It Met creates flexible workspace for Buenos Aires ad agency



  • Argentinian studio It Met used corrugated plastic and sheets of wood to partition the workspaces of this advertising agency in Buenos Aires.
  • “We are are an architecture and design studio, so the furniture pieces that we develop are always directed to solve or to complement our architecture spaces,” said Ciovich.
  • “There are 10 different kinds of panels, and all of them were designed under the same concept,” said Ciovich.
  • Ten types of panel in different materials and coatings were used to designate meeting rooms, desk spaces and recreational areas.
  • “We believe in the concept of modular architecture that takes shape through the union of different parts.”

Giant timber megaphones amplify sounds of Estonian forest



  • The workshop leaders asked the interior architecture students to come up with concepts of a forest library with Valdur Mikita, an Estonian author who writes about the importance of forests to Estonian culture.
  • The megaphones were then positioned around a small clearing, creating a “bandstand” for the sounds produced within the forest.
  • Created by a group of interior architecture students from the Estonian Academy of Arts, Unplugged Kingsize Megaphones is installed in a densely forested site in the Pähni Nature Centre, near the Latvian border.
  • Birgit Õigus designed the winning proposal, which was then constructed with the help of fellow students and installed on the site in September 2015.
  • This trio of mammoth timber funnels is designed to magnify the natural sounds of a forest in southern Estonia, and to double up as a space for ramblers to contemplate and rest.
