There is a land embraced by the mountains in northern Thailand, surrounded by lush green paddy fields, with sunlight softly shining through the morning fog. This land is home to a few small buildings that settle humbly in the middle of the fields, where many people seek to escape the chaos of the city and nestle in serenity. At the center of this land stands a small wooden pavilion. In architectural terms, it lacks complexity and astonishment, yet this pavilion stands respectfully within its environment.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The term "Sala" in Thai refers to a pavilion, a small structure amidst nature used as a shelter and a relaxing space. Sala Yangnar is an outdoor building designed for a team, serving as a multipurpose space for living, welcoming guests, and connecting to other buildings on the property. Here, a group of passionate architects known as "Yangnar Studio" lives together casually, pursuing their careers and enjoying life. For them, many meaningful moments occur under this simple gable roof. This pavilion is not just a temporary relaxing space; it also serves as a mental healing spot in everyday life.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Sala Yangnar is built upon the wisdom, experience, and efforts of Yangnar Studio. Using local materials such as reclaimed wood, bamboo, corrugated cement tiles, and handmade clay bricks, the design maximizes the potential of these materials and the site itself. For instance, clay bricks are efficient at absorbing water. The teak kitchen counter, which is water-resistant, showcases the beauty of wood in everyday function, with water running down to the ground via a bamboo gutter. The wooden walls, complemented by overhead bamboo shelves, provide additional storage space in the service zone.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The building is oriented along a north-south axis, with the kitchen zone facing south to capture sunlight for most of the day, keeping the area clean and dry. The building is fully open to the breeze, allowing the scent of the rice fields to flow through. The elevated wooden floor serves as a relaxing area that extends toward the green rice fields. The low eaves of the roof allow sunlight to penetrate the space only in the morning and evening, ensuring comfortable ventilation throughout the day.Save this picture!Save this picture!Every detail of Sala Yangnar reflects the skills and traditions of local craftsmen. The building incorporates traditional techniques, such as dowel-pin joints and both powered and hand tools, showcasing the artistry of the team. The construction methods are inspired by vernacular northern Thai architecture, with a commitment to preserve these techniques and share them with future generations through our design. Sala Yangnar was created through the collaboration of architects, craftsmen, and intern students, providing hands-on learning experiences in real-site construction. This shared passion is evident in the work, making the architecture both powerful and humble.Save this picture!Sala Yangnar reminds us that sometimes life requires little more than taking a nap by the rice fields as the rain softly falls.

Al Shindagha historic neighbourhood is located on the shore of Dubai Creek, bordered on the south by Bur Dubai and on the west by Port Rashid. Al Shindagha district began to expand when the Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Saeed Al Maktoum, settled in the neighbourhood from 1912 to 1958.Save this picture!As part of Dubais Historic District, along with Deira and Bur Dubai, Al Shindagha is currently undergoing major conservation and renovation work to turn the district into a prominent cultural destination. Our scope for the renovation initiative of Dubais Historic District consists of three distinct projects which include the Expo 2020 Shindagha Welcome Pavilion, Story of the Creek, and the Perfume House.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The design approach originates from studying Al Shindaghas heritage and context, aiming at reviving and restoring the neighbourhoods identity in a contemporary setting. Designing a visitor centre and museum in a context with many historic layers was a challenging experience that was overcome by creating a coherent synthesis between the old and new. Traditionally, the districts fabric portrayed harmony and integration between the natural and built environments. X Architects steered the design in a direction that revisits the past and reinterprets it in an innovative methodology while remaining rooted in the rich cultural heritage.Save this picture!The Shindagha Expo 2020 Welcome Pavilion, is a new proposed building that acts as a meeting point and information centre for the expected visitors of Dubais Historic District. Situated between traditional mud houses, the pavilion is designed as an open plaza with a roof. Teak wood has been chosen for the construction of this roof, as an acknowledgment of the significant role wooden dhows played in the triumph of Old Dubai. The shifting walls provide the flexibility to contain the space or let it flow out into the surrounding context.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The Story of the Creek Museum serves as an introduction to the vibrant history of Dubai and provides visitors with an excellent understanding of the context in which Dubai grew and developed into the thriving metropolis that it is today. It also shows how the citys leaders, both past and present, were essential in providing the vision behind this extraordinary expansion. Visitors will leave the museum with an in-depth understanding of how Dubai Creek has been a generator of trade, wealth, and success.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The Perfume House explores Emirati culture via scent and the heritage that stems from its fabrication and use. Visitors will be invited to explore scents via stations that allow them to compare and experiment with the different scents that are unique to Dubai.

Design collective Capitalism has unveiled The Uncomfortable table, which has 34 legs to ensure that all dinners have an awkward eating experience.Named The Uncomfortable, the unconventional table plays on the common frustration of being sat at the end of the table with an inconveniently placed leg during family gatherings and celebrations.Capitalism has created a 34-legged table as their debut project"In almost all middle-class Spanish families, there's always someone stuck with the leg," explained the creatives behind the Capitalism project. "We decided to democratise the discomfort with a table where everyone gets a leg.""Our goal is quite simple: we want people to think, 'Damn, I got the leg'. The difference is that, with this table, everyone has the chance to experience that feeling equally."The table is purposefully designed to distribute inconvenience equallyMeasuring 2.75 meters in length, the table's 34 legs were purposefully designed not for structural necessity but to distribute inconvenience equally among all diners. This deliberate focus on discomfort prioritises concept over practicality."The concept challenges traditional design by not aiming to be useful or functional but instead addressing this inequality in an ironic way," the group told Dezeen.Read: Paul Coenen adds "shrink-wrap" pattern to aluminium furniture collectionOver half of the legs were designed and produced by Capitalism, while the remainder were sourced pre-made, several of which were taken from popular table designs in Spain."Since our goal was to represent a collection of tables within a single piece, many of the legs were taken from tables that have been bestsellers in Spain," said the group. "Others were custom-designed to balance the composition and create contrast."Some of the legs are custom-designed while others are pre-madeEach leg was crafted and treated differently, with chrome-plated and galvanised steel legs shining alongside copper and methacrylate ones.The contrasting materials were intended to create a visual cacophony that highlights the table's disruptive intent and mirrors the diversity of family dynamics across Spain.The chaotic sprawl of legs was unified by a four-centimetre-thick solid oak tabletop that was finished with a blend of teak oil, linseed oil and additional varnishes that enhance both its durability and natural aesthetic."We wanted the table to feel timelesssomething that wasn't tied to any specific style or era, yet somehow belonged to all of them," said the collective."The robustness and longevity of oak worked perfectly in our favour to achieve this."The legs are crafted from a mix of materialsThe piece is currently on display at CUPRA City Garage. Capitalism, an anonymous group linked to the creative world, describes itself as a collective that reflects on and questions the paradoxes of modern society.Other furniture recently featured on Dezeen include a reissue of an IKEA steel-framed shelf and a marble door punctuated by nine porthole windows.The photography is by Miguel de Guzmn / Imagen Subliminal.The post Capitalism debuts 34-legged table that "democratises discomfort" appeared first on Dezeen.
