Monolith Dining Table
Designer: Gioia Meller Marcovicz
Location: n/a
Image Credits: Gioia Meller Marcovicz
At first sight this sculpture seems mysterious and requires some explanation; that with a simple movement it unfolds into a dining table for ten and ten dining chairs. The intent for this design was to jettison the straitlaced appearance of a dining ensemble and the want for space i.e. the archaic requirement for a dining room.

Cafeteria Kirschgarten
Designer: HHF architects
Location: Basel, Switzerland
Image Credits: Tom Bisig
For a school canteen, the Cafeteria Kirschgarten is exceptionally elegant. Ribbons of white wood connected by grey, shimmering aluminium cover the walls and ceiling, and a glass facade floods the space with light. By extending the wood ribbons out beyond the glass partition, the architect has created a terrace where children can sit and eat.

Commonwealth Institute
Designer: Office for Metropolitan Architecture (OMA)
Location: London, UK
Two years ago the grade II listed Commonwealth Institute was threatened with demolition following a UK government proposal to delist it. OMA's concept is being developed with a view to save this modernist monument and give it new purpose. The new designs reveal that whilst retaining the distinctive copper roof and parabolic form of the Institute, new residential accommodation will integrate into the existing fabric, regenerating that end of Kensington High Street.
