Dutch Design build in New York, Battery Park

New Amsterdam Pavilion by UNStudio

Tweet

The New Amsterdam Pavilion by Dutch architects UNStudio has opened to the public in New York’s Battery Park.

The four  wings of the pavilion give it a flower-like form, which is illuminated by different coloured lights after midnight.

Construction was completed a year and eight months ago (see our earlier story), but complications with catering prevented the pavilion from opening until now.

By day the pavilion is open to the public, providing a cafe and information point.

Photography is by Richard Koek.

Photo album and remembrance table! Brilliant

Remembrance

I have a strange pet peeve- I hate when people display things on top of their coffee tables. Doesn’t matter if its books, photo albums, or knickknacks… it drives me crazy. Problem solved! Ok, so maybe it’s not really a prob to anyone else, but it’s exactly why I appreciate Mitch Steinmetz’s Rememberance coffee table. Instead of acting as a medium for the user and their entertainment, it becomes the entertainment…Taking the form of the common album, the coffee table flips open to reveal tchotchkes, memorabilia, photos etc., encouraging the creation of new memories while cataloging old ones. Designer: Mitch Steinmetz
