Adding a touch of playfulness to interiors, Myvinilo specializes in vinyl wall decals. The Barcelona-based company, which recently showed at the Feria Valencia during the Ideas y Pasión tradeshow, produces a wide array of wall treatments ranging from the purely ornamental to the cleverly conceived. The silhouetted skyline series (above) turns the top of most any sideboard into a horizon line, while the floral collection (below right) adds an organic sensibility to both minimal and pop interiors alike.
Prices range from roughly €16 for miniature decals to €80 for the most expansive compositions and nearly all come in over 20 individual colors or combinations thereof. While it seems Myvinilo distributes only in Europe and Mexico currently, we think retail sales in the U.S. would be, er, off the wall.

Active Furniture, a project by Spanish designers Virginia Pol, Ferran Lajara and Cristina Guardiola, uses counter-intuitive design as an antidote to our increasingly sedentary lives. The three objects—a floor lamp, a desk and a wall hanger—each require a level of exertion on the user's part to function. The floor lamp must be held upright, both to illuminate the bulb and keep the lamp vertical....
by Alex Pasternack In the wake of the Beijing Olympics, the Chinese capital doesn't hold too many surprises. But Opposite House—a glass-box boutique hotel in Sanlitun, a historically chaotic nightlife district—makes a welcome addition to the recent influx of upscale restaurants and luxury vehicles bombarding the neighborhood. Designed by the Japanese master of transparent buildings Kengo Kuma, a facade of pixelated emerald glass encases the...
