Here’s an earthy, organic decor idea for the high-tech home – the iTree by kmkg is an iPhone and iPod docking station that is as unique as the concept. Each is one of a kind, fashioned from a hollowed-out log and boasting its individual woody, knotty quirks. Choose from cherry, poplar or spruce, or take a ride and pick out your very own log – any length, any size, hollowed out by hand for optimum sound quality. And taking customization into the 21st Century, you can choose the integrated technologies you’d like your iTree to have. It’s compatible with any iPhone, iPod, W Lan stream unit or CD player, and for the old-school music lover out there, even a turntable! Place it in a cradle as a stand-alone decor piece, or mounted to the wall it makes an ideal addition to small spaces, of the floor and out of the way. Beautiful and functional, the organic iTree is what we like to call “natural innovation.”

W Hotels has just announced plans for the Namaste Tower, a new W Hotel in Mumbai that is due to open July 2015. To follow the long tradition of great Indian architecture, the striking 984-foot-tall building will house 62 floors combined into a hotel, office, and retail space. It will stand as a landmark structure representing the burgeoning economic and cultural significance of India.
The architecture of the building was inspired by the traditional Indian greeting “Namaste,” which translates to “I bow to you” in Sanskrit. The gesture, in which one’s hands are clasped together in greeting, will be conveyed in the building architecture by the two wings of the hotel coming together as if they were hands extending the Namaste greeting to the city. This design will stand as the ultimate symbol of hospitality and welcome.

A former Renault factory is set to become a "living" school and gymnasium in the northern French city of Boulogne. Chariter Dalix has joined a partnership to transform the former factory space into an undulating and uplifting green building that encourages not only native flora to re-grow, but invites local fauna to pay a visit as well. Best of all: this is a place where children learn. So instead of locking away their imaginations in an awful, sterile environment, these kids will be able to play and study amongst chirping birds and squirming worms.
