The future's called Silver.A chair for the next generation or possibly even the next-but-one generation? There are more important questions.But one thing is certain: wherever it turns up, Silver designed by the top Hamburg architect Hadi Teherani causes a stir and attracts everyone's attention.The equally elegant and unmistakable aluminium monocoque design with transparent castors or glides, or the controls that are perfectly integrated in the design yet can be easily operated with instinctive certainty these are features with which the three office and three conference chairs set an unprecedented example in the office. The chairs are supplemented by a stool that enriches the high-quality office environment just as unconventionally.

The British Pavilion has opened its doors to a School of Seeing. Given the wealth of models, photographs, maps, drawings, notes, film and exhibits from various ages that comment on one another here, indeed seem to generate one another, all the media manifestations, differences in genres and lines dividing the epochs seem to have little validity. At "Villa Frankenstein", where architecture, art and historiography bid you good night, order gets upended.

What an unusual task: to design a pool house! A pool house made of glass, steel and fabric is light and transparent and a far cry from a tool shed.

The solution need not always be a new building. And in the French Pavilion Dominique Perrault therefore asks how empty spaces in a city are handled and how we can rejuvenate our metropolitan peripheries. The Dutch Pavilion also focuses on how the existing can best be used. Here, Rietveld Landscape addresses the use of government-owned vacant buildings.

Building on Bespoke STRIPES – the 2003 textile collaboration with British fashion designer Paul Smith, Kvadrat’s international partner, Maharam, introduces a new series in collaboration with Paul Smith...a vibrant family of his signature STRIPES.Product overviewComposed as a series of textiles, STRIPES by Paul Smith are a study in variegation. Staccato repetitions, tonal modulations and punctuated sequences demonstrate Smith’s playful use of colour and proportion. Engineered to appear arbitrary, each variation in frequency, color, saturation, and density yields an entirely unique sensibility.Constructed in a dense wool warp-satin weave, STRIPES by Paul Smith were designed in an upholstery weight, and meet the European contract performance requirements.

The word "Sehnsucht" (desire) is written above the gold-colored drapes decorat-ing the entrance to the German Pavilion at the Venice Giardini. Inside, a burgundy red salon awaits the visitor, featuring more than 180 representatives of the trade - who each inform us about the depths and shallows of their souls on a single sheet of paper.

Kazuyo Sejima, the Director of the 12th Venice Architecture Biennial, has pulled something special out of the bag with the central exhibition "People meet in Architecture". She has managed to create an atmosphere of light-heartedness in which the opportunities afforded by contemporary architecture as well as the latter's limits are on show without glossing over the weighty issues.

A Walk in the PARCS.Working together with Bene, the London design studio PearsonLloyd has developed a completely new, unconventional furniture collection - a new concept of office life. PARCS is a room-shaping furniture set that can be assembled in many different combinations, creating an inspiring working environment for meetings, spontaneous exchange, waiting and relaxing.PARCS offers exhilarating enhancements to typical office layouts. The office is defined as an open urban landscape. With PARCS, new and visually stimulating accents can be given to the typically underutilised middle zones and transition areas between office spaces with clear functional roles. Similar to squares and parks in cities, these "in between" zones are available for communal utilisation.The friendly shapes of the PARCS furniture collection and their colours - sometimes minimalist, sometimes trendy - convey a feeling of lightness. The style, according to the London designers, "has been consciously kept calm, peaceful and neutral. At the same time, it is decidedly modern".Easy chairs and small stools, upholstered benches and partitions, wall elements, tables and shelves are the basic components of the PARCS set. These elements are called Toguna, Causeways, Wing Chair, Wing Sofa and Idea Wall, and can be integrated into multi-functional, space-shaping working landscapes. And they enable communication and concentration in an inspiring atmosphere.Toguna. The smallest conference room in the world. The Toguna is the most striking: a circular, half-open shape, a cylinder that stands freely in the space. Acoustically screened, the Toguna is a conspiratorial space for brainstorming, short meetings or discussions that require intense concentration. People can sit or stand in it. When someone enters the Toguna, they are right in the middle of the action.The idea for the Toguna comes from Mali in West Africa, where it is a gathering place for village elders to take their decisions.
