Studio Aulík Fišer Architekti, co-owned by two Czech architects Jan Aulík and Jakub Fišer, designed unique interior of Prague restaurant and wine shop RED Pif. Restaurant recognizes traditional values of wine industry and gives you a chance to enjoy every glass of wine you order.

Historical materials are represented by oak wood on the floor and bar counter, rebars (used in vineyards as poles supporting vine) for bottle shelves and Czech chairs traditionally made from bent wood. Other interesting feature is that every visitor can change the ambience of RED Pif restaurant. All thanks to Aulík Fišer Architekti, company which designed special revolving screens resembling the means of storing wine bottles in boxes for evening wine tasting or private events. They allow the shop windows to be closed completely. A visitor then finds himself in a sort of a wine cellar, separated from the reality of the surrounding city.

Russian studio Art. Lebedev came up with fresh idea of new piggy bank. Copilcus will make all your savings positive, which is a nice change in your money plan. Coins are being inserted through “plus” symbol, unlike in a traditional piggy bank. As Art. Lebedev studio says: Do not waste time on negative savings, go with a positive “plus” plan!

Design duo Petar Zaharinov and Konstantin Achkov presented their new furniture concept and exhibition in Credo Bonum Gallery, Sofia. They came up with hole new idea of presenting furniture more as an art and sculpture, than as an interior facility. Authors motto: “Puzzles for living“ is replica of the famous quote of Le Corbusier  - “Machines for living in”. Their aim is to make furniture and industrial machines more personal, despite the post -industrial future. Petar Zacharinov - architect and Konstantin Achkov - sculptor, both representing two different professions, share the same idea of creativity and processing. Designers want to make people more connected with their equipment and more interested in a way of assembling furniture. Puzzles for living is brilliant concept, which will more or less influence human minds and their view on mass production.

Mistral Café is situated in the historical centre of Prague, in Josefov in the Old Town. The aim of restaurant is to characterise and represent this area, as well as to offer the unique space for wide range of people walking around. In the epicenter of education and arts, Mistral Café is often a choice of very interesting personalities.

Designed by czech studio Muon, leaded by Jiří Zhoř, Mistral Café interior is simple, comfortable and very efficient. Small flower-pots with herbs support the fine atmosphere of sitting in a garden behind an old house wall. Jiří Zhoř has used different materials, however two of them seem to be very dominant. Every piece of furniture is made of bleached birch plywood with smooth texture and the second material is rough concrete, appearing on old walls and as the dark skim on the floor.

Muon architecture – space between the sound: “Muon is silence, concentration and tension in space. Concentration is about searching for essence, tension is about creation. Design is about connecting them both. Architecture is about values that can be realized by this connection.“ this philosophical quotation perfectly matches with the main idea of Mistral Café, a place where you can not only sit and eat, but feel the special atmosphere.

One of the latest works from Art. Lebedev is the concept giving a new impulse to watch market, according to their task: To bring an idea to life. Studio Art. Lebedev have designed specific digital watch Integralus, which have two separated display segments. One for minutes, one for hours and each has his own baterry. These segments are designed to snap together to lock your watch. The body is made of machined aluminum. The elastic band comes in three sizes, diverse colours and uses spring shafts to connect to the body.

Art. Lebedev latest products are two keybords sharing the same idea of personalisation your computer workplace. Optimus Popularis may look like a normal keybord with standart layout, however it is not true. Each key can be displaying any image and be assigned with any function, from special symbols to most popular shortcuts. Optimus Popularis have been designed with creative people in mind, as musicians, designers, photographers, etc.

Second device, Optimus Mini Six is perfect to use as a tools panel, remote control and other ways which will help you to shorten up opening applications. Optimus Mini Six offers six customizable keys, that can have diverse functions, same as her bigger sister.

Design studio ArtLebedev have come up with new stylish accessories for your kitchen or bar. Ctrl+O is one of the most common computer shortcuts and also the inspiration for Russian studio. They designed the ultimate bottle opener, which will make opening ceremony more fun.

Made from high quality stainless steel, pleasantly heavy and with typical ArtLebedevs barcode on the back, Ctrl+O – connecting two very different worlds. For more info visit studio website.

If you are looking for an interesting piece of furniture, designduo ALLT revealed a new concept of simple chair and cabinet. They used spruced wood in a way it is normally stacked to avoid degradation and allow better manipulation. These random profiles and airiness which can be found in industrial context offers you a closer connection with raw material and wood structure. Every object is created by cutting out spaces and its function is transformed by adding or removing stacked material.

Studio ALLT – All That is run by Peter Simonik and Elena Bolcekova, based in Bratislava, Slovakia since 2011. They are mostly interested in design, not like a proccess, but also like a story and its purpose. For more info visit: http://www.allt.sk/index.php

One of the last concepts that have been awarded with Red Dot Award: design concept is strongly connected with agriculture same as the country which its designer comes from. David Polášek (1984) graduated with masters degree in industrial design on Tomáš Bata University in Czech republic. His main goals in design are: simlicity of product, smart solutions and form should strictly follow the function. These features are easily recognisable in the very last concept NOVO.

NOVO is futuristic vision of tractor in near future. Its design involves aerodynamics and nearly trend views, these two factors highlights the logic of a moving object. Whole concept includes new attitudes to ergonomics, functioning and creation of every separated part of machine. NOVO is not only the name of David Polášek concept, but also the name of design studio which he is head designer of.
