The New Defined Edge

In the new era of frugality, creativity will appear in new guises...not that the Libeskind pre-fab house on the right is frugal.(The house is energy-efficient, manufactured in Germany and can be shipped anywhere in the world for $2.8-4.2M.)

It is the new "edge" aesthetic that is more in tune with the times than all those swooping curves and undulations that we have seen recently in both architecture and furniture.
Exemplifying simplicity in the best sense of the word, the exquisite table with eased edges on the right is called "gorge" and is made from a single piece of powder-coated steel. Designed by Korean designer Ramei Keum, it is - at once elegant and child-like.
