Futuristic Antarctic Research System is a modular shelter for modern-day nomads

These futuristic mobile pods were designed to provide optimal living and working conditions for researchers exploring the coldest, driest, and windiest continent on Earth: Antarctica. Henry Mckenzie teamed up with his colleague Artur Kupriichuk and came up with a design for his master thesis, which envisions a modular shelter for modern-day nomads who live and work in one of the most extreme climates on the planet.

Davis Furniture's Modular Sofas Bring Sleekness And Ease To The Office

In recent years, modular architecture and product designs have become increasingly popular for home owners (see our previous modular design roundup here). Transformable and customizable, modular designs give consumers a standard template with which can be altered to suit their own personal taste—a highly desirable feature in a design world that champions the individual. Capitalizing on our current obsession with modular design, Davis Furniture recently designed a line of couches that leave the configuration and color totally up to the consumer. Davis Furniture’s Kontour couches come in two distinct shapes, which can be rearranged to create seemingly endless possibilities of forms. “Curved” pieces come in the shape of quarter-arcs, while “Straights” are defined by sleek, linear edges. Combined with a selection of ottomans and end tables, the rectilinear and curvilinear shapes create strong visual appeal while enhancing a designer’s ability to define spaces and control traffic flow in large public areas. Comfort was also prioritized in these modular pieces, as a also subtle, quilted stitch detail on the cushions provide optimized relaxation. Best suited for business environments, Kontour’s sharp lines and transformability greet clients …
