The Upstairs

We know how you love an exclusive scoop. Here's a little bit of something that not too many Durbanites have been lucky enough to see yet. Jossi Design has been involved for the past few months on the upstairs area (hence the name) above Spiga D'Oro in the space that was, once upon a time, the old Roman Lounge.

The brief was for an edgy, fun and retro space with a strong graphic element which was brought in by use of original artworks. We haven't had the professional photographer through yet, but we couldn't wait to share these you. Enjoy!

Nothing like using these first few quiet days of the New Year to do some housekeeping! If not kept in check our archives have a habit of swelling exponentially and, being the fantastically creative designers we are, we're good at creating a mess in the workplace. We can't help it. When the ideas are flowing the last thing we want to do is... *shudder*... filing...

Regardless, to move forward it must be done. Getting there slowly!

Multi-Functional Design

We're getting to the stage where space in our homes is an absolute luxury. Living in cluttered and messy spaces is not for everyone so the clever designers at Jossi Design will share a thought with you. My inspiration started from a chance perusal of the @Home store at Gateway where I saw this little side table and magazine rack.

@Home

So simple and so smart. Not only do form and function work in absolute harmony, but using glass makes the table almost disappear in any space giving the illusion of more space. Here are a few more ideas for you:

Inspired Design

We've all got an account and most respectable working professionals would never admit how much time they spend logged on. Did you ever wonder how Facebook looks from the other side? Just like you sitting at your desk, on your laptop, in your office - those clever programmers and techno wizards at Facebook HQ also have a working environment... and my curiosity got the better of me... so I went looking for it. 

Designed by Studio O+A, these open plan offices capture the ethos of social networking and social interaction. Areas are colour coded to distinguish the various teams all within a seamless industrial styled space. Cutting edge style with 1960's retro influence make the Facebook offices a hip space that we would expect it to be.

The pictures tell the story:

Christmas Shutdown

It's hard to believe that it is that time again already. End of another year and we can finally put our feet up for a well deserved break. Projects have wound down, suppliers are closing and the telephone is ringing less frequently. We look forward to sharing next year with you. Merry Christmas!
