled and the entire object, which is a hollow plywood form, was finished by hand.” A lot of work for an apparently easy-to-make table, don’t you think? There were only 20 of these  made, most of them purchased by museums. – via BookofJoe

Zaha Hadid is known for her futuristic projects and for her numerous international competition awards. Her newest design is striking in terms of resources and scales. Â The National Museum of the XXI Century Arts, or the MAXXI Museum has recently been opened for the public in Rome, a city most know for its ancient values, rather than modern buildings and technology. The colossal building is located close to the Flaminio Station, reachable by Metro. It took 10 years to build and it evolved impressive sums of money. It is said that no major exhibitions are yet programmed, but we’ve heard names like Andy Warhol, Ed Ruscha and Anish Kapoor whose works will most likely be presented. -via Jaunted

Sometimes I just want to want to work attentively without any disturbance, and the Rewrite Desk designed by GamFratesi is an awesome place to take your productivity to another level. This desk was awarded with Denmarks Walk the Plank Award 2009 for excellence and craftsmanship in furniture. Showcased at GamFratesis solo show at The Danish Museum of Art and Design, the workstation features a cave-like shield that installs a big screen, upholstered and covered with textile to highlight its visual and acoustic aspects, so it can be used as a satellite desk wherever you like. The workstation by the Copenhagen-based designer combines the traditional form with modern technology, while a white lacquered metal box hides all the cables underneath the table, allowing a clutter-free workspace on the table. – Via – Dezeen
