Cavern For Wallpaper and Interior Design
Started by Carly Margolis and Ophir Tanz, Cavern was a life-long dream by two design-oriented friends who saw a need for an industry renaissance in interior design. The two aim to bring abstracted natural elemnts into urban spaces, and the designs are all inspired from the natural world and clean lines of mid-century modern architecture. At the top is the Cavalry wallpaper. From afar, it looks very graphic and stylized. However, the pattern seen is actually 2 mirrored horse heads.
Trekky Inspired Home Theater
This home theater was inspired by Enterprise NCC-1701D from Star Trek: The Next Generation. This is actually really cool. This Palm Beach, Florida home theater was named the best theme theater installation at DECIA 2007. features “motion-activated air-lock doors with series sound effects, and a “Red Alert” button on the Crestron TPMC-10 controller to turn all of the LEDs bright red and flashing. The system also features “one of the largest Kaleidescape hard-drive based storage systems” ever created, amassing eight servers with 3,816 DVDs.”

Restroom anyone ?!
Believe it or not, the humble bathroom/restroom is the new mecca for design. All over the world leading designers are transforming aesthetically pleasing places for people to pee, pooh and, well, be pampered, all in the name of making the daily commute to the restroom a little less dreary. I always loved the restroom / toilets design – kinda kinky

Thierry Mugler : 2007
“The prophet of Futurism” , as he has been referred to, Thierry Mugler is an instinctive designer who never looks for inspiration. According to Thierry Mugler, “intellect is the servant of the spirit.”
He strongly feels that his clothing is modernistic and not futuristic. Clothes of today should have nothing to do with the past. They should create elegance with simple form and structure and add defined shape to the body, volume, form and simplicity.
