An example of a must have of the future: an outdoor cypress tub.
It would seem the US hot tub thing is gaining ground here though there are few 'design' versions available.
Things are changing and ultra simple tubs inspired by Japanese models is one direction the movement is taking.
The Schimmerchild Tub , from the spring will be available for outside with all the accessories like steps,backrests, bubble jets etc...www.schimmerchild.co.uk

As a perfect reflection of the diversity of talent on offer at 100 percent Design, The British Council presented very singular work by Lanre Lawal, its award winner 2005. One piece was his Armistice armchair.
I quote: 'Armistice means a state of peace between two worrying objectives to arrive at a place to discuss or negotiate terms of peace. In this case Self and Place are the two objectives'
