Interior Design Sense

The appeal of marble is truly timeless…and these Transparete tile designs from 14 Ora Italiana make the most of this stunning stone. The natural beauty inherent in marble is displayed at its best with the transparent tiles. The translucency makes it possible to appreciate the grain glowing from within, as light shines through the 3 cm thick marble. The large 92 x 213 cm marble tiles shown here lend themselves to certain applications – such as a room divider, a shower panel, or a countertop. 14 Ora Italiana have enhanced the classic marble material by adding the contemporary design twist, combining strips of opaque and transparent marble to great effect. The only limit to their use is your own imagination! Contact 14 Ora Italiana to learn more about their Transparete tile design.

I’m not too much into historic and contemporary design, but I do know that this Louis XV commode Buffet and wine rack is quite interesting. Designed and manufactured by Axis FormLAB in a Rococo style it has subtle curves and miniaturized legs. Apart from trying to mimic the shapes and forms used in the 18th century, the commode is also practical with some sort of criss-crossed shelves and cubbyholes where you’ll get to “stick” your favorite wine bottles. It comes in Plywood with Oak Veneer, ghostly-white MDF, and enticing transparent acrylic, but we don’t have a price for it, yet. – via 3Rings
