the union 1 The Union: Old Wreck Renovated into Modern Solar powered Lofts

The old Union Hall of San Diego’s Textile Manufacturing Business got a new lease of life thanks to the innovative design of architect and developer Jonathan Segal. The architect decided to revamp and reuse the old structure in tatters, instead of demolishing and building a new one, which not only saved time, but also building material. His sustainable design now includes a total of 13 new residential lofts. Some of these are available at the market rate while others are affordable despite the array of ergonomic features they incorporate. The innovative homes are powered by solar power for 50% of their energy needs and also are lit up by great natural ventilation. – via JetsonGreen

The Fish Tail Chair by Asad Firdosy

Share |

A few days ago architect Asad Firdosy sent us a few pieces of furniture to take a look, and from these pieces we selected the Fish Tail Chair, and here are a few words about this product from Asad : “When I designed this chair all I wanted to create a statement in wood and upholstery. I took small pieces of wood and started putting it together as we take words and put them together to form a sentence. Every sentence depicts a thought, we remove one word and the meaning of the sentence changes. Likewise is this chair that resembles the tail of a fish but is a sentence written in wood & upholstery emanating the purity of form and the simplicity of the language it’s made in.
