Inner Child Home designs If kids could design and build whole homes, what would they look like? This so-called Rainbow House is filled with secret doors, slides that bridge between floors and multi-colored spiral staircases to wind you back up. Chutes and ladders, anyone? Dubbed a “magical oasis’ by its creators (AB Rogers and DA Studio, the busy and noisy road next to the building is matched by equally rambunctious and interactive interior decor. Stepping in off the street is a lot like walking into a fantasy looking glass or wardrobe portal. An over-sized sofa on the main floor ? Amidst the gleeful madness, though, there is much reason alongside rhyme – minimalist fixtures and functional cooking spaces are animated by their surroundings, but remain modern and somehow adult despite their setting.
The Aviator's Home Office A couple of days ago I tweeted that if you are working virtually you should "build yourself a home-office. Do not use your kitchen table or a corner in the living room." Having a great working environment is very important. It should feel good, inspire your senses and make you happy. The style of your home office should reflect who you are as a person, but if you happen to be into old style aviation, here is a home office you just cannot ignore. It comes from the fabulous shop "Restoration Hardware," who excels at be the best classic home furniture and decoration store. Desk You get the hand built Aviator Wing Desk, made of polished aluminum and hardwood. Chair Add to that the Spitfire chair, sporting sleek aluminum-clad covered back, and upholstered smooth Antiqued Whiskey leather. Bookcase To keep things organized, get the Aviator Bookcase, which like the desk is made from polished aluminum and hardwood. Relax Follow: 42Concepts
Core77 / industrial design magazine + resource / home Civil and Uncivil Violence in Lebanon: A History of the Internationalization of Communal Conflict In this long-awaited work, Samir Khalaf analyzes the history of civil strife and political violence in Lebanon and reveals the inherent contradictions that have plagued that country and made it so vulnerable to both inter-Arab and superpower rivalries. How did a fairly peaceful and resourceful society, with an impressive history of viable pluralism, coexistence, and republicanism, become the site of so much barbarism and incivility? Khalaf argues that historically internal grievances have been magnified or deflected to become the source of international conflict.

Opinion :: Columnist :: Indictments II, a disappointing sequel? The Special Tribunal for Lebanon is lucky to have Sayyed Hasan Nasrallah as a foe. On Tuesday, he again described the institution’s accusations as part of a conspiracy against Hezbollah. Were it not for the secretary-general, whose anxiety tends to confirm the tribunal’s seriousness, observers might have examined more critically the shortcomings in the United Nations investigation of Rafik Hariri’s assassination and those of many others between 2005 and 2008. There are reports, which may well be true, that further indictments are forthcoming. Last year officials from the tribunal’s prosecution office were privately declaring the indictments would be issued in stages. The principal reason for this is that the U.N. investigation altered its strategy in mid-stream between 2005 and 2006. Mehlis based his strategy on a number of factors. Mehlis also had his personal experiences to go on in devising his approach to the investigation. Under Serge Brammertz, the strategy was reversed.
Combo Couch: All-in-One Lounger, Love Seat + Sofa Bed = « Dornob Sofa beds sneak two functions into one piece of furniture, but these designs go beyond the binary ‘convertible couch’ typology to be completely modular, comfortable for sitting up, laying back or lying down in any number of custom configurations. This seating set from Zuiver builds on the classic fold-out footrest and flip-up backrest concepts of an easy chair, but take such loungers to new levels by expanding the entire idea horizontally into a multi-person love seat, then stretch it further to a full-length sleep-friendly sofa. Each modular segment can be flipped in, out, up or down as desired by the people using each part of the seating space – a pair of chairs can be formed within the larger whole of the couch, or the entire system can open and accommodate a couple comfortably.
