Dyson Ventilators

Last week, Dyson launched the AM02 Tower and AM03 Pedestal floor standing fans, two floor fans in their bladeless Air Multiplier fanline, which launched late last year. The Air Multiplier technology replaces blades and grilles with loop amplifiers and draws air in at the base through a mixed flow impeller. This new line of floor fans offer oscillation like traditional fans, but can also be adjusted up and down to any height.

Tree museum opens in Zurich


Yesterday the Tree Museum opened outside of Zurich in Rapperswil-Jona, Switzerland, showcasing an incredible collection of 2,000 different species of trees. The museum was designed and built by Swiss landscape architect Enzo Enea with the help of Oppenheim Architecture + Design (OAD), who designed Enzo Enea’s new headquarters. The Tree Museum and the sustainably-built headquarters are located on the grounds of a 14th Century monastery, and the museum displays Enea’s personal collection of trees, which he has gathered over the past 17 years.

Limu is ideal as an addition to both interior furniture and protected outdoor areas: its versatile character can interpret the continuity between interior and outdoor by focusing on the fluidity of spaces and functions.
