In the desert landscape of Scottsdale Arizona, local architecture firm Chen + Suchart Studio have completed this 3,000 square foot residence. The house is conceived as three separate volumes whose relationship to one another dictates the use and form of the structure by providing a very private ground level while still allowing enough transparency to enjoy the views of the McDowell mountains. 

Sliding glass walls connect the interior and exterior transforming the use and feel of the spaces on the ground level. Above, the master suite and office look down onto the yard through a wrap around balcony that creates a deep eave to control the intense direct sunlight. The three structures that make up the residence work in conjunction to represent the site to its fullest. 

Danish design duo GamFratesi have incorporated patterned cane panels into a collection of steam-bent wood furniture for Gebrüder Thonet.

Overlooking a golf course just north of the coastal town of Pinamar, Buenos Aires, this raw concrete structure on the dunes is a site to behold. Designed by architect Luciano Kruk, the structure is made of three stacked forms, some of which the aspects are half buried. The home exudes an ultra minimal and modern aesthetic, with an interior flaunting a neutral colour palette to not distract from the phenomenal views.

Studio Christian Wassmann has completed a sculptural three-storey residential extension in Miami Beach. The project establishes a clear dialogue with the site's original 1930s bungalow by way of an open space between the original structure and the new addition. As its name suggests, the "sun path house" uses the sun to foster the vitality and health of its inhabitants with an outwardly spiraling wall that is simultaneously structural, functional and sculptural.

As part of the Art Basel Miami festival, Louis Vuitton are exhibiting a new addition to their famed Objets Nomades collection - a series of furniture pieces that reference the brand's association with luxury travel. This year, they enlisted famed industry stalwart, Marcel Wanders to join the line up of already impressive designers - including the likes of Patricia Urquiola, Raw Edges, Campana Brothers and Atelier Oi. 

Wanders' 'The Lounge Chair' is described as an "unfolding and portable oasis for relaxation", consisting of three separate modules that attach to each other in various ways, allowing for numerous seating solutions including a chaise lounge, pouffe or armchair. It is available in two colours (the classic Louis Vuitton brown and a turquiose) and both are on display in the Miami Design District store up until February 10th 2016. 

As a tribute to master still life painter Giorgio Morandi, Elena Salmistraro has designed a trio of lamps for Seletti that are a modern reinterpretation of what he focussed on most in his work - bottles in still life. Morandi had a way of capturing the bottles with a soft light and subtle colours giving them almost a magical appearance. Salmistraro brings them back to three dimensions by "pulling the bottles out of the canvas and turning them into the MRND lamps.
