EDEN is a family of products for relaxation and slumber, including a chaise longue, a bed and a sofa-bed. The particular feature of the collection is the original frame in metal and wood, entirely covered with cowhide, giving the product a precise connotation of luxury, functioning as the back of the chaise longue or the headboard of the bed and sofa-bed. In the daybed version the L-shaped back forms a support for soft down cushions. The bed comes with a base in wooden slats, with or without a storage compartment, and the headboard can be enhanced by two adjustable lateral wings that open to accommodate small bedside tables. The sofa-bed has a wooden slat platform and comes as a double bed or two twin beds; in the latter solution, the second extractable bed is raised off the ground with a simple touch of the foot, thanks to a patented mechanism that greatly facilitates the operation.

Cathedral ceilings and seamless cabinetry complement this home’s river view. The low ceilings in this ’70s contemporary were a nagging issue for the 6-foot-8 homeowner. Plus, drab interiors failed to do justice to the home’s Connecticut River view. By raising ceilings and removing non-load-bearing partitions, architect Christopher Arelt was able to create a cathedral-within-a-cathedral structure in the kitchen, dining and living area. Decorative mahogany rafters open the space’s height, introduce a warmer palette and create a welcoming framework for light. The homeowner, a Frank Lloyd Wright fan, wanted to emulate the famed architect’s use of reddish-brown concrete floors, and the result further warmed the interior. “Concrete has a connotation of cold and industrial but can be just the opposite,” explains Arelt. Clunky European hardware was replaced by hidden pivot hinges, and outside cabinet corners were mitered so there is no evidence of a drawer or door from any angle.

Masked behind layers of wallboard and wood blocking, a cellar is demolished to make way for descending through through what was expected to be traditional framing. Instead, a solid cast-in-place slab is discovered as ceiling of a concrete encapsulated room. The size, stealth access and twelve-inch-deep concrete of the room exactly match similar rooms found in the area designed as shelters during and after World War II. The space is rethought, and walls left as discovered The concrete ceiling still retains the texture of the formwork to cast it, steel bolts support a steel angle above added acess. Metal wire racks four inches away from the concrete suspend wine. A glass wall ensures climate control and also connotates exhibition of wine and wall. A wine room overlaid onto the preexisting shelter is an unlikely combination in both its materiality and philosophically. Perhaps enticing further conversation over a glass of wine.

Reflecting a seamless organic shape and timeless form, the Lippa dining table has become a symbol of modernism for over the past 60 years. Before its release, homes were filled with clunky remnants of an industrial age long gone by. But in order to advance into the new world, homes first had to transition from the traditional square table, into a piece that connoted progress. The base and dimensions are true to the original specifications, while the table’s oval-shaped walnut veneer top, and tapered metal base, are carefully lacquered with a scratch and chip resistant finish.
