The Paramount Bar
The Paramount Bar, located on the top of London’s Center Point tower is one of London’s newest hottest venues. Designed by renowned English interior designer Tom Dixon, The Paramount’s aesthetics can be described as a mixture of 60’s retro with futuristic themes. Usage of concrete and stone turned into smooth, shiny hard-edged fixtures makes the place look like a night-hour spot inside a space-ship. With its clean interior and superior view, it’s now wonder why only the chosen can visit the place. A membership only spot, you must first apply and then be assessed to gain entry.

Infinity Furniture Collection
Drawing inspiration from the Tibetan Infinite Knot, symbolizing no beginning and no end, designer Richard Zawitz designed this three piece furniture collection. The three pieces are aptly called the Art, Sky, and Sun, with the Sun being the light fixture above. Designer Richard X Zawitz says, “I finally see the first true marriage between sculpture with furniture and lighting.” Zawitz plans to have the collection available for the spring of 2009.

Cosmo Chaise Lounge
The Cosmo Chaise Lounge looks like something Superman would lie down on in the Fortress of Solitude. If that’s the case, then Superman has great design aesthetics when it comes to furniture. Andreu Belenguer’s chair first started out a sketch a long time ago. A year later, his creation finally came to life and now here it is. Looking both sleek and comfortable, this lounge chair would be ideal for any homeowner who has a peculiar taste for the unique and modern. Available at Teys.

Mercedez-Benz Formula Zero Concept
The future of racing is upon us and it looks like the folks at Mercedez-Benz want to revolutionize the way cars of the future cross the finish line. Combining elements of land yachting, luge, and Formula one, Formula Zero is an idea you might see in some futuristic Japanimation type movie. But what makes the Formula Zero concept even more interesting is that each team will only be given a fixed amount of energy to finish the entire race. Energy efficiency is the key factor here when it comes to receiving points and winning races, which also highlights the concerns in the environment. To top it off, Mercedez-Benz plans to run the race on a glass track where spectators can see the race from different angles above and below. Read more to check out more pictures.

Clover House by Katsuhiro Miyamoto
Headed by Katsuhiro Miyamoto of Katsuhiro Miyamoto & Associates, the Clover house, which is located in Nishinomiya, Hyogo, Japan is definitely a design marvel in home architecture. The house features 16ft high ceilings, a cloverleaf shaped hall as a common family space, a flat glass box layer, spacious kitchen and bathroom areas, and more. All this was constructed with the family in mind, as the clover shape extends from the main living floor (the basement) all the way to the loft area (the first floor). Building features of the house include steel plates, calcium silicate boar, mortar, polyvinyl chloride flooring sheet, reinforced concrete, and steel frames. Not much different from other house materials, but this home definitely projects a truly unique and cool style for any lucky family. Check out more pics after the jump.
