Major overhaul after 60 years: United Nations Lounge.

Major overhaul after 60 years: United Nations Lounge . Hard chairs lead to hard positions, compromises are found on soft cushions. Psychologists at Harvard and Yale came to this conclusion when they studied tactile experience in relation to social behavior. Now one of the most important international decision-making spaces has undergone a redesign. On the initiative of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Hella Jongerius and Rem Koolhaas, among others, transformed the Delegates' Lounge at the United Nations headquarters in New York from a tired brown hall into a landscape dominated by earth, water and forest tones. If Harvard is right with its studies, discussions here can strike new notes from now on.

Cristina Celestino gives the Milan bistro "28 Posti" a makeover The "28 Posti" has been around for six years now - time for a complete makeover, according to the owners. And for this they brought the designer and architect Cristina Celestino on board. Cristina Celestino's individual style stands for elegance through striking shapes, exquisite materials and here - in the most positive sense - a touch of construction site. This was exactly what the team at "28 Posti" in Milan envisioned for the makeover of the trendy restaurant in the Italian design metropolis. In terms of color, the gourmet temple makes use of a palette of warm pastel and earth tones, rounded off by various wood finishes, terracotta from Fornace Brioni, waxed steel and lightly saturated blue. The walls under the historic wooden beams on the ceiling are covered with terracotta from Celestino's "Gonzaga" collection, next to it treated with earth plaster by Matteo Brioni.

Serpentine Pavilion in London by Counterspace For the 20th time, the Serpentine Pavilion has been built in London and has been open to visitors* since June 11. The Johannesburg-based multidisciplinary office Counterspace was commissioned to design it. Founder Sumayya Vally, at 30, is the youngest architect ever to design one of the temporary pavilions. The concept is informed by her life in South Africa as well as her eclectic approach to design. The pavilion is a place to connect the past and present, but it is also where different urban areas and communities are meant to meet. "My work and this pavilion focus on empowering and collaborating with numerous and diverse voices from many different cultures - with an interest in themes of identity, community, belonging, and encounter. The past year has brought these themes into sharp focus and given me the space to reflect on the indescribable generosity of the communities that have been integral to this pavilion," Vally says
