Let us now go to London for the new ME Hotel, designed by Forster and Partners in London’s glamorous West End for the international Spanish based Hotel Group Melia.  Keeping up with its neighbours, the ME Hotel is a destination spot, fusing together organic shapes with severe cuts of the triangle. The Hotel takes a neutral palette is exceedingly striking...

Hoorah!  (again) KE-ZU supplier Andreu World are no stranger to awards, certainly not the prestigious Red Dot Award. Their Flexa collection, available at KE-ZU has been recognized with the Red Dot 2013 Award in the Best Design Product category!  Andreu World and Piergiorgio Cazzaniga were recognized in the Red Dot 2012 award for their Sail chair – also available at...

FFF is always about ditching the furniture for a day.  None more so than today’s FFF where we celebrate an Aussie icon on her 39th birthday. We assume you’ve guessed by now, it’s Elle Macpherson’s birthday.  We imagine at 39 that the Aussie actress, model, clothing designer, TV host and mum is still being asked for ID at bars which...

Hooray! We were pleased to recently receive the news that KE-ZU supplier Axona-Aichi has welcomed another metaphorical trophy into their cabinet. Last Week Axona-Aichi’s Tipo Chair designed by Japan’s Taku Kumazawa was awarded the 2012 Good Design Award by the Chicago Athenaeum, the international museum of architecture and design, one the highest distinctions afforded in design. From over 48 countries...

It’s pretty obvious that we love Karim Rashid.  We stock many of his designs right here at KE-ZU.  Dubbed by Time Magazine as the “most famous industrial designer in all the Americas”, Karim Rashid is a multi-faceted creative superforce with over 3,000 works in production to date, it’s pretty hard then to fathom that he has any time to think...

We were going to save this little gem for a Furniture Free Friday this week at the Blog but we just can’t wait. It’s too good. The hypnotic Rita Hayworth – beautiful, flighty, rhythmic and engaging. The Bee Gees, brothers Barry, Robin and Maurice, blessed with voices of vibrato and falsetto forming tight harmonies pumping 1960’s dance floors the world...

Teresa Sapey isn’t at all unfamiliar with the design of a hotel.  She’s designed the interiors for Veracruz Plaza in Valdepanas, Spain and managed to turn a carpark into a colourful and graphic delight in Madrid when collaboratively working on the Hotel Puerta América Project (see the KE-ZU blog post here). Turning her hand to Barcelona’s Hotel Pau, the interiors...

Alright, alright. We know it's Furniture Free Friday here at the KE-ZU blog but we're just a bit excited - so forgive us... LZF Lamps specialize in the manipulation of plywood, producing lights and lamps of patterned, twisted form – finding themselves wholly remarkable as standalone pieces but holding the ability to group together harmoniously to extend the aesthetics of...

We do take to things that are a bit different here at KE-ZU.  Further, we carry a bit of a love for the creator of the unique - which is why today we love the Sydney based photographer Rebecca Ryba.   Ryba is one of those gifted creative types with an eye for catching the things in life that we just...

The Green Chair designed by the artistic multi-disciplined visionary Javier Mariscal for Mobles114 is a modern geometric number. This isn’t its only drawcard however – its beauty lies not only in its chameleon-like ability to suit any space both indoor and outdoor but also its 100% recycled and recyclable catalogue of materials. Formed by a recycled polypropylene textured seat shell...
